From his golf vacation at his Bedminster Club, Trump retweeted Terrence K. Williams, who asked people to retweet his message if they agreed and were not surprised by his contention that Clinton had Epstein killed.
#JefferyEpstein had information on Bill Clinton & now hes dead, Williams said. I see #TrumpBodyCount trending but we know who did this! [Retweet] if youre not surprised.

Well we all know what reverse psychology means, right?
I know what I am but what are you?

(12,426 posts)Nothing Trump does is without purpose. It's either denial, deflection or distraction, or possibly, in this case, as in many others, all three. There's little benefit for him to engage in just gratuitous Clinton slurring

(5,723 posts)God Emperor Dummy Boy's complete lack of self-awareness and self-control will do him in, just as surely as Epstein's led to his downfall.
It just shouldn't take so damned long.

(14,967 posts)That's pretty much held true thus far on every other topic. Of course, between Trump and Barr, there is no way for the DOJ/FBI to properly investigate the matter with any semblance of credibility.

The people are suffering because of the Democrats, Trump said. So, weve created, and theyve created, and theyve let it happen a massive child smuggling industry. Thats exactly what it has become.

The king of projection clued us in on the real reason for separating thousands of kids. He tweeted similar accusations as well.

(14,275 posts)He acted bizarre even by his standards. But if he had just ordered a murder, that would explain the liquid fear oozing out of him.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)But he is clearly projecting here. He is not allowing for the possibility of a suicide. I think he definitely had something to do with this. Or knew it was going to happen.

(50,557 posts)The logical assumption would be that if the Clintons were the murderous thugs the Trumps claim they are, they would have greased Fat Donnie about a week after he took the lead in the GOP primary race. Since they didn't, there are only two logical conclusions we can make: that the Clintons are really bad at murdering people, or they don't murder anyone.

(5,723 posts)Jones kept screaming about how Bill and Hill killed this person, killed that person, killed anyone who got in their way...and yet somehow they couldn't polish him off. He's not exactly a ninja.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Of course it's silly but you left out one logical conclusion - they didn't expect Trump to win. Even if there was some insane chance all this was true, why in the hell would the Clintons risk everything to kill a candidate they assumed they could easily beat in the general election? Especially if it meant the GOP would just turn around and nominate someone that could theoretically be more difficult to beat.
The general feeling by everyone in 2015 was that if the GOP nominated Trump, they would be writing their own obituary. Well...

Crunchy Frog
(26,587 posts)As he is well known for projecting things about himself onto other people.
He seems very anxious to deflect attention from himself.
Tiggeroshii
(11,088 posts)But now I'm pretty sure Trump murdered Epstein. His tweets are projection-central.
ecstatic
(32,705 posts)At a certain point, when he becomes comfortable in the knowledge that nobody will do anything to stop him, this is going to happen a lot more frequently.
womanofthehills
(8,710 posts)he has probably gotten away with murder in the past. Definitely projection - he had him killed.

(21,573 posts)I mean when the president is implying By retweet that you are a murderer, that carries some pretty heavy weight with it. That has to fit some definition of defamation.
