Trump Finds His Principles: 'Release the Epstein Files... Eventually'
Donald Trump now declares House Republicans 'should vote to release the Epstein files,' calling it a 'Democrat Hoax' from 'Radical Left Lunatics.' This sudden zeal for transparency, as reported by Axios, conveniently overlooks his publicized association with Jeffrey Epstein, including the New York Times quoting Trump in 1992 stating, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of
fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” One might wonder why a man so close to Epstein for decades needed a 'change of heart' to support releasing files that might implicate... anyone? The media frames this as an internal Republican skirmish, ignoring the glaring reality that Trump himself was a fixture in Epstein's
orbit. To declare something a 'hoax' while simultaneously campaigning to 'release' its contents demands an Olympic-level feat of rhetorical gymnastics. It seems our political figures only demand transparency once they’ve calculated the personal gain from the spectacle, leaving the public to wonder if the 'hoax' really is the 'lunatics' or the selective memory of those in power.
