Trump tends to convert tactics again. But Epstein files may test their borders.
While President Donald Trump continues to find himself in an unprecedented uproar between Maga’s base for his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein’s files, he seems to tend to the strategy that brought him out of difficult situations several times before: conversion.
Within a few days, the president threatened a stadium deal for Washington leaders if they did not do so Change their name to the redHe suggested that the democratic Senator Adam Chef You should go to prisonAnd raising a 20 billion dollars Defamation suit Against the Wall Street Journal about a story related to his relationship with the perpetrators of sexual crimes, Mr. Ibstein. The Director of National Intelligence, Tolsi Gabbard, was released 230,000 pages of files At the assassination of Martin Luther King Junior, she also says that she handed out documents to the Ministry of Justice for a criminal referral that shows that the Obama administration was part of “Conspiracy of betrayal“To sabotage the 2016 presidential elections.” Russia’s trick “was about foreign interference during these elections is”The crime of the century!“Mr. Trump was posted on the social truth, along with another function of a video created from the artificial intelligence of former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office.
In the availability of news with the President of the Philippines on Tuesday, Mr. Trump was repeatedly asked about Mr. Ibstein. It was reported through the axis of allegations against Mr. Obama and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 elections, saying, “This is the chase of the charming that you should talk about.”
Why did we write this
While President Donald Trump tries to calm a stir inside his base because of his dealings with Epstein’s files, he uses a tactic – the conversion – led to his removal from the difficult spots before. But this time, it may be a promising promising that he cannot or not.
But until now, nothing is attached. Interest – whether in Washington or among his most powerful supporters – remains in the story of Epstein. Instead of paying attention to the case, Mr. Trump may already follow the same style that pushed him to the current Epstein disaster in the first place, through dramatic revelation on other issues that cannot or not to present.
“One of the reasons that makes many people feel uncomfortable with the Ibstein case is due to exaggeration,” said Bin Shapiru, a conservative commentator in the podcast on Monday. “They are upset because the thing that led to their insurance on the Ibstein case, by many of the same people who are currently in power, turned out that this thing may not have justified it based on the evidence … all I say is, don’t do it again.”
During the 2024 elections, Mr. Trump carried a promise to release the documents of revelation from Mr. Ibstein, the director of disgraceful funds and the sexual condemnation who was the subject of conspiracy theories since he died in 2019 while imprisoning sexual trafficking for minors. Once he reached his post, Mr. Trump directed some of the senior administration officials to make Epstein files, including the “list of clients” from the powerful people participating in the crimes of Mr. Ibstein, to the chants of his supporters.
Since the Ministry of Justice issued a two -page memorandum on July 7 stating that there is no list of clients, the president urged his supporters to move from Mr. Ibstein. But they did not. The reaction was very high so that Washington did not ignore.
On Tuesday, Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the last day of the vote and the House of Representatives rejected the August holiday early, to avoid voting on a procedure from the two parties that would call the Ministry of Justice to launch all its materials related to Epstein. Mr. Johnson said he was giving the Trump administration to “space” to deal with the case, but in overcoming September, he was The difficult vote for its gathering This would have made them go to the record against the White House or against their constituents’ request for more information.
Brian Stek, a national Republican expert who worked in Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, told the Epstein’s case “short -term distraction”. But Republican MP Thomas Massi, who has co -authored this procedure and since then the subject of the president’s attacks was online, indicates that the delay will not succeed.
“During the August rest period, I think the momentum will build for transparency,” Mr. Massi He told reporters. “I don’t think this will disappear.”
The White House showed this week’s signs that they might agree with this evaluation. At the end of last week, at the request of Mr. Trump, the Ministry of Justice requested the cancellation of the records of the Great Presses Authority in the case of Mr. Ibstein and his convicted partner, Gissin Maxwell. The judge replied on Tuesday that he needs more information in order to do so.
On Tuesday morning, Deputy Public Prosecutor Todd Blanche and Lawyer Mrs. Maxwell announced in one of the textile online on the podium that they were discussing. Possible certificate From Mrs. Maxwell. Hours later, the sub -committee of the Supervision Council on the Government Supervision and Reform Council voted To summon Mrs. Maxwell.
Although some of the supporters of Mr. Trump are frustrated by the lack of president on the Epstein case, others seem to be angry with his focus on escalating issues.
“Why is this be repeated?” Trump, voter Heather Connors, is asked about Russia and the 2016 elections. Mrs. Connors, who works in private education in Virginia Beach, says Virginia, says, “We are just moving. I’m more worried about my electric bill,” says Ms. Connors, who works in private education in Virginia Beach, Virginia, says.
As criticism continued, Mr. Trump’s only tramp came on the weekend. On Friday, a lawsuit against Wall Street Journal and the majority of the conservative media, Robert Murdoch, was filed in the Miami Federal Court for defamation for $ 10 billion each. In their file in court, the President’s team was killed quickly The magazine’s story About an alleged birthday message to Mr. Ibstein from Mr. Trump has spread to millions of readers online. Conservative and political critics who were previously criticized Mr. Trump’s dealings of the issue came to the president’s defense. Legal experts, however, say that the case of Mr. Trump is weak.
“the [lawsuit] “This is a tactic to use it to buy some time,” says Mitchell Sollenberger, a professor of political science at Michigan University.
Another way for Mr. Trump tends to previous grievances that are popular in his base when he faces a difficult political moment.
According to Mr. Trump and his allies, Democrats launched an investigation into Russia’s participation in the 2016 campaign in an attempt to discredit Mr. Trump’s victory – a theory they refer to as the “Russia’s trick.” in Her notes were issued on FridayMrs. Gabbard claims that she has evidence that Mr. Obama and his intelligence officials know that Russia has never changed the voting lists and then suppressed the relevant internal contacts that confirm this. But these officials did not claim that Russia penetrated the election equipment. Former Special Adviser Robert Muller and Senate Intelligence Committee led by the Republican PartyAnd, who was now headed by Mr. Trump from the names of the state, Marco Rubio, both found that Russia interfered in the American elections that seek to help Mr. Trump winning Through social media and penetration of emails of the Democratic Party.
“If Mr. Obama or someone does something wrong with him,” then let us accuse them. “But I only think that our side continues to push people to foolishness and then do nothing.”
