Ever since the day back in 2015 when he first ran for president, Donald Trump’s always boasted that his rightful place among the high and mighty was proof of his valor and evidence that to ‘drain the swamp’, you need someone who knows where the bodies are buried in the corrupt circles of Wall Street and Washington.
So, why has the Maga base broken with Trump over the Epstein files? Why can’t this populist leader who beat allegations of an attempted coup with the storming of the Capitol, one who’s seemed to bend the constitution to his will at times since his re-election, why can’t he make this story go away?
Remember Trump ran against entitlement, and even when he’s threatening to withdraw the license of a TV network because its White House correspondent asks about the case, does the threat still carry now the same weight? How does his base now feel about siding with dictators over slain journalists and about tax breaks for the rich?
