I think that what is particularly audacious here is the way that before the latest Epstein stories came out and there was speculation about who was going to have been revealed have been doing what, there were quite a few people saying "It won't matter to MAGA cos even if it comes out that Trump had actually built his own mansion on Epstein Island with a landing strip so that Trump Force One could come direct from Mar-A-Lago and there are photos of him naked except for a MAGA cap with devil horns performing a ritual child sacrifice while Ghislaine holds down the victim, they'll just say that he was working under cover or trying to bring down the international paedo ring or something" and while normal people kinda gave a wry smile, it seems that Trump's supporters and team were going "hmmm, yeah that's pretty good actually, if need be we should definitely go with that".
I've noticed one thing that Trump does so often that I reckon that it's gotta be a deliberate tactic - and I have to admit it's pretty smart. Basically it's quite common for him to say two things that are the total opposite of each other so that later he can claim to have been on whichever side of the argument he deems most convenient. So for example on January 6th he says "go to the White House and fight like hell" and he also says "We're the party of law and order don't do anything bad" and that means he can have his cake and eat it, he very clearly told people to go and try and stop the inauguration thingy, but at the same time, if he's ever said to have been responsible for the riots he just quotes the bits about pease and he knows that his followers will back him on that.
Same with Epstein, there are loads of pics of them together and that quote you always see where he says that Epstein is like him cos they both like young women (which you'd have thought was fairly damming to be honest) but there's also this thing going around about how he threw him out of Mar-a-Lago and then banned him at some point - I don't even know If that one is true but with the MAGA selective quoting it's the only thing you ever hear.
I bet you there are loads more things like that if I put my mind to it. The thing that in fact keeps spring to my mind is the Gordo Brown one when he had a nanny who needed a visa and he wrote on the application "no special treatment but do it faster". So sneaky cos he can say that he very explicitly said no special treatment, but at the same time if you see a message like that from the Chancellor or whatever then you are gonna fucking act on it.
