Handwritten Epstein Notes Found, Confirm He Wanted to Hurt Trump as Badly as Possible, Wasn\'t Friend at All
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 17, 2026 | Joe Saunders, The Western Journal

This isn't the kind of news liberals generally see fit to print.

The New York Times Magazine this week published a mammoth look at the last days of life for sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, apparently aimed at establishing firmly whether the official finding that Epstein committed suicide actually holds water

On that front, the effort is a failure, but the notoriously liberal publication did manage to cement one fact -- and it's not the kind of fact its liberal readership craves when it comes to President Donald Trump.

Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with trying to take down Trump before suicide, report says https://t.co/N8kpqVWlG6 pic.twitter.com/Tyf4MrWbal

— New York Post (@nypost) June 16, 2026

Since Trump's return to the White House in 2025, political opponents who spent four years forgetting that Epstein ever existed have suddenly morphed into Torquemada-level fanatics about the affairs of the late, unlamented Epstein.

As usual for the left, the goal has nothing to do with the truth -- Epstein's associates were overwhelmingly leftish (even if you leave Bill Clinton out of it), and his political contributions all leaned decidedly in the Democratic direction.

The aim of the left instead is to try to link Epstein and his evil to Trump in any way imaginable -- to make it appear the two men were friends and that Trump is somehow tainted with Epstein's crimes. But the magazine report does exactly the opposite.

In fact, Trump's name comes up only five times in the report's nearly 150 paragraphs, twice as a means of establishing another person's identity (former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, former Trump Attorney General Robert Barr), and three times in phrases that make it clear Epstein was anything but a friend of the man who's now in the Oval Office.

In one paragraph describing the methodology behind the mammoth report, the article stated:

Anyone who actually read the transcripts and other information knows that Trump was the good guy in the Epstein saga. Epstein was in Trump’s social circle but once Trump learned what a scumbag Epstein was, he kept him out of his clubs and went to the police and told anyone who would listen that Epstein was a bad guy. Epstein then hated Trump and tried to get him in revenge. That is the truth. But the idea that Trump was one of the few good guys with morals in this unseemly saga is so alien to the media and Dems that they just can’t comprehend it. Some Republicans can’t comprehend it. But its true and more and more evidence of it like this keeps coming out.

Outside of conservative sites, this won’t be reported by the media anywhere, as in, absolutely nowhere, not even page A16 of the NYTimes.

Of course, this means nothing to liberals. They care nothing about truth, hence, current media outlet’s addiction for lies.

And those with terminal TDS will claim it’s in Trump’s handwriting.

Truth and facts are irrelevant. You will still hear the communists talk about Trump being an Epstein friend as if it were fact.

And they are still calling him a pedophile. The latest twist is they are accusing them, Trump and Epstein, of sacrificing babies to Satan and eating them............

Why not? The indoctrinated public believes them.

You proved why the left hates Trump so much when you said “Anyone who actually read the transcripts”

When Epstein was arrested, I had to wonder how it was that if he was such an asset to the CIA, Mossad and the Rothschilds, then WHO was it that greenlit his arrest?

His hatred of President Donald Trump should provide a clue.

We also all knew he had only weeks to months left to live. Either that or he’s off sipping Goldstar Beer on a beach in Tel Aviv with a new name and face.

Old news, but the media will never embrace these truths. The media is corrupt. The media is fake.

Well, DUH! Why does anyone think Biden sat on the entire Epstein pile for 4 years?

But try telling that to braindead retards like Tucker, Candyass, Dave Smith, Shawn Ryan et al.

They never stop to think that IF there was anything devastating to Trump in the Epstein files they would have dug it out and ‘leaked’ it to WaPo, NYT and ABCNNBCBS...................

Trump also voluntarily offered testimony to the prosecution in 2007 right before Epstein was found guilty of sexual assault of minors, the FAR LEFT media never mentions this in their reporting, Lying By Omission occurs on a daily basis by the far left news rags.
