    The problem with the “this is all to cover up for Epstein” line is that it really diminishes how much of an actual threat Trump and his oligarch administration really is to everybody.

    He is doing all this because he wants to, it is real, and it is not to cover up for anything. Without Epstein he would still be doing all this.

    The fact that his avalanche of crimes does slightly cover up for Epstein is just his MO working as designed.

      This. “It’s just a coverup” gives him more credit than he needs. He doesn’t need to cover things up because he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He doesn’t need to distract because he thinks you’re dumb as rocks and he can just bully you into shutting up about it. He’s doing all these things because he wants to, because it makes him happy, and that’s all that needs to be said.

      Honestly, people bringing up Epstein feels like it’s the distraction from all the far, far more serious things he’s doing.

      He’s a pedophile, he fucked kids.

      But!!

      • He deployed the military to the nations capital
      • He is threatening to deploy the military to American cities.
      • Republican governors at his lead are sending their militaries into cities.
      • He said “people” are calling for America to have a dictator, making it clear he thinks that should be him.
      • He fucking let his supporters storm the capital on Jan 6.
      • He tried to commit election fraud asking governors to “find him votes.”
      • He very likely DID commit election fraud to win the presidency.
      • He literally said just the other day “I can do anything, I’m the president.”
      • He is ignoring the courts.
      • He created fucking concentration camps.
      • He created a fucking domestic army with a bigger budget that Russia’s actual army, who is held accountable ONLY by him.

      Trump FUCKING KIDS is the least important thing that he’s done. It upset people who had supported him and had been told it was such a big deal for years, but it’s small fucking potatoes.
