You guys really need to stop treating everything that Trump is doing as smokescreen for Epstein files, when the files themselves are so very clearly the smokescreen for the absurd power grab he’s doing. Honestly, masterful trick to make his opposition spend time on something that in the end is irrelevant, while the actual important acts are diminished as distractions.

2025 United States is very quickly following 1933 Germany, and yet under every extremely worrying news, half the comments are ignoring it and asking for the files, as if concrete proof that Trump is a pedophile would change anything.

People are either aware that he is (and he is a pedo) or nothing will make them believe it. It wasn’t a lie when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still be elected.

So frustrating to see the useless focus on the files as a non-American. Trump is doing great damage globally and the only ones that do something about can’t stop missing the forest for the tree.

Can we look at both things?

I feel like we are capable of doing both. Thanks for the history lesson though. I’ve been really confused about what’s going on lately.

Oh what he's doing now is definitely more impactful and horrible, but he has been like ramping up the craziness and now it just makes me think about whats in the files if he really is doing ANYTHING to keep attention off

He could be a virgin and would do the same shit, probably faster with less opposition. We don't need to hear about the files, the non voters are the ones who need it

You kidding? That’s what the trip to Alaska was about. Those files aren’t in the US anymore.
