āā¦the years-long embrace by Trump and his supporters of conspiracy theories about the governmentās handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case has left the president under political siege from members of both parties over his ties to the pedophile financier.
Trump blames it all on his usual Democratic targets. But it was candidate Trump who promised to open the governmentās Epstein files; and its probes into the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
He fed the presumption that something sinister prompted the so-called ādeep stateā to withhold the truth about the involvement of powerful people.
Now, however, Trump is the ādeep stateā and his administrationās failure to find the promised disclosures has prompted most Americans to think he is hiding something, a belief that gains more traction with each new disclosure of some connection between them.
Last weekās Economist/YouGov poll showed 4 of 5 American adults believe the federal government should release all the Epstein files, and 2 of every 3 think the government is hiding something, including half of all Republicans polled.
The GOPās underlying concern is that Trumpās relationship to Epstein was more than just friendship. Though they later fell out, they spent a lot of time together back then. āHeās a lot of fun to be with,ā Trump told New York magazine in 2002. āIt is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do.āā

Another example of Trumpās incompetence and stupidity, and the fact that Trump is unfit to be president.

Comment: Trump has only himself to blame for Epstein mess | HeraldNet.com
Trump played up this and other conspiracies when it suited him. Now, his denials only feed suspicion.
Another example of Trumpās incompetence and stupidity, and the fact that Trump is unfit to be president.
