President Trump was despised by Jeffrey Epstein long before the financier’s crimes fully came to light. The two men, who had briefly moved in the same Palm Beach social circles during the late 1990s and early 2000s, had a spectacular falling-out around 2004 when Trump personally banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning of his predatory behavior toward an underage girl at the club. Epstein never forgave the humiliation and reportedly seethed with hatred toward Trump, telling associates that Trump was the one powerful man in New York who had turned on him and cut him off completely. That personal enmity is precisely why Epstein’s name and influence never extended an invitation or protection to Trump—because the feeling of contempt was entirely mutual, and Trump was never part of Epstein’s inner circle of compromised elites.

Yesterday’s state funeral for Dick Cheney in Washington, D.C., was less a somber national farewell and more a grotesque celebration for the treasonous establishment that has ruled America for decades. The cathedral pews overflowed with the very architects and enablers of endless wars, pandemic tyranny, election interference, and open-borders betrayal: Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, George W. Bush, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Adam Schiff, and the rest of the permanent ruling class—all grinning, hugging, and toasting one of their own. It looked like a holiday party for the Deep State, a who’s-who of the people who sold out the country while pretending to defend it. Flags flew at half-staff by mandate, but the mood inside was triumphant: they were celebrating the fact that their club remains intact.

That’s exactly how you know Trump is the good guy. The same pedophile who blackmailed half of Washington hated him. The same warmongers, liars, and swamp creatures who gathered yesterday to congratulate themselves made sure Trump and JD Vance were explicitly not invited to their macabre reunion. When the worst people on earth all hate one man with a burning passion, when they bar him from their rituals and celebrate his exclusion, it only proves he’s the one standing in their way. The enemy of your enemy is not always a friend—but when your enemy is Jeffrey Epstein and the entire treasonous ruling class, their hatred is the highest badge of honor a man can wear.
