Fact check: Did Trump really tell people to get over the fact that some people like having sex with children?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the comprehensive analysis of multiple sources, there is no evidence that Trump told people to get over the fact that some people like having sex with children. All nine sources analyzed consistently fail to support this specific claim ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}.

Instead, the sources reveal a different narrative: Trump has been actively engaged in damage control regarding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Multiple sources report that Trump called the Epstein controversy a "Hoax" and "bulls*"** ^{[1] [2]}. Furthermore, Trump has been criticizing members of his own party who are demanding transparency about the Epstein files, calling them "weaklings" and stating he doesn't want their support anymore ^{[2] [3]}.

The sources also document Trump's broader approach to child-related issues, including his proclamation for National Child Abuse Prevention Month that focused on attacking transgender youth rather than addressing traditional child abuse prevention ^[7], and his administration's cuts to programs serving children across multiple departments ^[8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about the actual Jeffrey Epstein scandal dynamics. Sources reveal that Trump has been in "damage-control mode" regarding the Epstein fallout ^[5], suggesting there are legitimate concerns about his connections to the convicted sex offender that he's attempting to minimize.

Missing from the original question:

• Trump's documented attempts to downplay the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and shift focus away from it ^[5]
• The existence of recordings of Jeffrey Epstein discussing his friendship with Trump, including allegations about Trump's conduct toward women ^[6]
• Trump's criticism of his own supporters who are demanding release of Epstein files ^[3]
• The Trump administration's controversial stance on child protection, including joining a lawsuit against Washington state law requiring clergy to report child abuse ^[9]

Alternative viewpoints that benefit different parties:

• Trump and his political allies benefit from framing Epstein-related inquiries as hoaxes rather than legitimate transparency demands
• Media organizations and political opponents benefit from maintaining focus on Trump's Epstein connections
• Religious organizations benefit from Trump's support of their position against mandatory reporting of child abuse by clergy

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears to contain significant misinformation by attributing a statement to Trump that no credible source supports. This type of false attribution represents a serious form of disinformation that could:

• Distract from legitimate concerns about Trump's actual documented responses to the Epstein scandal
• Undermine credible criticism by mixing it with fabricated claims
• Create confusion about what Trump has actually said regarding child protection issues

The question's framing suggests potential bias by presenting an inflammatory false claim as if it were established fact, rather than asking whether such a statement was ever made. This approach benefits those who wish to either discredit Trump with false information or those who want to dismiss all Epstein-related criticism by pointing to obviously fabricated claims.

The real documented issues - Trump's dismissal of Epstein concerns as hoaxes, his criticism of transparency advocates, and his administration's problematic child protection policies - are overshadowed by this false narrative.
