Will he, or won't he (be hurt by acting like he definitely has something to hide)

There are already plenty of Trump cultists lining up to re-affirm their undying allegiance to their yellow cult leader.   Truth be told, I reckon ageing single men in the Trump cult like (ugh) Catturd would probably say in private (but not openly) "what adult man hasn't looked at some hot 16 year girl and wished he could bed her?  So sure, if he did that he was just being a red blooded man."   

Someone writing in the New York Times today (from a "Catholic literary journal" - presumably with a small readership!) argues that the Epstein story will go away soon enough, arguing (I think) about the endless malleability of conspiracy stories;  but I am not so sure.

I think that the Trump turnaround (and betrayal of his conspiracy base) is a serious personal dent to their credibility that is hard to come back from.

Of course, the MAGA cult being what it is, there has been a crazy diversionary attempt, swallowed whole and immediately with the zero comprehension that it typical of a cult, from nutcase Tulsi Gabbard (who has such low self regard she won't resign even when her boss tells everyone she's wrong and - impliedly - gullible for believing her own advisers) that PROVES Obama committed TREASON (when the very documents she cites show nothing of the sort.)   

There is really no reasoning with a conspiracy cult on matters like that - but I think it can hurt their faith in their leader when he's the one telling them that one of their core conspiracies, which he encouraged for years, was always a nothingburger and they've been wasting their time thinking about it.

Trumps wrongdoing is pretty well known. I would have shot him in the leg. It’s chilling stuff. Horrifying. But it’s out there, and settled out of court.
But others are full blown child killers.

The ruckus over the Epstein files is because MAGA sees the release as the big chance to crucify some elites. Trump promised them that he would drain the swamp, stop the elites from ruining the country, and now he is perceived as protecting them. That is why it won't go away.

They want justice. I want Israel to be occupied. But MAGA as a group want justice. And the crime wave doesn’t stop with statutory rape and blackmail. There is industrial scale child murder going on. So you know. It’s pretty important stuff.

There’s nothing in this story. Epstein suicided and there’s no list. If Trump was in on it in a nefarious way, the Hiden administration would have left on it at light speed. Just cope, Stepford.

Dude the point of Epstein is that Israel must be destroyed. And that when kids go missing someone is raping, murdering and harvesting them. That’s the point here. They aren’t protecting Trump. They are protecting Israel.

The idea that Epstein suicided is silly. They either killed him or got him out and put a body there. Trump may have killed Epstein himself.
