Best Friends In Infamy: The Statue Of Trump And Epstein, And The Art That Won’t Be Silenced - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Best Friends in Infamy explores the Trump and Epstein statue, a protest artwork the government tried to silence but couldn’t. In 2002, Donald Trump gave a quote that today lands like a grenade. Speaking to New York Magazine about Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” At the time, it read like another breezy Trumpism—cocky, careless, sprinkled with his usual mix of bragging and boundary-pushing. But reread it in the shadow of Epstein’s crimes, and it stops being harmless banter. It becomes evidence. It becomes the sort of line prosecutors circle in red ink.

In Mein Kampf & Trump, Author Argues Jeffrey Epstein Is a Product of Trump’s America " | " Fedlan News : In Mein Kampf & Trump, the author argues that Jeffrey Epstein is a product of Trump’s America, exploring the troubling connection between the two. Mein Kampf & Trump  is not a book that offers comfort. It offers confrontation. It asks us to look beyond headlines and hashtags and consider the deeper implications of a political movement that blurs the line between justice and favoritism, between spectacle and governance. Jeffrey Epstein may be gone, but his shadow lingers. Not just because of his crimes, but because of the system that allowed him to flourish—a system that  Mein Kampf & Trump  argues is still very much alive. It is a book that dares to ask: What happens when power no longer serves the people, but only the performance? The answer, it seems, is the America we’re already living in. Yahoo is now ranking Mein Kampf & Trump: A Dangerous Rese...

Jurors Gripped by Fear. Is it a Former President or a Mob Boss in the Dock? By Mary Jones | Wednesday , May 29, 2024 | 5 min read Former FBI director likens President Donald Trump to a mafia boss Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan has been marked by his vocal dissatisfaction with various aspects of the proceedings. He has expressed grievances about: the Judge, prosecutors, their relatives, witnesses, the jurors and the Media. These criticisms are part of a broader strategy by Trump to cast doubt on the fairness and legitimacy of the trial, a tactic he has used in various legal and political contexts. Donald Trump's trial is historic as it marks the first criminal case against a former U.S. president. The charges stem from allegations that he fraudulently covered up pre-election hush money payments to Stormy Daniels in 2016 to keep voters unaware of their alleged affair. This case has drawn parallels to prosecutions of organized crime figures due to the nature of the all...

By Tony Bruce | Saturday , May 25, 2024 | 3 min read The situation involving former President Donald Trump and his recent comments about the FBI's use of "deadly force" language in the Mar-a-Lago search affidavit highlights a notable inconsistency in his stance on law enforcement practices.

However, in a recent turn of events, Trump has criticized the inclusion of "deadly force" language in an FBI document related to the search of his Mar-a-Lago estate. This...
