So far, I’ve not heard any of this. I’m hoping to hear from all those women on the Capitol steps claim that Trump was the one who Raped them. Epstein is dead. Maxwell is in jail. We know what they did but we need to know what TRUMP did. End of story.
Rodolfo (@rora54.bsky.social) reply parent
Moving to the Epstein files. We know Trump’s name is in those files. What we don’t know is to what extent. What we need is to have ALL those women come out and say Trump, when he was a public citizen, Raped, sexually exploited and abused me at a certain location and on this before my 18th birthday.
