U.S President Donald Trump revealed what he called a “massive” new trade deal with the European Union — but the spotlight quickly shifted when a reporter asked about his long-rumored ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The question ignited an instant reaction: “You’ve got to be kidding me. No. It had nothing to do with it.”
As Epstein headlines surge and scrutiny intensifies, Trump appears increasingly defensive. Critics say the trade announcement was a distraction tactic. Trump says it's “conspiracy nonsense.” Who’s right?
We break down the viral moment, what the trade deal really includes, and why the Epstein story refuses to go away.
00:00Mr. President, it was part of the rush to get this deal done to North Jeffrey Epstein's story.
00:04Oh, you've got to be kidding with that.
00:07On August 1st and beyond.
00:10Okay?
00:10Mr. President, it was part of the rush to get this deal done to North Jeffrey Epstein's story.
00:15Oh, you've got to be kidding with that.
00:18No, it had nothing to do with it.
00:20Only you would think that.
00:21That had nothing to do with it.
00:30Democrats have now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make.
00:44The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn't do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes.
00:53It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did.
01:03I'm actually not in a good mood.
01:04Our country was dead.
01:05We had a dead country because of an incompetent president and incompetent Democrats.
01:10All they know how to do is talk and think about conspiracy theories and nonsense.
01:15We've got a lot of attention.
03:15They're started by the Democrats and some Republicans, in this case I was surprised, but they got duped.
