What he says and what he does is two DIFFERENT things.
He SAYS things to distract you from what he is DOING.

What happened to, "there aren't any epstein files, it was all a hoax by the radical left?"
It's not real but if it is then it's a hoax and if it's not a hoax it's okay to fuck kids.
Because they're older kids, it's not pedophilia, right? Just gotta think of a new angle!
15 is basically 16 is basically 17 and de facto 18. Wham bam, case closed.

Schröedinger's files!
Even better, just release them :3
He doesn't care?
Then tell us who bubba is!? Who'd you blow? Who's knob did you gobble? We're all dying to know, Mr. Doesn't Care.
Thought they didn't exist, Donny boy?
It's very simple...
He doesn't care if the files, which don't exist, get released, which he could do unilaterally, but he won't, since he doesn't care, because he's not in them, and they're a political hit job by the democrats, or they would be, if they were real, but they aren't.
Got it?
He's tried every other argument, now he's trying reverse psychology again

Demented old fool has forgotten he's in them
Nah. I'm sure he knows he's in them. He probably just thought he could tell one of his sycophants to remove or redact his name like they could just do a "find all" and delete. He probably thinks his name has been scrubbed.
They probably did that but it didn't match DONNI TEE which is how that email got released
Maybe the only part he was worried about getting out was him sucking a guy's dick
Unlikely
Why should he care if they prove he committed heinous crimes? Nothing is going to be done about it
Sucking a guy's dick isn't a crime, but sex with a minor sure is.
He has already been convicted of multiple other felonies and doesn’t serve time. Why should this be any different?

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how Trump will face repercussions for these crimes when he hasn't for any other crimes. Who is going to prosecute him? What is the plan if the files prove he committed heinous crimes? Since he's clearly immune to all consequences of crimes, I think he's more concerned about people thinking he's gay
IF anything happens to him, it will be because he has eroded the trust of his conspiracy theorist cult by trying to cover up his pedophilia more than the pedophilia itself. A lot of his power is derived from his cult, which the Republicans are terrified of alienating. If he loses enough of their support, Republicans won't be so hell-bent on protecting him at all costs. It's a big "if."

What I still don't get is why the dems didn't release the files when they could. We could have been freed from Trump and other pedophiles.
I’m assuming it’s most likely those files are also riddled with dems in them.
At this point, release the files and put everyone in them who’s guilty away. If they’re guilty of raping children castrate them.
America needs to rebuild its government from the ground up.
Death to pedophiles.
For most of Biden's term they were sealed under court order. But that ended Jan 1st, so there was 20 days to issue the order.
Because a number of their nepotistic social institutions will crumble if they reveal the extent to which major democrat figures were equally involved with republicans, all setting aside politics together for this one, magical thing they love to do together... raping kids. Not passing bills together, not working together for the people, not setting aside differences for good things. And of course it would reveal the number of dems who at least knew about it but never said anything.
Remember, establishment dems are "old money," they thrive on political connection and social standing and all their political power comes from those lofty, liberal elitist social networks. Far more so than the right, they depend on having that perception of "propriety" and good social-standing.
In a somewhat ideal world, the files will be released and they would implicate the entire rotten core of our ruling class and it would result in the entire institution being cleared out for a new generation of leaders and representatives.
We do not live in that ideal world. In the years since the files were acquired, and particularly in the last two months or so when the government was shut down, they had every chance to bargain, to pay people, to hire expert data-assassins to make every video and photo disappear, and all we'll be left with is hints and shady references to aliases.
Suuuure he doesn't care..
(That's why he's got Pam Bondi digging through them to find dirt on the Democrats.)
He's gotta act cool, no matter what..
I'm 100% sure there are democrats in the files. However, the fact that they haven't released any den names or tried to prosecute any sure is interesting.

He thinks the ones his fbi has redacted are the ones we're gonna go with
There are no consequences for anything that he’s done, so why would he care?
He probably panicked at some point because of it, but realised what country he's king in.
hot take: drumpf has lived in fear of the day pootin releases his p(enis blowing) tape and secretly can't wait for the sweet release of death at the hands of the heir apparent. Any day now...

- That didn't happen.
- And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
- And if it was, that's not a big deal.
- And if it is, that's not my fault.
- And if it was, I didn't mean it.
- And if I did, you deserved it.

Translation: he really, really cares.
gets punched in face
IT DUSNT HURRRT
That's not what he's telling his toadies in Congress
After dodging this issue for over a year? Press X to doubt.
Good news everyone!
You don't think that means they are done purging every copy of the files in existence of any mention of people in his corner?
Either the pedo-files have been scrubbed, or he got the go ahead to have the DOJ tie it up in an investigation so that he can now say, “I really wish we could show them, but my hands are tied!”
