In an audacious display that could rival the most elaborate Hollywood script, the mainstream media has once again taken to the stage in an apparent attempt to sabotage former President Donald Trump’s bid for a second term. Just as the proverbial clock struck near election time, a tale surfaced, allegedly involving Trump, groping, and a decade-old acquaintance, all tied together with a neat bow featuring the name Jeffrey Epstein. It seems the left might have a new party line: if you can’t beat Trump at the ballot box, just throw a questionable scandal into the mix.
The saga began with Stacey Williams, a former fashion model, who emerged from the shadows after 31 long years to accuse Trump of groping her during a private party supposedly hosted by Epstein. Reportedly occurring in the pristine, high-rent district of Trump Tower, the incident was said to feature all the drama typical of a reality television show gone awry. Williams, who appears to have taken a ride on the memory train a little too far, painted a picture of a fateful encounter that’s as sticky as the gum on the soles of her very high heels.
The failed October surprise is out. @TheAtlantic (which endorsed Kamala) published an article claiming outrageous and unverifiable claims about trump. Their source? Trust me bro.

What’s fascinating—yet not particularly surprising—is how the timeline of these allegations hilariously contradicts itself. Allegedly, during a stroll down Fifth Avenue in 1993, Epstein suggested a pit stop at Trump’s swanky skyscraper. However, diligent online detectives uncovered a nugget of information that could only raise eyebrows. This little secret from the past—that Epstein didn’t even own the brownstone in question until 1996—sure makes one wonder if Williams was just pulling dates out of a hat rather than relying on solid memories.
As if the plot needed any further thickening, Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, met the claims with the ferocity of an Old West gunslinger. She firmly rejected the narrative, labeling it as a last-minute concoction from the Kamala Harris campaign, designed to ensnare Trump just before the election. It’s a classic play from the left’s playbook: manufacture a scandal in a bid to undercut a leading candidate. Though it’s hard not to chuckle at this absurdity, the unfortunate reality is that the media still seeks to weaponize every scrap of information in a concerted effort to take down a political figure they seem to find continuously bothersome.
Meanwhile, the left’s hopes for a scandalous outcome were high, but those dreams may just fizzle much like the Access Hollywood revelations of 2016. In that instance, Trump shrugged it off as “locker room talk,” and to everyone’s shock, he emerged with his candidacy intact. Fast forward to today, and with the walls of the Harris campaign closing in around the controversy, one has to wonder if this latest effort will carry the same weight. With a Wall Street Journal poll hinting at Trump’s slender lead over Harris, the narrative of the left seems not only desperate but also a bit laughable at this juncture.
Only time will tell whether this flimsy operations to discredit Trump will stick, but one thing is for sure: Americans aren’t buying into half-baked stories conjured by nameless sources. As the election looms, it appears that while the left may try, they have quite a distance left to travel before they can knock Trump off his game.
