There has never been an administration that has worked harder to make people forget than the Trump administration. The headache of this “Epstein Client List” is the manifestation of his own base. Now, it is important to remember, Trump didn’t start this. He leaned into the pedophile messaging and demonic ideology that encompassed the MAGA base. Many times when asked about releasing the client list, he would say yes. Only to pull it back a few seconds later. One of the few times he never doubled down on this own answers.
I’ll be honest about one thing: I never truly believed in a “client list”. Like some black book that had names, dates, pictures of the girls, and what have you. To me, it just seemed a little weird that so many people would be willing to have pictures of them together.
However, with all the claims that they don’t exist, I’m starting to rethink my narrative. It boils down to the whole “thou doth protest too much”. Again, it is all Trump’s doing. He is the one that installed all the pro-Epstein client list personas into his cabinet. His attorney general, Pam Bondi, complained about it in the lead up to their inauguration. Kash Patel and Don Bongino were talking about it daily on their podcasts. Bongino, himself, claimed people told hit it was real. There names in there.
Much like with anything that backfires on Trump, he’s pissed because he cannot control the narrative. You have idiot personalities like Candace Owens asking Trump, “do you think we’re stupid?”
Yeah. In fact, you have never given him a reason to not think that way. There are still dick swallowers that, suddenly, believe Trump that there is nothing there.
Trump’s Epstein Problem Didn’t Have to Get Here
A personal belief I had was that he would obfuscate the whole Epstein thing for four years. Not do anything. Have Bondi go out to the media and claim he’s trying. However, it’s that fucking ‘Deep State” that is preventing us from getting the truth out. Much like his alternate health care plan from his first term. Like his income tax returns.
The idea that giving right-wing influencers the “phase one” folder. That was done to make people believe that they were doing something. Most likely, they never thought people would actually go through it and study it. Realizing, this is already know. Much like the release of the JFK files. That led to a nothing burger for those conspiracy theorists. They never complained about it, either.
Then you have Bondi on television claiming she had the list in front of her. All this wealth of information that Patel delivered to her. Only to backtrack later, she didn’t say she had the list in front of her. Even Fox News was confused by that turnabout.
Then you had Patel and Bongino doing a world tour claiming that Epstein did commit suicide.
It was insane.
The crazy thing people forget is that he died while Trump was in office. A good year and a half was left on his term. They waited until he was out of office to start claiming Democrats are hiding the list. Who knows? Maybe some were, but he (and his sycophants) claimed he was the answer. We would find out the truth through Trump.
Now, they don’t exist.
Much like with the economy, all Trump had to do was say nothing and run out the clock. Even that stunt with releasing the grand jury testimony didn’t pan out for him. Trump just needed to say stupid stuff on television. Get softball questions from Fox. Watch the economy recover. The Epstein questions would die down. He decided to play Russian roulette, except there was a bullet in every chamber.
