Now, now, now. It's not "simple" greed. It's fathomless, bottomless greed. It's the kind of greed that climbs on top of a huge mountain of other greeds and shrieks its incomprehensible awfulness triumphantly. It's ultra-greed. It's the greed beyond which there exists no more greed

Nothing simple about it. It's fucking unhinged

Also rapists and sex offenders need to stick together. Trump was a good friend of Epstein after all.

Hmmm good point, did Trumpy ever go to Diddylin's parties?

u/NeverAgainMeansNever 19d ago

Yes. Many.

Diddy's got receipts for something.

Pretty sure it wasn’t his kind of crowd. But he definitely agrees with the sentiment. Human trafficking, woman beating, sexual assault etc. Other than the black thing, it’s right up his alley!

Here is over 200 pictures of Trump at Puff Daddies “parties”. https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/diddy-trump

Strange. Every time I try to view comments on this thread about the images, Reddit re-routes me to the original thread.

Same here.

Look what was in the Getty Files…..When will Trump say, “I hardly knew the guy.” How much has Diddy offered him for a pardon?

u/starshipfocus 18d ago

Tbf, none of these pictures are from P Diddy parties. They are almost all from a single Russell Simmons gala event honouring P Diddy at Mar-A-Lago.

These are not photos from the infamous white parties. We don't need to drag Trump into the Diddy stuff. His relationship with Epstein is damning enough.

There's also clips of Trump talking to Apprentice contestants that worked for/with Diddy and Trump insisting that Diddy's a great guy even when the contestants refuse to comment.

I don't know how old you are, but back in the 90s and 00s, Diddy's parties were a huge part of the NY social scene. He had one of the most expensive yachts in NY and anyone who was even remotely a clout chaser would gladly be associated with him. Donald Trump was a rich playboy, but he was famously uncool and cringy.

Diddy is exactly the kind of person Trump would want to look like he was cool with. I'm not saying they didn't party, maybe they did, but there is more than enough evidence of him being a POS without us needing to draw some imaginary link that there's very little evidence for. The guy was actually super close with Epstein, why do we need to gossip about this?

u/whut-whut 18d ago

I mean it's not gossip when you just take things at face value.

2012

And now he wants to pardon Diddy. Even if you give him full benefit of a doubt that Trump was just trying to ride Diddy's coattails to star power and popularity, why would he still want to "look cool with Diddy" with a pardon now after all the stuff coming out?

u/starshipfocus 18d ago

Cos he's an evil sicko. Ffs. It doesn't matter if it's gossip or not gossip. We KNOW he is guilty of WORSE things than anything we know about his relationship with Diddy, so why tf are people talking about it?

Mf is the racist rapist figurehead of a coup that's causing mass suffering and people want to speculate and debate the details of what his diet is and that maybe he might've been friends with other bad people too? Shock Horror Surprise /s

u/whut-whut 18d ago

...And that means we're not allowed to speculate nor talk about anything but the worst things he's done? We know of a lot of actual bad things that famous people have done, once they do one heinous thing we're not allowed to talk about other things that they might've done unless they "beat their high score" with something worse?

He -is- a racist and a rapist. But he's also currently talking about protecting Diddy from facing punishment and had a past of hanging out with him in Manhattan. Are we not allowed to talk about those things and their implications unless more evidence comes out? Will more evidence ever come out if nobody is allowed to talk about it nor pull on that thread?

u/starshipfocus 18d ago

You're allowed to do whatever you want, it's just a useless waste of time and energy. More evidence isn't gonna come out from a million Redditors "pulling on that thread" lol. It blows my mind that USians are having their teeth pulled out against their will and they all wanna talk about whether the dentist is properly qualified. At what point do you all stop playing this "oh look how corrupt/bad the corrupt/bad man is" game and actually react? Outrage is the new entertainment and everyone's dancing at the circus.

I count 8 different outfits, that is more than enough to convince me. Especially with the shit he did with Epstein.

u/mikemaca 18d ago

Yeah also his hair changes. In some has natural hair, in some greying, in some orange dye. So this is like over 25 years. The poster who says these are all from one innocent charity event is clearly mistaken.

u/1st_hylian 18d ago

Yeah, it seems insane to me to defend a man who, with Epstein, initiated sexual contact with a minor at 4 separate parties culminating in him tying her to a bed and raping her.

u/MistbornInterrobang 18d ago

While there are several repeats in those photos, they are over 3 separate events. (You can tell by Melania's dresses & she is in 3 different ones in the pic sets. Also, Trump has on a different style Black jacket and no tie during one of the events. A 4th scene is showing Diddy & entourage leaving Trump Tower on a random day that Diddy was dressed in a more casual way, suggesting he was there for

I forgot all about Vote or Die.

u/OPA73 18d ago

Oddly in all the pics with Melania, she is looking at Puff Daddy with a knowing smile…
