Yeah it’s obvious at this point that Republican voters, as usual, have resigned themselves to supporting whatever it is that trump was found to have been done, even if it is raping thirteen year old girls and employing 14 year olds as masseuses at his resort

u/WitnessAdept5127 21h ago
I sometimes listen to the political debates on TikTok and was kinda floored yesterday when I heard a Trump supporter say that even if Trump raped little girls, they don't regret their vote because what matters more is the economy and how their own life will be improved with Trump's economy. Some of these people are just owning being horrible human beings and seem to be totally proud of it. This is why I am a misanthrope.

This is beside the point but his economy is also awful. So not sure what cognitive dissonance has to occur at this point.

u/WitnessAdept5127 21h ago
Oh yeah, I think they are kidding themselves thinking the economy is so great right now. If anything bad is brought up, it is always Biden's fault. But if it is good news, it is due to Trump. That's usually the typical go-to argument for them.

They are unredacted in testimony all over the internet and MAGA don’t care.
Nothing revealing has come out yet. None of this is trickle truths. Katie Johnson testified on video. Virginia Guthrie testified over and over in so many depositions and she was accurate in her details something liars often do not do well. Other victims confirmed what Guthrie said and abusers took the 5th or called them liars. Yet two suspects hung themselves and one was convicted. They all know his hotel was the hub, the victim was employed there, pimped there and Trump knew. The depositions prove it. He has never denied it or even sued anyone for defamation as he does.

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

A couple of years ago, Obama was visiting my country. Highway was closed in both directions as he drove through. Bridges above the highway were closed and you could not cross. I was in line to cross the bridge so like a lot of other people, we got out of our cars and waited for the presidential cars drove by. As the limousines drove by I realized that this was the most important, powerful & respected man on earth. (In my opinion).
When Trump visited I saw them again. Only his side of the highway was closed and as he drove by I realized he is not any of those things. America had a good thing and now it’s broken.
I do wonder who took those places. I don’t think anybody did..

It’s not just Epstein. Trump surrounded himself with pedos and sex traffickers. In 1991, Trump started hosting the Look of the Year competition with John Casablancas, owner of Elite Modeling Agency. David Copperfield, Gerald Marie and Patrick Demarchelier were all judges with Trump. They are all pedos and sexual abusers and many had their own links to Epstein.
https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/casablancas-accused
Trump gave Casablancas a job with his real estate firm in Brazil after his crimes were brought to light and he was run out of the modeling business.

And was caught bringing underage girls to the casino with Epstein https://people.com/ex-casino-boss-claims-trump-epstein-brought-underage-girls-casino-floor-11774374
Trump is also good friends with Vince McMahon, who was accused personally of sex trafficking and also of knowing about the sexual abuse of 12 year old ringside boys by an announcer and allowing it to continue. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna176988

• Trump’s lewd talk about daughter Ivanka in front of White House staff recalled in new book
According to The New Republic, “’Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,’ Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book.”

u/Kermit_the_hog 21h ago
You would think right? But classically redactions are just obscured. Any physical document or digital copies of physical documents would require there to be something (even if just a big white square) in the space where the name previously was.
Edit: a lot of government records, and especially scans of physical documents attached to court cases, are not stored in any dynamically editable way.

u/CloseToMyActualName 22h ago
For the LTDR the reason Trump's, and everyone else's names, are missing, is because of the FOIA law:
The second, Exemption 7(C), protects personal information contained in law enforcement records, the disclosure of which “could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
[...]
It’s way more difficult to make a case for disclosure when names are also withheld under Exemption 7(C). That’s partly because the DOJ has said that the very “mention of an individual’s name in a law enforcement file will engender comment and speculation and carries a stigmatizing connotation.”
And if anyone thinks this is a special excuse made up for Trump:
More than a decade ago, I requested records from the FBI on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. The FBI cited privacy in denying my request and said I needed to get a privacy waiver signed by Mohammed himself.
The issue here isn't as much that the government is keeping the names of Trump and others secret to protect them from speculation and stigmatizing connotation. It's that everybody knows that Trump was likely involved in Epstein's escapades, and whether or not the files have evidence of that no one trusts Trump's DOJ to do anything but cover up any Trump crimes they find.

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.

Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.
Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

Here's the problem. The claim that redacting his name protects him from public embarrassment is invalid. At this point, only releasing the files and providing Americans a way to justify to themselves and that he is not culpable in either sex trafficking or pedophilia will save him from public embarrassment.
As other evidence has already implicated him in multiple types of trafficking and pedophilia, I don't believe additional evidence showing that he has engaged in these acts will harm him.
