Recently, Donald Trump’s campaign traveled to Montana, Wyoming and Colorado using the plane that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein, the discredited financier convicted of serious sex crimes against underage girls, now deceased.

Trump encountered mechanical problems with his Trump Force One plane, forcing his campaign to seek an alternative for his recent travels.

They turned to Private Jet Services Group, a supplier regularly used by Trump, who provided them with a Gulfstream G-550… social network users identified a link between the Gulfstream Jet’s serial number, N550GP, and Jeffrey Epstein, using information from the Federal Aviation Administration’s public registry.

Jeffrey Epstein reportedly last used this aircraft in 2019, when he was arrested on July 6, 2019 by the FBI at Teterboro Airport, New Jersey, on sex trafficking charges.

It should be clarified that the Gulfstream G-550 is not Epstein’s infamous Lolita Express, which was allegedly used by Epstein to transport girls under 18 to various destinations and was at the center of Epstein’s sex-trafficking charges, but another of the infamous billionaire’s personal aircraft.

Following these revelations, a campaign official indicated that Trump’s team was unaware that Epstein was the plane’s former owner and only learned of his past after being contacted by journalists for comment.

The plane has since reportedly changed ownership twice.

Let’s not forget that this coincidence once again revives memories of the visibly close past ties between Epstein and Trump, in any case certainly closer than the former president is willing to admit.

Trump had even praised Epstein in the past, calling him a “great guy”, as they lived close to each other in Florida.

According to the Washington Post, the two frequented the same parties in Mar-a-Lago and Manhattan, before a dispute over a Palm Beach property cooled their relationship.

The OceanGate Titan saga, marked by the catastrophic accident that led to the destruction of a tourist submarine and the death of its passengers during an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic, continues with the announcement that the family of French explorer Paul Henri Nargeolet, who perished in the incident, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, seeking $50 million in damages.

Paul-Henri Nargeolet was one of five passengers aboard the Titan when, on June 18, 2023, a sudden interruption in communications signaled his disappearance.

This triggered one of the largest maritime search operations ever undertaken, lasting several days.

Unfortunately, it was later established that the submersible had suffered a massive pressure drop, causing it to implode and resulting in the death of all its passengers.

Right from the start of the search operations, the quality of the Titan’s design was called into question, not least because the designer boasted of having deviated from the strict standards imposed by the industry for the construction of craft capable of withstanding the high pressures of the seabed.

Among other things, he had chosen to use carbon fiber to build the Titan’s hull, rather than titanium.

Many pointed to carbon fiber as one of the main factors contributing to the aircraft’s implosion.

In addition, they pointed out that the Titan was controlled by a simple Logitech gamepad, similar to those used for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, and that using such a controller in such a hostile environment represented another questionable design choice.

In a lawsuit filed by the family in King County, Washington, the plaintiffs claim that carbon fiber can break under stress, unlike titanium, which is strengthened by repeated pressure.

According to the lawsuit, the Titan’s crew was aware of the gravity of the situation, as the craft dropped weights in a desperate attempt to halt its descent some 3,500 meters below the Titanic’s level.

A system designed to detect the cracking of carbon fiber under stress would have alerted crew members to the impending failure of the ship, most likely causing terror and mental anguish prior to implosion, according to the lawsuit.

So this case is far from over.

In addition to the $50 million lawsuit filed by the family of one of the victims, an in-depth investigation into the circumstances of the disaster is still underway.

In addition, a public hearing is scheduled for next September.

In an interview with CBS News, former President Donald Trump vigorously denied suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), despite reports, including from Vanity Fair, suggesting that he would watch a 7-second video of his assassination attempt on repeat, which many experts believe could indicate signs of trouble.

On the other hand, some of those close to him point to his many erratic comments and behaviors as either a manifestation of his PTSD, or an attempt to self-sabotage his election campaign in protest at Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

Trump tells CBC News that rather than suffering from PTSD, he is convinced that God has preserved him because he wants Trump to save the country, if not the world.

Republican donors and Donald Trump campaign officials are struggling to understand why the former president seems to be sabotaging his own candidacy: “It’s like he’s choosing to lose.”@gabrielsherman reports: https://t.co/2zXK9f9r7e

It’s nothing new that Trump sees himself as chosen by God to save the world; indeed, this has been a major aspect for proponents of the QAnon theory for several years.

But while donors and members of the Republican Party encourage Trump to focus on his political agenda rather than engage in conspiracy theories or racial forwards, particularly against his rival Kamala Harris.

Instead, some believe he’s adopting these recent bizarre behaviors to sabotage his own campaign, suggesting he wouldn’t be able to respond effectively to Joe Biden’s official withdrawal.

According to some, Trump would feel cheated by Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 campaign. He would be in emotional mourning over his rival’s absence and would find it difficult to regain control of the situation, which had developed unexpectedly.

Instead, some people attribute the 78-year-old former president’s strange behavior to old age, including former Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

Megyn Kelly: Trump’s "rambling" is boring and probably "age-related" https://t.co/1VGJ0R5wqA

In her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, she recently asserted that Trump’s recent interview with Elon Musk revealed a Trump who had become boring and aged.

Kelly even believes that if Trump is angry with her, it’s mostly because she’s been raising the former president’s aging issues for a long time.

Many people find it increasingly difficult to follow Trump’s reasoning, not least because he quickly loses track of his ideas, repeats himself with the same old rhetoric, shares fake AI-generated images pretending they’re authentic… which seems an inevitable sign of old age… or that something more serious might be at play.

Recall that his father, Fred Trump Sr. was diagnosed late in life with mild senile dementia.

Although the symptoms currently observed in the former president are different from those of his father, it is possible that this is linked to genetic predisposition.

Does anyone know what Donald Trump is talking about anymore? https://t.co/hETyGh5vCC

Whether it’s due to old age, self-sabotage or PTSD, there’s clearly something wrong with Donald Trump.
