politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein because 'he stole people who worked for me'English
21·1 year agoHe’s not actually saying that though, that’s CNBCs spin on it.
The quote is:
“He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again,” Trump said.
Epstein then became “persona non grata,” Trump said.
“I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth,” he said.

90·1 year ago“Her lawyer said that the sit-downs this week were Maxwell’s first opportunity to answer questions about what happened.”
I’m pretty sure that she was questioned by investigators during multiple investigations into Epstein over the years, including her own trial that sent her to jail.
Well it’s low effort and loses a lot of nuance in the way it draws its maps, so there is that
Hm, I’m not sure about that. There was a point in time where he was - even outside his videos - engaging with Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk. Echoing their philosophies and world views. The alt-right was using him and his platform to lure teenagers in. It’s possible that Felix did not even realize what was happening there. Or he was brainwashed himself for some time.
The important thing is that from 2019 onwards he clearly distanced himself from any of that.
He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.
Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.
Yeah I know some big german youtubers who years ago were like “we need to be more independent from youtube” and set up their own website. Every year the costs for hosting that would take out a huge cut of their earnings, so at the start of 2025 they finally gave up and said they couldnt pour even more money into that project as it simply wasnt profitable.
The big youtubers rely on sponsorship money way more than ad money. But sponsorship money is dependent on viewership numbers, so that is the main issue



Arnie definitely has a personal problem with things like Trump’s climate policy, his anti-immigrant policy and some other stuff. He has no problem with gerrymandering to favour the GOP though apparently, and still won’t go on record against the GOP - only against Trump personally.
