The Epstein files, which may implicate Donald Trump, have caused the president to attempt to control their release, despite his campaign’s focus on Epstein’s alleged crimes. To deflect attention, Trump has engaged in various distracting maneuvers, including attacks on political opponents and increased deportations. This behavior suggests his potential involvement in the scandal and a desire to conceal information. Ultimately, the author calls for the release of the files, congressional action, and for voters to remove those who enable Trump’s actions.

To divert us from the Epstein files, Trump is putting our country at risk. It’s a complex situation, but the core issue is clear: Trump’s actions, many believe, are driven by a desperate attempt to keep the Epstein files – and the potentially damaging information they contain – from public view. This isn’t just about keeping secrets; it’s about a pattern of behavior that puts the country’s safety and interests on the line.
The sheer scale of the Epstein files, including details of wire transfers totaling billions of dollars and involving multiple Russian banks, underscores the potential for significant national security concerns. The fact that the Department of Justice seems hesitant to aggressively pursue this information, and that the media coverage has been less than thorough, raises legitimate questions. The core concern, as I see it, is that Trump would sacrifice this country on a dime to protect himself.
The evidence, to some, is damning. The suggestion that Trump, knowing the content of the Epstein files, would take actions to distract from their potential impact is a common one. This could include everything from authoritarian crackdowns on his perceived enemies to the deliberate undermining of democratic norms. He seems willing to go to extreme lengths to protect himself from exposure.
The issue isn’t just the alleged cover-up; it’s also the implications of what Trump might have to hide. The connections between Trump and Epstein, as evidenced by their regular travels on the same jet and the accusations of sexual misconduct, point to a level of collaboration. Any involvement with Epstein, who had been convicted of sex trafficking, would carry the weight of immense moral and legal responsibility.
One key element here is the deliberate focus on distraction. Some of Trump’s actions, such as his grievances with former President Obama or attacks against political opponents, can be interpreted as attempts to divert attention. This also includes actions that undermine national security, such as brushing aside concerns about Russian hacks or potentially giving away mineral rights in Alaska to Putin. The whole point of these actions is to distract us from the real story: the Epstein files.
The scale of these actions is staggering. Trump would appear willing to risk a great deal to keep the files hidden. The willingness to “burn the whole thing to the ground” indicates the perceived severity of what might be exposed. It’s about much more than a few embarrassing revelations; it’s about preventing potentially explosive truths from reaching the public.
There is also the idea that any of Trump’s actions can’t be considered a diversion because these actions are part of a larger plan. Even without the Epstein files, many suspect he would continue to implement policies that undermine democratic institutions and create chaos. The Epstein files are just a way to make things worse.
Ultimately, the fear is that the country is at risk. Every action, every policy, every statement could be interpreted as a deliberate effort to obscure the truth. This isn’t just a political game; it’s an ongoing threat to the fabric of American democracy and the stability of the world. It’s clear that we must not be diverted from the pursuit of justice and the protection of the vulnerable.
