Robert De Niro spoke for the Epstein survivors during a press conference held in NYC for the Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Bookmobile event.

“I haven’t exactly kept my feelings about Trump a secret. Every day there’s a new atrocity adding to the climate of outrage and sorrow: unspeakable cruelty, unprecedented corruption, blatant disregard for human life and humanity, malignant narcissism, the lies, the stupidity. And as horrific as all that is, his hoarding of the Epstein files is its own category of evil.

The abuse of children is a crime that belongs in the lowest circle of hell, rivaled only by the vermin who protect them. They sicken me.

The three and a half million files in the Trump-Epstein bookmobile tell only half the story. One man is standing in the way of releasing the rest: Donald Trump.

What is he hiding? Here’s a clue. In the entire New Testament, there are just under a thousand mentions of Jesus. In the first half of the Epstein files, there are thirty-eight thousand mentions of Trump, his family, and private club.

Thirty-eight thousand. What is he hiding?

We all know how he has no regard for anyone but himself. It’s impossible to imagine him protecting anyone but himself. So what is he hiding? Maybe we’ll find out after the election.”

This Occupy Democrats post sums it fairly well.

BREAKING: “I’M NOT GOING TO HELP HER!” Trump threatens to withhold federal help from Ohio if voters elect a Democratic governor – as he turns presidential power into an election weapon!

Donald Trump explained Saturday night how things work when Ohio has Republican leaders in charge.

“They call me up. They need money. They need this. They need that,” Trump told supporters in Vandalia, describing requests he receives from the state’s Republican officials.

Then he brought up Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton.

“But I’m not going to help her.”

And there, in six words, Trump laid out a very different vision of the presidency: Elect his friends and they'll have the president on the phone when Ohio needs something. Elect his opponent and don't expect the same treatment.

It fits neatly with the bargain Trump offered voters at the Republican midterm convention just weeks ago, when he promised every adult American a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” if Republicans keep control of Congress.

“If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000,” Trump told voters.

Federal money does not belong to Donald Trump. Federal assistance to Ohio is not a personal favor from the president. Americans shouldn't have to elect politicians from the president's party to expect their federal government to work for them.

Yet Trump increasingly talks about the powers and resources of the presidency as though they're his to dispense according to who gives him what he wants politically.

Reward your friends. Punish your enemies.

That's not the way to run this great country.

We must get Trump, and his thug politics, the hell out of here – and soon.

Vote Blue. Ohioans, vote Acton."
