The president is attempting to keep calm in front of the cameras, but behind the scenes he’s fuming.
Donald Trump is reportedly getting more and more fed up with his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed headlines for weeks.
Trump is frustrated that the scandal has overshadowed his agenda and dominated the news, two people familiar with his thinking told The Washington Post in a Sunday report.
Nearly a dozen sources close to the situation spoke to the Post about the issue, painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash—particularly from Trump’s own base. Many officials had reportedly hoped that Americans would move on from the unreleased Epstein files, underestimating the sustained outrage.
What I don’t get is why Trump even cares. Clearly his “Grab 'em by the pussy” remark is telling you all you need to know about him and just as clearly, MAGA doesn’t care.
Maybe it just really is the fact that his supporters have hyped up all those who are on that list not just as rapists, which they seem to have no problem with, but as the demonspawn in flesh. So Trump isn’t concerned that he may be labeled as rapist, as that label didn’t stick before, but as incomprehensible evil, or Clinton for short.
This is my concern once it officially comes out. Like every other silver bullet we’ve had, people will think this is what finally takes him down, but once he says “She told me she was 18!” they’ll be all “That happens to me all the time too! Damn lying women!” and that will be the last we hear about it unless they use it against Democrats. I can’t honestly believe anyone would be shocked his name was on the list.
“Demonspawn in the flesh” is definitely the case for some of them.
It’s not that they’re just molesting kids, there are theories that they’re “[harvesting adrenachrome[(https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/pseudoscience/qanons-adrenochrome-quackery)” from them.
There’s a joke that was going around a while ago about a conspiracy theorist who (somehow) made it to heaven:
See, the thing is that these conspiracy theorists will never believe the truth, whatever the truth is. They’ll always think the conspiracy goes even deeper.
So, even if maybe he could survive being linked to having sex with teens, the problem is that his base believes that the “sex with teens” is just a cover for something much worse. All he’d be doing by admitting to sex with teens is to admit he was part of the satanist cabal. So, his only solution is to deny and deflect. But, denials just make it seem like he’s hiding something. And, while deflecting normally works for him, this is a foundational conspiracy of the MAGA base. This isn’t just some odd side-conspiracy like Obama conspiring against Trump, or Twitter suppressing news about Hunter Biden’s laptop. If there is any one central conspiracy uniting the right, it’s the child sex trafficking stuff.
Lol what. I’m sorry, I ain’t MAGA but truely the majority of his supporters are absolutely furious. They do care
They are furious, but not because Trump is a child diddler. They are only outraged because Trump is not releasing the files.
