    Idk. This particular thing is bad enough that I’m not sure it’s meant to be a distraction. Trump is up to other actually bad things besides distracting from the files. Like, at this point I feel like if Trump went on live TV and declared himself dictator for life people would be like “nice try distracting us from the Epstein files!”. At some point he ain’t distracting, he’s just getting back to his main tasks

      That’s because the majority of Americans think that he is not getting away with and or implementing the distractions. They think everything will get tied up in courts and nothing bad will happen. They have gotten too used to a normal functioning society and don’t believe the klaxon alarms going off everywhere right now.
