Uh, erhrm, yep, nope, just a coincidence, or something.
Also, fuck you, shut up, stop asking about it.

This is the most incompetent cover up of all time.
There is a mountain of evidence, and indeed literal legal rulings pointing toward Trump being a serial rapist, that he'd walk in on 15 yo girls in the changing rooms for Miss America paegants, that he was very good friends with Epstein for over a decade...
The first time him and Melania had sex was on the Lolita Express, on Epstein's jet.
Trump is so fucking extremely obviously in the Epstein files that, after this, this fucking farce of 180 about face, I am now inclined to believe that Trump is the one who ordered Epstein be killed.
It's not incompetence.
It's indignant.
They know they are getting away with it and there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do to stop it. None of his followers are going to stop worshipping him as a result.
Technically yes, indignant is more accurate...
But that does also kind of loop back into being an incompetent cover up... if one assumes the concept of a cover up is to actually make the entire issue just go away.
And... I do actually disagree that none of the magats will snap out of it.
Its actually causing quite a lot of chaos and anger.
Will all of them suddenly realize they've been duped, and then magically become better people?
No.
But ... this whole Epstein thing, its a pretty big fucking deal to a lot of the people that got on board with Trump largely due to QAnonsense conspiracy theories...
Its now actually breaking the cognitive dissonance of a lot of them, who've been waiting for Trump to finally rout the Deep State of pedos... who are now either realizing that Trump just is another powerful pedo, or at least covering up on their behalf.
