This week on The Enemies List, the spotlight is on Donald Trump — the 45th and 47th President — notorious for his petty offenses and destructive impact on the country.
Trump revealed his true nature in a viral clip about Virginia Guiffre, an Epstein and Maxwell survivor who tragically died by suicide in April. Trump’s comments make clear he saw Guiffre as his “property,” admitting he knew she was trafficked while showing no concern for her wellbeing. He claimed Epstein “stole” her from him, exposing his deep and disturbing ties to these traffickers.
Despite publicly distancing himself, Trump remained friendly with Epstein for years, attending events together and never alerting authorities or Guiffre’s family. Virginia Guiffre’s story underscores the horror of Epstein and Maxwell’s trafficking network. Maxwell, with her charismatic facade, groomed countless young girls who were too young to understand their exploitation. Trump’s refusal to act or protect these vulnerable victims reveals a profound moral failure. If Maxwell is pardoned, it would send a chilling message that sex-trafficking of minors is tolerable in Trump’s world — a devastating blow to survivors and justice.
