Democrats adopting a popular TikTok fad to satirize Trump's friendship with Epstein
In a surprising turn of events, a TikTok video featuring Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has gone viral, amassing over 6.2 million views and 1.6 million likes. The Democratic Party TikTok account (@democrats) shared the clip, using a popular TikTok sound from the movie The Boss Baby that has become a trend for sharing close friendships and hyperfixations.
The video, captioned with "In 4k 📸" and a camera emoji, highlights the number of times Trump and Epstein were photographed together, showcasing six images in total. These include Epstein attending Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, Trump and Epstein at the 1993 opening of the Harley-Davidson Cafe, and footage of them chatting at the 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
Trump's comments about Epstein have been making headlines recently. On Air Force One on his way back from a five-day holiday in Scotland, Trump claimed that Epstein "stole" Virginia Giuffre and other young women from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. However, Trump also stated that he told Epstein not to take people who work for him from his resort, and Epstein complied.
The video's popularity has led to numerous comments expressing surprise and praise for the content. One comment said, "Whoever runs this account needs to get a raise," while another asked, "WHO ON GODS GREEN EARTH RUNS THIS ACCOUNT?" Some comments have been critical of Trump, with one stating, "Trump digging himself an even bigger hole."
Elsewhere, Trump denies being behind Colbert's firing. It is essential to note that some images circulating online are AI-generated fake content and should not be counted as authentic.
This renewed focus on Trump's relationship with Epstein comes at a time when the latter's actions continue to be under scrutiny. Epstein, who died in a prison cell in 2019, was a convicted sex offender and faced numerous allegations of sexual assault and trafficking.
