Donald Trump has made clear that he believes ‘shooter’ Cole Allen’s ‘manifesto‘ comments about a “paedophile rapist and traitor” were about him. The slip came as a rattled Trump denied any wrongdoing during a 60 Minutes interview after the event.
Trump: yes, the manifesto was about me…
Trump’s interviewer Norah O’Donnell asked about Allen’s “stunning” document, which was sent to family members minutes before the incident. She then noted that it said Allen was “no longer willing to permit a paedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands in his crimes”.
Trump lashed out, claiming he was being asked this because the 60 Minutes crew are “horrible people”. But, as O’Donnell pointed out, he had immediately assumed the “paedophile rapist and traitor” in the comment was him. Cue more tantrums and denial:
Trump even claimed he had been “totally exonerated”. Not quite. He appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, even though his Department of Justice has released only two percent of them, in heavily redacted form. And he is accused in those files, among other things, of raping and beating at least one thirteen-year-old child and watching as the same or another thirteen-year-old’s baby was dumped in a lake.
Jean Carroll also won almost $90m in damages from the president in a civil case after she accused him of sexual assault. Although the case did not prove rape according to New York State’s narrow definition of penetrative sex, appeal judge Lewis A Kaplan said that the allegation of rape was “substantially true” and Trump’s appeal argument was “entirely unpersuasive“. “Totally exonerated”? Right.
Even CBS, now owned and run by pro-Trump fanatical Israel supporters, can rattle Trump into such telling give-aways.

It’s quite bizarre that perhaps the one offence of which Trump is not guilty – sexual assault of a prepubescent child – is the one that garners the most hatred, condemnation and, here, a foolishly misguided assassination attempt. While the statement issued by Allen indicates that he was deeply opposed to the actions of the Trump regime, the course he took serves no progressive purpose. Long historical experience has demonstrated that individual attacks on one or another leader play into the hands of political reaction. In this case, it provides an opportunity for Trump to escalate attacks on democratic rights.
Hopefully the Republicans will get slaughtered in the USA Primaries & if the Democrats control both The House of Representatives & The Senate then the field is open to Impeach Trump & to lock him & others up for life for Epstein etc.
The best bet for the the USA is the likes of Democratic Socialists like New York’s Mamdani though would need a rule change so he could stand for President.
Oh and Trump’s ICE force has murdered 9 Black & White Americans to date.
The world would be better served if Trump is removed from office legally rather than being shot or dying of natural causes while in office. Obviously, if he allows free and fair elections in the midterms he’s going to lose heavily and that helps me sleep at night.
