Trump Demands Censorship, Forgets Epstein's Guest List
The Independent breathlessly reports Trump's latest demand for a comedian's cancellation, completely omitting the public record of Trump's own decades-long association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump himself boasted of his relationship with Epstein to New York Magazine in 2002, stating, 'I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. 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.' The joke isn't just about 'Epstein,' it's about facts Trump himself brought to light years ago. For a former (and aspiring future) President to demand a media personality be 'taken off the air' for lampooning his documented past associations isn't just thin-skinned; it's a chilling echo of authoritarian
tactics used to muzzle dissent. Perhaps the 'Hurricane Epstein' Kimmel mentioned isn't about new revelations, but the storm of inconvenient truths the powerful always try to suppress. (One might wonder if there's a pattern here, much like his past calls to 'open up libel laws' against critical press.)
