“If the media you consumed told you that Donald Trump was on his deathbed because he didn’t do a press conference for 3 days, imagine what else they’re lying to you about.” – Vice President JD Vance
Over the long Labor Day weekend, the social media rumor that President Donald J. Trump was either gravely ill or dead spread like wildfire, with the media treating it as though it was credible speculation instead of the concoction of cranks and kooks promoting falsehoods that were all the more absurd because of Democrats and so-called “journalists” covering for the mentally unfit Joe Biden for nearly four years.
Like millions of other Americans, the president chose to take a break for the holiday and addressed the ridiculous death rumors on his return to work.
.@pdoocy: “How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?”

But the ‘Trump is dead’ lie was just the appetizer for an even bigger hoax that Democrats and their co-conspirators are hoping that the public’s mouth will be watering for.
One which unfortunately some Republicans were all to eager to lend credence to, and while the formal process of probing lingering questions related to dead pedophile and reputed political blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein plays out in the House Oversight Committee, they helped Democrats legitimize their latest hoax by participating in a Capitol Hill news conference on Wednesday featuring a number of alleged victims who offered few answers and gave the appearance of shakedown artists looking for a score.
Giving credibility to Democrats is Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), an Israel-hating pain in the ass with a colossal hard-on for Trump, who he has repeatedly undermined by siding with the opposition party. Massie’s disdain for the Jewish state and pro-Israel lobbying groups that have backed a primary challenge puts him in good company with Democrats, with the current congressional caucus giving the American Nazi Party a run for its money when it comes to anti-Semitism.
Unfortunately, the well-meaning but gullible Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) allowed herself to be hornswoggled into also showing up, a feather in the cap for Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna, the point man who put the charade together with Massie during the House’s lengthy summer recess.
Releasing the Epstein files brought @mtgreenee & me together.
Maybe it can bring our nation together.
It’s about survivors.
It’s about standing against two Americas.

As one X user put it: “It’s tiresome just how many otherwise earnest conservatives have fallen for Thomas Massie’s narcissistic con. Thomas Massie is a Nigerian prince inviting you to a ‘free’ time-share weekend. Wise up people. Wise up. Thomas Massie does more to promote the Democrat agenda than most Democrats.”
The highly suspect hype about some sort of smoking gun in the DOJ/FBI files should only arouse serious suspicion that something has been planted by Democrat operatives during the Biden administration, which had control over the material for four years, a possibility that Trump himself has suggested while correctly branding the sudden interest in transparency as a hoax.

If there was a real smoking gun, it would be contained on the videos from Epstein’s private Caribbean compound dubbed “Orgy Island” and “Pedo Island” by the locals and from his New York City townhouse, which was also filled with hidden surveillance cameras. Those are gone. Having either been destroyed or holed away for safekeeping and with Epstein having been the victim of a peculiar “suicide” in his maximum security prison cell, as the saying goes, “dead men tell no tales.”
The Democrat-controlled media is going to run with it, and thanks to the embittered Massie, they are able to present the hoax as having bipartisan support as they seek to build and maintain the narrative that Trump and Epstein have always been chained at the hip with all of the sleazy innuendo and anonymous quotes that have been a fixture of their coverage for the last decade.
Will Americans buy it? Some will, but only those who are chumps, suckers, and losers, or in other words, Democrats and Never Trumpers. As the showman P.T. Barnum once famously remarked, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
