Trump denies visiting the island, so if these people on "his side" are truthful, it would be another case of Trump lying. If Trump wasn't lying, then the people on "his side" are lying.
Can you provide any sources that can verify that Trump ever visited the island? Because, last I check, although Trump said he had associated with Jeffery, there is no verified evidence that he actually visited his island.

I haven’t heard such foolhardy certainty and misplaced faith since the day the confederacy said they could win the war in 30 days.

If they attacked us back, we’d be at the brink of war, if not full war, and we’d have no allies as we’d be in the wrong. I guess I’m just too pro-life to get all excited to send other people’s kids off to die in a war started pointlessly by us as the aggressor, or to cheer murdering people who weren’t proven to be anywhere forbidden doing anything wrong. My patriotism doesn’t involve being the biggest bully in the schoolyard and treating war like “Call of Duty.”

You were saying...?

Seems like my intuition is defeating your candles and sage burning. Again, a "perportional" response like operation praying mantis.

Them files get released and we might all find out?

Okay. I am just confused. I just assumed that smudging was a native American pagan thing that goes against Christian teachings. But I could be wrong. But that is another conversation altogether. Perhaps I can start another thread so you can better explain without things going off topic.
Well, that’s what you get for assuming things. And I wasn’t talking about smudging. I was talking about lighting incense. While I’m flattered you want to start a different thread to discuss my religious practices to determine if you think I belong in the CO section, it’s unnecessary. I meet all the standards to do so per forum rules and the moderators, so your blessing is not needed.

None of that refutes what I said.

That’s not what I was lighting candles and incense for, and using a destroyer against a small boat of non enemy combatants is not a “perportional” or proportional response.

Agreed. I'm supposing hypothetically that evidence of Trump visiting the island could be among the things in the Epstein Files that Trump does not wish to disclose. A motive for his flip-flop on this promise.

Then why didn't the Biden administration do anything about it?

There were plenty of charges against Trump at the time. But the GOP insisted that he be allowed to get away with all his crimes.

From AI:

There is no documented evidence that President Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, which was central to the sex trafficking allegations against Epstein.

Here’s what’s known:
• ️ Flight Logs: Trump’s name appears in Epstein’s flight logs from the 1990s, showing he flew on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times—but only between Palm Beach and New York, not to the island.

• ️ Island Visit Claims: Despite social media speculation, fact-checkers like PolitiFact have found no credible proof that Trump ever set foot on Epstein’s island

Available documents are not sufficient for a lot of right wing people, who were led to believe theres additional info from the investigation thats not yet been made available.

Are they correct? Lets see.

So the court of public opinion has already found Trump guilty, but they just have not found the evidence yet.

Why is there an assumption that the only place Epstein abused girls was on the island?

He had a mansion in New York, in Manhattan.

Here is an article about what was inside when he was arrested in 2019.


When asking google what happened at Epstein's New York house, this is what comes up:


Jeffrey Epstein used his New York townhouse, located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, to sexually abuse and traffic underage girls between at least 2002 and 2005. Authorities raided the mansion in July 2019, shortly after his arrest on federal charges, and found numerous incriminating items.​
Sexual abuse and sex trafficking​
  • Epstein and his associates, including Ghislaine Maxwell, lured vulnerable underage girls to the mansion with promises of money for massages.
  • The girls were frequently paid in cash and were pressured to recruit other underage girls, creating a "pyramid scheme of abuse".
  • In December 2021, a woman who only went by the name "Carolyn" testified that she was a teen when she met Maxwell at Epstein's mansion in 2001. Carolyn stated that she was paid to give Epstein more than 100 massages over the years, until she was "too old".
  • Jennifer Araoz, another victim, testified that she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Epstein in the mansion starting when she was 14.
Trump didn't have to go to the island, and that he did not go there does not mean it didn't happen elsewhere.

True - but then there is Maxwell's own testimony

that’s correct according to recently released transcripts. Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, told the U.S. Department of Justice that she never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way” and described Donald Trump as “a gentleman in all respects during the times she interacted with him.

These statements came during two days of interviews in July 2025, which were later made public as part of the Justice Department’s release of the so-called “Epstein Files” to Congress. Maxwell also said she never saw Trump in any “massage setting,” a term prosecutors have linked to Epstein’s illicit activities.

He does sound uncharacteristically desperate if not necessarily guilty. Like he might be protecting "important" people.

But his own little trail of evidence suggests he at least knew what was going on.
Yeah, but when has he ever take the heat for somebody other than himself? Unless maybe he’s protecting his son or sons.

Maxwell did not testify in her trial and was seen as a liar by authorities. Her recent claim that Trump did nothing is suspect as she was rewarded for it by moving into a low security prison where she can take Pilates classes and such. It is nicknamed 'Club Fed'.
That is not appropriate for a convicted sex trafficker.

that’s correct according to recently released transcripts. Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, told the U.S. Department of Justice that she never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way” and described Donald Trump as “a gentleman in all respects during the times she interacted with him.

Maxwell also said she never saw Trump in any “massage setting,” a term prosecutors have linked to Epstein’s illicit activities.
Same comment. She is known as a liar by lawyers and authorities. She takes no responsibility for her crimes. The Trump administration rewarded her with the move to a much nicer prison.

How about the survivors? Are they liars also?

Epstein Survivors: ‘Trump Not Implicated’ In Misconduct


Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse — and Ghislaine Maxwell — said they never saw President Donald Trump engage in misconduct, even as scrutiny of his ties to Epstein continues.​
In interviews with NBC News published Wednesday, several survivors and their families said they never saw either Trump or former President Bill Clinton involved in wrongdoing.​

How about the video of them saying so?


We have Trump denying the allegation - Maxwell who handled all the nastiness saying Trump never did anything and now the survivors stating on camera that Trump was not involved.


But hey! Trump is still guilty - right?
