I like to keep my distance from federal-scale politics, and view much of it as Kabuki theatre/Kayfabe for the mass-audience. But (and in that light) I find the pov interesting that Trump orchestrated his “falling out” with Elon Musk at least partly so he could ask Musk to post that famous tweet about Trump being a major figure in the Epstein files. Trump clearly uses Trump Derangement Syndrome as a ring-in-the-nose for millions of people (much like other such issues like Abortion have been used by both parties for decades). The Epstein files were being continually stonewalled, especially by liberals - UNTIL Musk hinted that Trump would be damned in them. And like clockwork suddenly Dems cannot get them posted fast enough. If Trump was actually indicted in, why weren’t at least the specific references posted years ago? Plus, Trump has repeatedly said early on that he wasn’t dumb enough to get caught-up in the whole Epstein honey-pot. So I personally can’t believe theres anything substantial in the files about him, or insiders would have used that info to destroy him years ago. So I like to toy with the idea that Trump worked with Musk to re-vitalize the drive for disclosure by simply tweeting that exposing those files would be damning to Trump. It’s an elegant stroke (much like how Trump subjugated the entire globe by simply Tweeting tariffs into existence, and inciting every world leader to bend the knee to him to avoid such). At any rate, what is inarguable is that now, suddenly, all the people who pointedly ignored those files for years have bent the knee and are screaming loudly for their disclosure. And only and solely because Musk promised them that disclosure would destroy Trump.
