Trump-Epstein files™️ distraction
Operation Epstein fury
operation IVANKA wife.
Are you saying that what has the potential to be the largest war since world war II is just a distraction from a bunch of documents that could eventually get someone convicted, even though most likely they have the power of not being convicted regardless?
I'm sure there are better ways to distract people.
It's hard for people to conceive how monumentally stupid Donald Trump really is.
I think of it this way. He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead he figured that he could sell his fans NFTs.
It's completely on brand for him to start a war
Yes.
Why would you deny it is a better question
Edit: I made a mistake by responding to this trumpist troll.
Only Americans give any serious importance to the Epstein files. I don't know if this was the case, but I'm pretty indifferent. This war is a way larger problem than the Epstein files.
If this war is actually the result of someone wanting to take attention away from the Epstein files, then it may be better off for everyone to stop thinking about the Epstein files and prevent this kind of stuff from happening again.
There's a lot of jaw dropping shit you just wrote but the only thing worth the time to mention is that, obviously, trump is the one who started the war, so it's kind of up to his reasoning why. It is beyond clear he did this to distract from his pedophilia. People had been saying for weeks he would do it because the files were looking worse for him all the time.
Again I ask why do you deny this.
I don't deny anything.
It is not beyond clear to me. It feels like a huge oversimplified explanation of the causes of what could be a huge conflict. The war was started by both the US and Israel, not by Donald Trump alone.
Did Trump get into this war just to take attention off the Epstein files? It is possible, but I doubt it is the main reason.
I was wrong to reply here. Because given that you wrote that, you give trump more credit than a person who can be conversed with would. 👋
To talk with someone you need them to be convinced Trump is stupid? We are talking about the president of the United States, no matter how stupid he may be I'm sure he's got plenty of advisors. The military had to have a plan for this.
They've literally admitted they didn't plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, what the fuck are you on about
What do you mean? The US military had to make plans for an attack. An attack of this scale is not organised one day to the other.
They probably did not, so what? Does that take away that they planned the attack? Does that take away that Trump was likely advised on the matter? Does that imply that the only reason why the US attacked Iran is to take away attention from the Epstein files?
Your statement implies that trump has ever had a non-self-interested reason for doing anything. Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with. It seems like you've been asleep for 10 years.
Yes.
I'm afraid you're living in a bubble. This is not a good stance when talking with people. If you know better than I do, you can explain.
Saying that Trump never did anything but for his own interest is an oversimplification which I could only attribute to the strong polarization of opinions in the US. However, I don't know much about this and I may be wrong on whether it comes from polarization or some other cause.
He was after all elected twice as president, some people even tried to topple the government when he lost the elections. He clearly did something those people liked.
I won't participate in this farce anymore, but I will be assuming anything you say from now on is from the standpoint of helping trump propaganda wise
I'm afraid you are misunderstanding: I have no sympathy for Trump.
Open your mind, around the world there's a bit more than just republicans and democrats.
I'm afraid you're misunderstanding. You've discredited yourself to me and nothing can change that now
