    The same could be said about the Epstein files themselves. There are so many clearer instances of Trump breaking the law, his oath, and the constitution without having to back to something that came out during his previous term and devolved to nothing. To me, it’s funny how people point to real world threats and problems Trump is threatening, preparing, and has already caused and saying that that’s a distraction from Epstein and not the other way around.

    Propagandist don’t just feed their own narratives, they feed the easiest takes to deal with from their opposition so that their loudness drowns out the most effective opposition. With Trump, evidence seems to point that Epstein is definitely bothering him but it is not really stopping him from doing any of the BS he’s doing. The point isn’t that it doesn’t bother him, but that he keeps the focus on the small things that bother him so that people ignore the big things that would.
