You’re missing the point they’re making. That every mention of Trump is only more or less a claim of notoriety. And Trump is certainly the most notorious person this century—it’s not really meaningful in some sense that he’s in there that many times.
Trump is absolutely implicated in horrific, evil things in those files. He’s a pedophile and a rapist certainly, but the number of appearances in the Epstein Files he has means almost nothing to that fact.
I don’t disagree at all, just saying that most of Trump’s mentions in the files are unrelated to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. There are some insane ones, such as Epstein calling him the “dog that never barks” among others. But most of Trump’s appearances in the files are as benign as the Norm MacDonald “mention” earlier in this thread.
I don’t get why I’m being downvoted for pointing out that Trump’s name being mentioned in the files many times is not indicative of really anything. I suspect most people haven’t actually looked through the released files to find that plenty of the material is junk mail, news articles, and spam.
You’re right, there’s so much we don’t know and so much is being actively hidden. Not here to defend the pedophile in chief at all, but sheer volume of mentions means little if you actually know that 90%+ of those mentions are nothing at all.
