Donald Trump has left people horrified after making an incendiary post about the Epstein Files online.
The president is known for his rambling and stream of consciousness style of posting on social media, but his latest outpouring as more information from Jeffrey Epstein's estate is made public has rendered some stunned.
Convicted pedophile Epstein was known for his connections to rich and powerful people, using his network as a shield as he operated a sex trafficking operation which targeted underage girls.
Trump is among the many famous people whose history of associating with Epstein is now coming to light, along with former US president Bill Clinton, though neither Trump nor Clinton has been charged with any crime in connected with their association with Epstein.

The US president took to his social media platform Truth Social with a tirade in which he accused the Democrats of associating with Epstein.
He wrote: "Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc.
"The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country!"
In a shocking statement, Trump then branded the ongoing scandals around Epstein and his network a 'witch hunt' aimed at discrediting him and the Republican party.
"The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein - Just another Witch Hunt!!!" he wrote.
Unsurprisingly, many people had a strong reaction to the post, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts.
One pointed out an apparent contradiction in how Trump was approaching the issue.
Another took a more humorous approach the president's tirade, joking: "He's surpassed doubletalk and is now engaged in triple or quadrupletalk."
One person's reaction was more visceral, with them posting simply: "What. The. Actual. Fuck."
Trump's post was just one of many that he made on Truth Social over the Christmas period, including others on Epstein.
In a separate post, Trump wrote: "Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein...only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so."
