Bloomberg Discovers Trump Avoids Inconvenient Truths, Like Everyone Else
Yes, in a move that will surprise absolutely nobody observing modern politics, a public figure facing scrutiny over uncomfortable associations chose to highlight perceived successes. (Who knew?) The 'new disclosures' involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have, for years, pulled back the curtain on a VIP list that mysteriously involves a who's who of powerful individuals across politics,
finance, and media, including Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and others. Yet, the story here, according to Bloomberg, is Trump's strategic silence—not the decade-long, collective amnesia of those same institutions regarding the wider network implicated. We're left to wonder: Is the big story truly that Trump avoided the topic, or is it that mainstream outlets like Bloomberg find this
avoidance newsworthy, rather than focusing on the systemic silence that enabled Epstein for so long, and still protects many of his alleged associates? One might conclude that 'avoiding' the Epstein files is less a Trump anomaly and more a widely adopted, bipartisan strategy. How many inconvenient truths must a society 'avoid' before they stop being truths?
