        because they’re special

        And because they’ve seen it work literally thousands of times with cunts like trump.

      He probably thought they would never release them no matter what he says publicly and if they did he could just lie his way out of it like he always does. This strategy of doing awful things but selling them as genius moves of a philanthropist has served him very well in the past.

      No, he just told us his motivation. They are a distraction, therefore he was not talking about them in good faith, but rather to help make the distraction effective.

      Maybe he figured that since he wasn’t actually a part of the cool pedos club he’d be safe? Granted, I don’t think it’s terribly likely since the man clearly has a complex about not being considered cool and would never admit to it, but you never know. Of course, this is ignoring that just trying to get in is pretty damning in its own right.

      Look at the man’s face in the thumbnail. That is one self-loathing motherfucker. The chaos, narcissism, drug addiction, humiliation fetish, and megalomania make his motives difficult to understand. Sometimes they want to get caught, but the desire is fleeting.

      Dude’s thinking 140 characters at a time. Pursuing short-time bragging gains over long-time sustainability makes him the CEO of all time.

    • That didn’t happen.
    • And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    • And if it was, that’s not a big deal
    • And if it is, that’s not my fault.
    • And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    • And if I did, you deserved it.
