How to Trump Trump
Greenland and France aren't anyone's doormats, and Donald Trump plays by no rules whatsoever. Here's the sly, underhanded way to corner the bully: pursue the Epstein dossier.
This article summarizes the video below, in French.
Universal jurisdiction: France’s legal middle finger to impunity, the international legal principle that lets French courts hunt down the worst sexual predators across borders, no matter where the crimes happened or who the victims and perps are.
France wields this power especially ruthlessly in two arenas :
Sexual exploitation of minors (articles 225-12-1 et seq. of the Penal Code, plus the extraterritorial provisions that make it bite globally).
Human trafficking, whenever even a sliver of the chain—recruitment, transport, harboring, exploitation, payment—touched French territory or a French national.
The Epstein cesspool fits like a glove. The late Jean-Luc Brunel, that sleazy French modeling kingpin, didn’t just tag along for the ride; he ran a full-fledged franchise of the Epstein sex-trafficking empire. Through agencies like Karin Models and the Epstein-bankrolled MC2, he lured girls—many underage—from France and beyond, shuttled them to the predator’s lairs, supplied them for abuse, and pocketed the perks.
French soil was part of the staging ground: Paris apartments, agency offices, recruitment pipelines. Organized trafficking for sexual exploitation—all squarely within France’s universal-jurisdiction toolkit.
Brunel hanged himself in La Santé prison in February 2022, just like his boss Epstein—convenient timing that neatly snuffed out prosecution against him personally. His suicide slammed no doors on the accomplices, the beneficiaries, the frequent-flyer clients who partook of the network. The French probe, kicked off in 2019 and turbocharged after Brunel’s arrest, targeted the whole rotten ecosystem. As long as French elements are involved, Paris can chase down anyone who touched the operation—American billionaires, British royals, whoever.
France doesn’t need Washington’s permission. It can invoke universal jurisdiction outright for exploitation-of-minors crimes and piggyback the trafficking counts because the chain snaked through French territory and a French national.
The U.S. Congress did ratify the 2000 protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, thereby recognizing the universal jurisdiction of all other signatories to prosecute the sexual exploitation of minors. To make a long story short, if no criminal investigation is launched in the Epstein case, American survivors may file criminal complaints in any other country, which would then have no choice but to prosecute. And America will have no other choice but to cooperate.
So while Trump struts around treating the planet like his personal golf course, threatening to annex Greenland and bullying allies, the Epstein dossier remains his one unhealable wound.
So here’s the killer play: armed with the latest drips from Congress, the DOJ’s grudging releases, and a treasure trove of intelligence stemming from commercial phone geolocation data, France can summon the Epstein ghosts for a very public grilling. Haul in for interviews everyone who rubbed shoulders with that predator—especially the jet-setters who lounged on Little St. James or kicked back at his New Mexico ranch—and slap their names on a list for the world to gawk at.
No hiding behind redacted blackouts or presidential stonewalling.
The fallout? Nuclear. Picture this: Trump’s camarilla of American oligarch friends—the very ones he’s shielding by dragging his feet on the full Epstein dump, despite signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act himself back in November 2025—will suddenly develop a spine. That law, rammed through by ballsy Reps. Ro Khanna (D) and Thomas Massie (R), mandated a complete release by December 19, 2025. But here we are, a month later, with the White House and DOJ playing games, dribbling out less than 1% while survivors twist in the wind.
These fat cats, terrified of reputational Armageddon and an onslaught of wealth-draining lawsuits, will whisper (or scream) into Trump’s ear: “Hey, Don, maybe Greenland isn’t worth the hassle—and those tariffs on French wine? Let’s dial it back.”
And don’t get us started on the public outrage—it’s a full-blown inferno, with podcasters lighting the torches. Case in point: Shawn Ryan, the no-BS ex–Navy SEAL and CIA vet, staring down Rep. Ro Khanna on his show and unloading this gem about the Trump administration’s foot-dragging: “They are protecting fucking pedophiles.”
France, Greenland’s silent guardian with Europe’s most powerful navy, doesn’t need tanks or tariffs to win this. Just wield that legal scalpel and expose the rot.
