And, by "people", he means himself, I guess?

He's the only one who exists to himself all the time
When you envision him as a solipsist, every single decision makes sense. Well that plus a malignant narcissist who squandered a fortune and made a lot of very shady 'friends' along the way.
Trump would have made more money if he just put his inheritance into an index fund, IIRC. Of course all the bribes and frivolous lawsuits companies "settled" may make that no longer a true statement.

Yah, it’s like how he conflates himself with America when he makes fascist statements such as ‘this will destroy America.’
he still working on object permanence he's still a developing boy 👶
I think it's a stretch to call Trump a Person.
It's the same "people" who always seem to be "saying" what he's thinking at any given moment.
Hmmmmmm, has anyone ever explored the idea that trump has skitzophrenia? Maybe he really does think large amounts of people are saying things.
Of coarse, that doesn't make it any better. That just means the president has mental illness, and is the guy in charge of the military and nukes. Which feels even worse than if he were just a narcisist.
Him and the other pedos in the files.
If he was concerned about harming others, this would be the first time in his life. So yes he just admitted that he's in the files and he will be harmed if they're released.

The people who will be hurt by the release of the Epstein files are people we need to hurt.
Exactly, it's the whole point. I don't care who is there, if they were involved they need to be punished.
It's hilarious all the conservatives are like, "but Bill Clinton is in them too!" As if we give a flying fuck if that whole family gets destroyed from the files.
"hurt people" as a reason not to release the files
good. the "people" in this case are child rapist pedophiles. so yes, fucking hurt them.
Let's be honest, there's exactly one person Trump cares about protecting.

lol ... sounds a lot like the evangelical preacher with the million dollar private jet who asked his parishers to give more money to buy a second jet because it would save more people
(I remembered this story from a few years ago and thought it was 'a second jet' ... I was wrong ... the preacher was asking for donations to buy his FOURTH JET!!!)
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44305873
Trump isn't running a country .... he's an evangelical preacher leading a ministry called the United States
Who the hell on Earth needs 4 jets?
Ummmm........a small military? Maybe he wanted to kick it old school, and go back on 1700s era holy cruisades, but with modern firepower!

It does raise a question of just how many jets a single person needs. I, myself, could make do with as few as two, but I have a large family. I'm sure someone who lived a more frugal lifestyle might struggle by with only one? But I don't see anyone needing more than three. It's just so hard to find places to park them all...

I'm sure it would, but lack of accountability hurts everybody
Exactly!
If releasing a list of people who raped children would hurt those people, then I say too fucking bad maybe they need to be hurt a little bit.
If by 'people' we mean rich men who have no regard for other people and feel they are outside the law, then yes, people. Better to call them what they are rich criminal men. Those criminals are the ones they are afraid of hurting not the actual victims of their abuse.

yes, the correct people
That’s the point. Protect the victims. Anyone else, prison. But yeah, that’s the whole point of releasing them. To hurt those that are involved in a human trafficking and pedophile ring.
"They're hurting the wrong people"
So hurting young women is okay, but hurting offender is not. Got it. Get F’d.
Isn't this actually the argument they are making to release Maxwell from prison? That the evidence proves her so guilty that she could not possibly have a fair trial.
"People" meaning him
"Hurt" meaning real consequences for his actions
The kids trump and his friends raped weren't people. /s
.........really hoping you dropped this:
/s
Ah, right my bad - corrected
Yes, that's kind of a big part of it. Wealthy elites did bad things and we want them to hurt because we all hurt and they're getting away with doing bad things.
This is not rocket science...
The people in those files hurt children. Now I know Trump and the GOP don't actually care about children or even really pretend to, but still.

MTG is smarter than we've been giving her credit for.
She bailed out of Congress just after her pension kicked in, and before the midterms.
She'll be a talking head/pundit, sitting on the sidelines as the GOP goes down in flames, and then run in 2028 as the MAGats new hero.
It’s basic math. So, yeah she is able to do basic times tables and that’s way more than I thought she could do

It just got too toxic when she turned on Trump. Pension was coincidence that it was only a couple months away so announce to take the heat off and stick around doing nothing.
Other people already pointed out that she never received a credible threat from Antifa or the LGBTQ+ community. The second she made a move against Trump she saw her life was in danger.

OK, OK... Would you perhaps be willing to elaborate on which specific people maybe?
That's the whole point, isn't it? Exposing criminals and charging them will hurt them in all sorts of ways. Personal responsibility suggests that if you made your own bed then you lie in it. If you get a bunch of "powerful" cohorts doing the same thing it becomes a criminal conspiracy cabal with certain protections built in. I guess they find themselves "tween" a rock and a hard place.
You know, it was just boys being boys. They've got their whole futures ahead of them!

Yes. Those are the people we want to hurt.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Everyone assumes he means himself, but I think this is more of a veiled threat to her safety.
Good.
Make them suffer.
