There comes a time where the dog will turn on its master. After years of dangling the Jeffrey Epstein carrot in front of MAGA, the White House announces that there is no log book, no smoking gun. Pam Bondi has essentially said she “misspoke” when on Fox News and Newsmax, she claimed that the Epstein book was “sitting on her desk”.
The Jeffrey Epstein book saga made for great theater. It was amusing to see the MAGA talking heads play a guessing game as to which Democrat was in Epstein’s magic book. In a strange way, it felt like the Heidi Fliess situation all over again. Some of you younger readers may have to google her.
Let’s be real about a few things, even if there was a magic book filled with names of influential people the odds of it ever being released were slim to none. It gave Donald Trump one hell of a distraction from his terrible policies. His policy of alienating every ally we’ve had for over a hundred years, and replacing them with countries led by cruel men who feel once shall not speak ill of dear leader. His obsession with tariffs, which not shockingly, is paid for by the consumer. Though Trump has taken to his soapbox to demand that companies eat the cost and not pass it on. Only that those companies have shareholders to answer to, and push comes to shove, the company isn’t going to eat the cost. They’ll absorb it by,cutting employee hours, hiring freezes, or just cutting staff. They aren’t going to eat the cost in the manner of which Trump claims they will.
Let’s get back to Jeffrey Epstein, It doesn’t matter to MAGA that there are countless hours of video of Trump and Epstein acting like BFFs. Or that Trump is alleged to have visited the infamous Epstein island countless times. Not even the sworn grand jury testimony from two young women who stated that when they were 12 and 13 respectively, they were forced to perform oral sex on Trump. None of that mattered to MAGA. He spoke to their innermost bigot, and that’s all that mattered.
Watching MAGA meltdown over the last 72 hours has been quite amusing. I will admit, some of the things they’ve said about Pam Bondi has been disgusting, and I’m sure law enforcement will be securing a visit with some of these fine folks in the near future. There have been calls for Bondi to be fired and put in prison. I saw one truly brainless MAGA supporter demand that Bondi be deported.
Anyone who thought that any information other than what has been put out there was going to be released, was fooled. No smoking gun, no magic bullet. The Epstein Files Trump claimed the FBI had never existed. He outright lied in order to get their vote. And since he can’t run again, and he knows his base will never blame him, as long as he has others to shift the blame upon.
All of this played out the way that others like myself said it would. If there were any Epstein files, Trump would never release them. Sad thing is that MAGA is never in their lives going to acknowledge that they got conned by the Don. However, if there is anything history has taught us, eventually frustration will mount. And dear leader will find himself the focus of his base. However, instead of loyalty, they will come after him with rage. Humpty Dumpty is about to have a great fall.
