These Are the Best 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' Jokes For Trump's Epstein Controversy

Right now, the entire American media is talking about a beauty pageant proprietor who is desperately attempting to silence allegations against him concerning some possible sexual impropriety. Perhaps Donald Trump could calm the storm with a song?

In an age when government agencies communicate with the public through Twitter memes and shitposts, it’s fitting that the most nagging scandal of Trump’s second term as President should be treated with all the sensitivity and tact that the Department of Homeland Security uses for their pro-deportation propaganda. This week, emails from the FBI’s files on deceased pedophile and human trafficking kingpin Jeffrey Epstein seemed to suggest even closer ties between Epstein and Trump than previously confirmed, as they indicated that Trump supposedly spent hours at Epstein’s house with one of the predator’s victims.

While the Republican Party desperately attempts to block the release of other critical files in the Epstein case before even more incriminating evidence could potentially come out against the President, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit are rife with jokes mocking the piss-poor defense that Trump’s allies are putting up on his behalf.

After all, blocking the release of pedophile investigation files on the grounds that they could be damaging to the President comes with a pretty dark implication.

The above video hit the front page of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia subreddit yesterday under the title, "Reposting this today for no particular reason." Sensing that there may, in fact, be a reason behind bringing up the most iconic scene from the Season 7 classic “Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties,” the fans in the forum offered up their own references from Always Sunny to fit the mood.

One Always Sunny watcher brought up Frank's line of “We got to shred a bunch of documents” from the Season 15 episode “The Gang Goes to Ireland” – which, fittingly, is the episode when we learned that Frank was a frequent visitor of Epstein's Little Saint James island, but not for the alleged reasons that Trump may have been a guest there. 

“'Move past it' ... I'm afraid I can't move past this,” another Always Sunny fan wrote of the White House's evasive response to the Epstein file scandal, which has echoes of the Gang's equally unconvincing approach to ending their feuds in the Season 9 episode “The Gang Squashes Their Beefs.”

Others, however, argued that comparing Frank's connections to Epstein, his suspicious behavior as the owner of a beauty pageant and his long history of lecherous behavior to Trump's own alleged misdeeds is not a fair one – after all, Frank was telling the truth when he sang about how he doesn't diddle kids.
