Trump Urges Supporters To Move On From Societal Disdain For Pedophilia

[milestogo]

Published: July 14, 2025

WASHINGTON—Facing mounting backlash from his MAGA base over his perceived ties to the Jeffrey Epstein case, President Donald Trump reportedly encouraged his supporters Monday to simply move on from society’s widespread disdain for pedophilia. “It’s time to just accept that some people like having sex with kids and focus on the fantastic things we’re doing to win back the respect of the world,” said Trump, who expressed frustration that instead of celebrating the passage of his domestic spending bill or his historic deportation numbers, many of his supporters were getting distracted by “something that people have done since ancient Greece.”

“Are people really still talking about the sexual abuse of children? Let it go! Our administration is making America great again. That’s the story, not whether I or anyone else ‘diddled’ an underage girl! The case is closed. Sometimes kids get molested. Maybe they shouldn’t dress like such sluts!” Trump went on to state that he has had many pedophile friends and associates over the years who have been fine, hardworking Americans.

Satire, kinda.

[Permanut]

1. Black satire_ well done.

[niyad]

2. I had to check the link.

[synni]

6. Me, too.

That's how bad things have gotten.

[slightlv]

10. Me, too... problem is, it sounded so much LIKE something

trump would do, the onion didn't do it enough justice!!!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. I can actually picture dump saying those things

[soldierant]

18. I can't - I can't imagine him knowing enough about ancient Greece to refer to it.

[electric_blue68]

31. Oh, that's funny!

[harumph]

4. "It's time to look forward - not backward."

The Onion is getting it done.

[usonian]

5. I smelled onions right away.

🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Oooooh, that's satire with a cattle prod.
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

They be frying his Cipollini. (Italian for tiny onions) 😅

7. Thought it was something

Trump posted on truth social because it’s plausable. I couldn’t tell it was satire. It was realistic because trump settled out of court a lot of young girls cases.

[Prairie Gates]

8. LOL

Perfection.

[OverBurn]

9. How bad it's got? I read the first paragraph before I figured out it was from the onion.

[chouchou]

11. That God-Damn piece of walking garbage. WTF is next. Rape is fun?

[niyad]

12. Please notice this was The .Onion. One had to check the link.

[chouchou]

13. Boy! That's a "Tell" I truly wasn't that surprised at what he (supposedly) said.

Thank you so much.

[niyad]

24. Like you, and everyone else in this thread, I could easily see him SAYING it

out loud. We know he BELIEVES it.

[dalton99a]

14. Kick

[niyad]

25. Sadly, those are not even the creepiest ones.

[Jack Valentino]

33. He started with his own daughter--- then he moved on, when she got 'too old'

[orleans]

15. ...

[niyad]

26. Exactly.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

29. He

literally has the complexion of an overripe orange. He makes me sick. 🤮🤮

[ancianita]

16. What makes you think the onion is still joking anymore just because it once did?

They're not, for all the reasons Lawrence just laid out about why the felon's DOJ won't have Maxwell be allowed anywhere in the world to speak about the reasons and content of her meetings with the felon, who is on tape saying he met her "a lot of times."

[Chilopsis]

17. Not amused

Before we get too carried away with praise for the Onion's satirical take down, please consider how this piece would impact a parent who lost a child to suicide as a direct consequence of sexual molestation. (pedophilia)

[harumph]

19. I'm not "amused" really either, but I don't think that was the intent anyway.

Depending on one's particular sensitivities this strain of satire is bound to offend. What is so grotesque about this situation is Trump is such
a degenerate human being that we have to do a double take. I think the term(s) that might be applied to this Onion piece is something
somewhere between satire and sardonicism.

[niyad]

27. NOBODY is finding this "amusing", so kindly skip the morality lecture.

We find nothing "amusing" about a piece describing the vocal vomit of a sick, twisted individual that sounds so exactly like something it is plausible for him to spew that we have to check.

[Aussie105]

20. The Onion is now a source of social and political commentary.

They have moved away from pure satire because these days the distinction between reality and satire is kind of vague.
The 'in your face' satire of yesteryear no longer has an impact.

[B.See]

21. Satire sometimes pales in comparison as of late.

[Mossfern]

22. That so many of us

had to check to see if it was satire is truly disturbing.

[Aristus]

23. Satire: Still dead.

n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. This is the second time today that the Onion got me.

[Initech]

30. He may have unlimited get out of jail free cards, but we're not letting him get away with this one!

[Jack Valentino]

32. FAKE 'ONION"--- more likely from the Trump propaganda department...
