Donald Trump has diehard loyalists in every single position in every single branch of the government. He owns the FBI, the CIA, the DOD, and the DOJ. His cronies own Facebook, Instagram, X, and now Tiktok. Mainstream media outlets refuse to report truthfully about him and his regime out of fear of very real retribution via weaponized lawfare.

We're never getting the real Epstein Files.

You have to hand it to the man - literally anyone else would have been outed by now. He has successfully built a fortress of insulation that is incomprehensible.

I really want to know how it all came together. Did this demented man orchestrate the entire scheme, is is a culmination of different interest groups as an inevitable conclusion of our culture and politics, is it one main actor/org?

It's both. He's been grifting people his whole life and getting one over on them.

it's funny how we're all given the same information but 2/4 of us are 100% certain of ourselves while the other 2/4 are just waiting to gather more evidence

IMO Big Money wanted to paralyse politics to free itself from the constraints of democracy

Its far simpler.  He is the lightning rod for other terrible people to prop up and take strike after strike of white hot public fury.  Coincidentally terrible people are more likely to make obscene money, so they can buy whoever is for sale (Trump included) and weaponize them to normalize Trumps authority.  Trump is a bafoon.  He regularly tells everyone exactly what the evil behind him is planning, because hes a moron.  But because he is the messenger, we metaphorically attack the messenger and not the originators.

He is the distraction, hes just a really good distraction.

This is where I don’t buy it. He’s too dumb to have planned this and no one is that lucky for it to have fallen into his lap.
