In Trump’s desperate, deluded and deranged attempts to distract from his involvement with America’s most notorious modern sex trafficker and paedophile, there are literally no limits.

The president who so covets a peace prize that he accepted a fake one from Fifa will stop at nothing to cover up the Epstein files, and these victims are collateral damage as much as Virginia Giuffre (exploited by Epstein, Maxwell and “prince” Andrew) who died by suicide earlier this year.
