A fresh Epstein bombshell & a chance or rain just in time for Tr*mp’s 80th birthday celebration

Tr*mp’s 80th birthday is right around the corner, along with his Freedom 250 celebration and all its attendant chaos. But after nearly every artist bailed on the concert series—not to mention actual UFC fighters talking about the “corruption” of the White House cage match—both the concert and the UFC event are already looking like failures. And on top of that, the forecast is predicting rain on the day!

Whomp, whomp.

You can bet the octogenarian birthday boy isn’t happy about any of it, but the gag is, it’s about to get a whole lot worse. Because not only is UFC coming to Washington, DC for the birthday bash—so is the Epstein library.

Remember last month, when a Tribeca pop-up featured a tactile library full of hundreds of binders of every Epstein file printed out for public perusal? Well, that concept is popping right up in DC this week, and it’s going to cause no end of scandal for the spinning-out president.

Politics, but make it gay!

Perfectly named the D*nald J. Tr*mp and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, the project has a twofold purpose: first, to expose Tr*mp’s massive cover-up operation by making the files physically available to the public, and second, to pressure the DOJ to release the estimated remaining 3 million files.

The likelihood of that happening seems remote under the current administration, but the project—funded by the nonpartisanInstitute for Primary Facts—is more about keeping the decades-long relationship between Tr*mp and the s*x trafficker alive and in the public eye.

According to the institute, over 10,000 New Yorkers (and tourists) showed up to view the files during the May pop-up, and the Washington D.C. turnout is expected to be even bigger, with the library currently taking reservations for viewing appointments.

Tr*mp loves New York, so having the reading room in Tribeca couldn’t have been his favorite thing, but now that it’s in DC, he’s going to be even more pissed. Tr*mp’s lengthy involvement in the Epstein scandal isn’t going away despite many high profile distractions, and the president’s many enemies in congress, such as Republican Epstein Files Transparency Act co-author Thomas Massie, aren’t going to let him forget about it.

Last week, congresswoman Madeline Dean grilled Tr*mp attorney and AG Todd Blanche about the absurd over-redactions the DOJ did on the files, which protected powerful men while exposing Epstein victims. “When will you comply with the law and release all the files?” she asked Blanche, who’s now in the hot seat after Pam Bondi shifted blame for the messy Epstein files rollout completely on to Blanche’s shoulders.

Obviously we won’t be getting a straight answer in the foreseeable future—but we might not need to. With the library opening in D.C. bearing a wall full of comments from viewers asking for accountability and expressing disgust and horror at the actions of Epstein and his accomplices, we all know it’s a terrible look for a man digging himself into a deeper hole by the day. Like the projection that haunted the White House Correspondents Dinner and the Times Square billboard that both called attention to Epstein and Tr*mp’s special relationship, it really doesn’t take much to reheat the scandal that Tr*mp can’t successful sweep under the rug.

Unfortunately for him, the haunting has just begun.
