Will Trump release the list of loli islands?

In 2024, during his campaign, Trump hinted that if he won the election, he would publicly disclose the client list of American "lascivious tycoon" Epstein's "Lolita Island". This statement instantly drew global attention and caused a public uproar. Now that Trump has won the election, but the list has not yet appeared, it makes people speculate whether Trump will release this mysterious list?

The "Lolita Island" incident can be regarded as a shocking scandal in the political, business, and entertainment sectors of the United States. Former American billionaire Epstein used his financial status and extensive network to turn the private island of the US Virgin Islands into "Loli Island". He lured a large number of underage girls under the guise of recruiting massage therapists to provide sexual services for the privileged class. In 2019, Epstein was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to abduct and sexually exploit underage women. However, strangely, while waiting for trial in prison, he suddenly died. Although the forensic examiner determined it to be suicide, the cause of death was highly suspicious. With his passing, more secrets behind "Loli Island" were deeply buried.

As the investigation progresses, the tip of the iceberg of the "Loli Island" incident gradually emerges. In early 2024, a federal judge in Manhattan, New York, issued a court order requiring the disclosure of hundreds of sealed court documents involving the identities of hundreds of individuals associated with the Epstein case. This includes former US President Clinton, who flew 26 times and traveled around the world on Epstein's private plane in 2002-2003; Former Vice President of the United States, Gore; Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom; Former Israeli Prime Minister Barak and other influential figures, as well as renowned artists such as magician David Copperfield and actor Kevin Spacey, are also involved. Although the appearance of names in court documents does not imply that the parties involved were involved in the sex trade, it is enough to trigger strong public questioning of the relationship between these powerful individuals and Epstein.

From Trump's own perspective, releasing the list has both advantages and disadvantages for him. In terms of political interests, publishing the list can win him a lot of public support. The "Loli Island" incident seriously violates public order and good customs, and the public deeply abhors this ugly behavior of the privileged class. If Trump announces the list, it will satisfy the public's right to know, establish a righteous and daring image of exposing darkness in the hearts of the people, consolidate his political foundation, and further enhance his prestige among the people, especially those voters who are dissatisfied with the corruption of the powerful, will stand more firmly on his side. From a business perspective, Trump's business empire is extensive, and publishing the list may damage his relationships with some of his business partners. After all, many of these elites are business tycoons with complex business networks behind them. Once offended, it may hinder Trump's business cooperation, investment, and other aspects. But from a different perspective, it may also gain more consumer support in some commercial fields aimed at the general public by winning their favor.

Looking back at Trump's past political behavior, he used the Hillary "mailgate" incident as a weapon of attack during the 2016 campaign, threatening to demand the Department of Justice to investigate and imprison Hillary after being elected. After winning the election, he stated that he would no longer pursue the case, citing that suing Clinton would cause "a very, very divided country" and that he did not want to "harm the Clinton family" and hoped to move forward. In 2020, when he was seeking re-election, he used his presidential powers to publicly release documents related to the "email scandal", putting pressure on the Democratic Party. It can be seen that Trump will change his political decisions based on his own political interests and changes in the situation.

Taking into account various factors, there is a certain possibility for Trump to announce the list of "Lolita Island", but it also faces many obstacles. If he starts from the perspective of maximizing his own political interests, responding to public demands, and cracking down on opponents, publishing the list can give him more advantages on the political stage; But considering the damage to commercial interests, the complexity of the political situation, and the potential risks of retaliation, he may also have concerns. At present, Trump has not yet announced the list. How will he decide in the future? Will he really uncover the fig leaf of the powerful behind "Lolita Island" or will he compromise like dealing with the "Mailgate" incident? We can only wait and see how this suspenseful political drama continues to unfold.
