Fact Check: "The interesting thing about animals migrating normally in and out of Yellowstone is that Trump is in the Epstein files"

What We Know

The claim combines two unrelated topics: animal migration in Yellowstone National Park and Donald Trump's alleged connection to the Epstein files.

  1. Animal Migration: The National Park Service (NPS) has clarified that wildlife is not migrating out of Yellowstone in large numbers, despite viral videos suggesting otherwise. According to the NPS, these videos are misleading and often AI-generated or satirical. Linda Veress, a spokesperson for the NPS, stated, "Wildlife is not leaving Yellowstone National Park in large numbers" (source-2). Bill Hamilton, a wildlife biologist, explained that while there are natural ebbs and flows of wildlife, significant migrations typically occur in winter, not summer (source-3).

  2. Trump and Epstein Files: The connection between Donald Trump and the Epstein files is largely speculative and lacks concrete evidence. While there have been ongoing discussions and investigations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, Trump's involvement remains unsubstantiated. Reports indicate that there are calls for the release of Epstein-related documents, but Trump's specific connection to these files is not established (source-1, source-5).

Analysis

The claim presents a confusing juxtaposition of two unrelated subjects, leading to a misleading narrative.

  • Source Reliability: The sources discussing animal migration are credible, including the National Park Service and established news outlets like ABC News and Yahoo News. They provide factual information backed by expert opinions, making them reliable for understanding wildlife behavior in Yellowstone. The NPS's statement directly addresses misinformation circulating on social media, reinforcing its credibility (source-2, source-3).

  • Trump and Epstein: The sources discussing Trump’s connection to the Epstein files are less definitive. While they report on ongoing investigations and public interest, they do not provide direct evidence linking Trump to Epstein's activities or the files in question. This indicates a level of speculation rather than established fact (source-1, source-5).

Overall, the claim lacks coherence and relies on a false premise that combines unrelated topics, which diminishes its validity.

Conclusion

The claim that "the interesting thing about animals migrating normally in and out of Yellowstone is that Trump is in the Epstein files" is False. The assertion conflates two unrelated issues—animal migration patterns and Donald Trump's alleged connections to the Epstein files—without providing credible evidence for either. The information regarding wildlife migration is clear and supported by authoritative sources, while the claims about Trump remain speculative and unverified.

Fact Check: I wonder how loud it’ll get if Trump could pull this off. It will be interesting. President Trump is asking everyone to share this, in three days, most people in the United States will have seen the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them. 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!). 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits and treat them like a regular citizen! You will need to copy and paste it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 I AGREE!

Fact Check: Donald Trump promised "no tax on tips" during his campaign, and his "big, beautiful bill" actually followed through on that promise until you read the fine print. While Trump is out bragging about no longer having tax on tipped wages, the REAL language of the bill shows that only the first $25,000 of tipped wages are eligible as a "deduction, not a complete reduction on taxes. The whole thing was a scam from the beginning.

Fact Check: Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein. wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ. how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ. so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times. The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump. oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work? does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you. we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’ you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls. it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is. let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time: ‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’
