Sorry, Mr. PRESIDENT, but something stinks.
And talking down to us won’t have a good ending.

I love Trump but this is an idiotic take if taken at face value.

For example: Why would the files not been used along time ago if they had damaging info? For the same reason they aren't being released now, that's what EVERYBODY is thinking. In other words, it's damaging to people you don't want to damage, or who made you not want to damage them.

For example: The Epstein files a fake psy op like the dossier was. Then why is this the very first time this has been alleged? For example: Stop fixating on Epstein? Sorry. you have an issue where the public is saying 'you made a promise and now you pretend it's a non-issue. We don't believe you and think your entire administration has no credibility and is lying to our faces.'

Trump has a very tin ear on this issue and I wonder why.

Trump is ultimately responsible for the entire fallout from this.

There has been cover up for years. We were told no video existed of Epstein's death. Then, one is put out, apparently edited with at least a key minute missing.

Bondi said she was looking at a client list and then backtracked.

The files that have been released were recycled ones that the Biden regime put out.

Blowing off both the coverup and lack of transparency isn't going to work. It's shocking Trump so tone deaf on this issue.
