      His dad is a Morman sheriff in Utah…

      Besides his skin tone being “blank piece of copy paper” that’s likey the main reason he was taken in alive.

      It’s not like he told his “dad” so much as turned himself in.

      There’s going to be a lot of pressure for him to plea out, that way the government can say whatever they want. He might even get Epstein’s in jail, they’ve already committed to a narrative, they can’t let him take the stand or worse start giving interviews about why he did it

          That was before they knew who he was…

          They want a Black transexual with blue hair, and they got a white suburban kid from a prominent Mormon and Republican family…

          Maga is scared shitless of the Mormon, if they break away Republicans are fucked without Utah.

          And their more loyal to a random member of their own church than to trump. trump is going to quickly pivot to wanting everyone to stop paying attention by Monday.

            Also could destabilize Republican influence in Arizona and Idaho as well, while their influence in Arizona is waning slightly their influence in Idaho especially southern Idaho is still extremely strong.

          Rock and a hard place…

          If he says he’s LGBTQ, the church disowns him and Utah will push for death penalty again.

          His best bet is to double down on Mormonism and say he did it for all the reasons Kirk and MAGA go against the Mormon teachings.

          Which again, worst case scenario for trump because he can’t afford to lose Utah and the Mormon church controls Utah politics.

          We’re gonna have to see how the next week goes, but this could lead to a huge fracture ahead of midterms. Republicans have a 6 seat lead, and 4 seats in Utah are up in 2026.
