"Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they're causing—from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions," said Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
I think rather than calling everything a “distraction” it makes more sense to call it what it is: desperate attempts to cling to power. If trump loses power he can no longer cover up the epstein files. Ergo, this is just the latest effort to cover up the files.
Even without the Epstein files he would still be doing all this shit. That is what he does, and the avalanche of shit serves to cover up the individual lump of shit. It was exactly the same back in his first term, he has just gotten a lot bolder now, which says a lot.
