President Trump, under fire over his administration’s handling of the Epstein files, escalated his distract-and-deflect strategy on Tuesday, accusing former President Barack Obama of treason and declaring, “It’s time to go after people.”

    Do you really think Trump gives 2 shits about the atrocities in Gaza and is trying to cover them up? This man has only ever cared about himself.

      No I don’t think he gives two shits, but I think it’s strange that he’s met with Netanyahu multiple times in the last 6 months and pandered to his insistence that the US bomb Iran out of the blue, particularly when Trump campaigned on a platform of not getting involved in more middle east bullshit.

      If there was evidence that Trump was involved in a pedo ring then the previous admins would have jumped on it, so Trump’s probably fat headed enough (or his handlers at the heritage institute are) to think it’s a good idea it as a way to chew up media time while more nefarious shit takes place (local concentration camps, workers rights being stripped, genocide in Gaza by their pals). Now it’s getting out of control (everyone thinks Trump is a pedo, and maybe someone will dig up something he already tried to bury) so they need a new distraction so people worry about being distracted from the existing distraction and forget about the other issues.
