A resurfaced clip shows sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pleading the Fifth when he was asked during a deposition if he ever socialized with underage girls around Donald Trump.

The video clip, unearthed by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, shows Epstein responding to questions during a March 2010 deposition. The disgraced financier was questioned by an attorney of an alleged victim, Vice News previously reported.

      Trump did his part. Thanks to Trump they managed to cut medicare and give massive tax cuts to the rich. That was the main goal for this term but now people will start to realize what happened and Republicans may lose the midterms. So what do you do? You get rid of Trump and blame everything on him. You replace him with someone more stable and easier to control.

      Basically now that they got what they wanted they want to put JD in charge to stabilize the economy and increase their chances of winning midterms. That’s how I see it.

          You don’t think JD will calm it down with the tariffs or at least will stop changing his mind about it every week? That’s all coming from Trump. It helps people in is circle to make some money but the rich definitely don’t like it.

            No, I don’t think he would. For sure he’d accelerate the US’s transition into a dictatorship, tariffs would be a minor concern.

              That’s a completely different thing. I’m talking about global trade. The elites want global trade to continue and Trump and his terrible policies are fucking it all up. The elites would like to see some stabilization but then can’t control Trump. JD would help them with that.

              What would happen internally in US is a different story. I didn’t make any claims about it. Of course JD would be terrible for average American but we’re talking about elites and why they would prefer him from Trump. Not what you would prefer.
