Trump makes clear shooter’s ‘manifesto’ paedo traitor comments aimed at him

Donald Trump has made clear that he believes ‘shooter’ Cole Allen’s ‘manifesto‘ comments about a “paedophile rapist and traitor” were about him. The slip came as a rattled Trump denied any wrongdoing during a 60 Minutes interview after the event.

Trump: yes, the manifesto was about me…

Trump’s interviewer Norah O’Donnell asked about Allen’s “stunning” document, which was sent to family members minutes before the incident. She then noted that it said Allen was “no longer willing to permit a paedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands in his crimes”.

Trump lashed out, claiming he was being asked this because the 60 Minutes crew are “horrible people”. But, as O’Donnell pointed out, he had immediately assumed the “paedophile rapist and traitor” in the comment was him. Cue more tantrums and denial:

Trump even claimed he had been “totally exonerated”. Not quite. He appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, even though his Department of Justice has released only two percent of them, in heavily redacted form. And he is accused in those files, among other things, of raping and beating at least one thirteen-year-old child and watching as the same or another thirteen-year-old’s baby was dumped in a lake.

Jean Carroll also won almost $90m in damages from the president in a civil case after she accused him of sexual assault. Although the case did not prove rape according to New York State’s narrow definition of penetrative sex, appeal judge Lewis A Kaplan said that the allegation of rape was “substantially true” and Trump’s appeal argument was “entirely unpersuasive“. “Totally exonerated”? Right.

Even CBS, now owned and run by pro-Trump fanatical Israel supporters, can rattle Trump into such telling give-aways.
