Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with how his administration’s handling of the furor around the Jeffrey Epstein files has dominated the news and overshadowed his agenda, said two people familiar with his thinking.
His exasperation follows weeks of missteps and no clear strategy among top officials who underestimated the outrage, especially from the president’s base, and hoped the country would forget about the unreleased Epstein files and move on, according to nearly a dozen people close to the situation, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal deliberations.
Keep talking about it. Don’t let Epstein fade from the national discourse. Not just over Trump but all those fuckers on the list.
While I agree, especially to his face, it’s not going to fade away.
trump didn’t build the q conspiracy and all the other conspiracy groups that became his most motivated base. He’s just surfing their wave.
If the most extreme of his followers flip, he’s fucked because without them pushing his narrative religiously he can’t maintain the rest. And they’re not going to stop talking about Epstein
GOOD! Let the shit backfire in his facsist face
We’re talking about some of the most mental ill followers from an extremely mentally ill cult.
If they turn against Trump, the most likely scenario is that they go more auth/fascist or batshit insane. Trump will probably pardon Ghislaine and prosecute a sham list of political opponents; they will fall in line.
They can be mopped up. He’s the lightning rod.
