Trump views any association with 'loser' Epstein as 'off-brand' amid escalating crisis, claims insider
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: As public focus intensifies around Donald Trump’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein, a Trump insider has dismissed any lingering ties, saying the president no longer wants to be connected to someone widely viewed as a societal “loser.”
The comment underscores the 79-year-old's long-running efforts to safeguard his personal brand as he navigates legal and reputational challenges.
Jeffrey Epstein is 'off-brand' for Donald Trump
The Trump insider emphasized how Jeffrey Epstein, in the POTUS' view, damages the image he has crafted over decades. “Epstein will forever be a loser in people’s minds, and Donald Trump doesn’t hang out with losers,” the insider stated to Fortune, adding that continued association would be “off-brand.”
Trump has always marketed himself as a winner, a principle that influences both personal and political decisions.
The president recently filed a $10 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, The Wall Street Journal, and other parties, disputing reports that he contributed to a controversial birthday tribute to Epstein in 2003. Trump denies writing or submitting anything for the album and is taking aggressive legal action to counter what he sees as damaging misinformation.
Donald Trump frustrated over Jeffrey Epstein fallout
As scrutiny around Jeffrey Epstein resurges, Donald Trump has privately voiced concern that the situation could damage his public image, regardless of his actual involvement.
According to a GOP insider, the MAGA leader has expressed frustration behind the scenes, saying, “They’re going to f**k me anyways,” suggesting he feels unfairly targeted and anticipates being implicated by association.
The comment, reportedly made in a closed-door setting, underscores the tension Trump feels as political pressure mounts and media coverage of Epstein intensifies.
Despite publicly attempting to dismiss the renewed interest in Epstein as old news, Trump’s inner circle appears increasingly aware that the scandal still holds political potency. The release of official memos ruling out foul play in Epstein’s death hasn’t quieted speculation.
Donald Trump's team dismisses claim Pam Bondi told him that his name appeared in Jeffrey Epstein files
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Donald Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The report contradicts Trump’s previous statement, in which he claimed Bondi had provided “just a very quick briefing” and made no mention of the Epstein files.
Trump’s team has dismissed the claims as “fake news.” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement, "The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about."
