According to biographer Michael Wolff, President Trump is desperately seeking a “big thing” to distract from the ongoing questions surrounding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff revealed that Trump is willing to sacrifice Ukraine in an upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin to achieve this distraction. This decision follows the failure of other potential distractions and is driven by the persistent “Epstein drumbeat” that is threatening the former president. Trump is reportedly seeking to appease his base by removing the U.S. from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Trump Is Plotting This Desperate Move to Distract From Epstein: Wolff
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the situation in Alaska, whatever the specifics may be, is being used as a strategic maneuver to sideline discussions surrounding the Epstein case. Is it really Trump who’s doing the plotting, or is it the network of advisors and loyalists around him pulling the strings? Either way, it seems the goal is to divert attention.
Trump, it appears, has a fairly straightforward game plan. It boils down to a couple of core objectives: Stay out of prison and, incredibly, secure a Nobel Peace Prize. Everything else, every policy decision, every public statement, seems to be geared toward these ends, potentially including the desperate attempts at distraction. The hope is that the “deep red state” can get its agenda through while the base continues to believe he actually cares about their well-being.
One of the most consistent refrains is a demand: “Show us the Epstein Files.” The disappearance of this topic from the mainstream media is concerning, raising questions about what is being actively suppressed. The possibility that the Epstein files themselves are being used as a kind of smokescreen is an unsettling one. The focus on Epstein is now seen as a way to potentially bury other issues.
It’s a relentless cycle of one scandal following another, each threatening to overshadow the last. Yet, somehow, Trump seems to evade accountability. The weakness of his administration has become a vulnerability, as he struggles to navigate the Epstein problems. The idea that he could have seized an opportunity to show strength by taking a firm stance on Ukraine, but failed, is a symptom of this weakness.
The suggestion that there’s something even more egregious than the Epstein files is a frightening prospect. The potential actions that could be considered a distraction are truly heinous. The fear is that the focus on Epstein is meant to hide a broader network of protection, a “pedophile protection ring,” as it’s being called.
The strategy, if that’s what it is, seems to be two-pronged: distract from the allegations, and then use the fallout to push through a pre-determined agenda. The failure of the Alaska distraction is proof. It seems like whatever he might be doing now was in the cards all along. He is afraid of going to jail, and he has surrounded himself with what some describe as fascists. Project 2025 was already in motion, and the public is starting to call him out on it.
The Epstein story has, for the moment, faded from the front pages. Some see the list as a distraction from the more substantial evidence held within the full Epstein files. There’s a sense that something truly significant is hidden, something that could shake the foundations of world politics. The perception is that his strategy is to use the Epstein case to distract from the Epstein case itself.
The core argument, however, is that Trump doesn’t really come up with the ideas himself; he’s an opportunist. People bring him schemes, and as long as he sees no personal risk, he’ll endorse them, regardless of the consequences. He is driven by personal interests: staying out of legal trouble and, seemingly, beating Obama at something.
The attempts to distract, the new scandals, the legislative actions, all ultimately circle back to Epstein. The discourse around the Epstein files is volatile because the perception is that Trump is implicated. The only thing that will reignite the conversation is the potential for the files to be released. It’s working on the media to an extent but everyone is still cognizant of it. This is a story with no outs for the regime. If the media won’t do their jobs, then we should keep reminding each other of exactly what kind of monster is infesting the White House.
