Hypothetically, should compromising photos of Trump with an underage girl exist, Trump would aggressively fight their release. This would involve legal battles to prevent disclosure, potentially stretching for months or years, along with efforts to destroy evidence. If forced to release them, redaction would be employed, followed by further legal challenges if manipulation is suspected. The Supreme Court’s potential deference to the executive office and likely non-compliance by Trump’s team would further obstruct any attempts at public disclosure.

Give It Up, Folks: Donald Trump Will Escape Justice for Epstein Too | If he’s guilty of anything here, Trump will use the same tactics he’s always used. And, as they always have – they’ll work.
Let’s be blunt: the air is thick with defeatism. You can practically taste it. The media, often owned by the very people who might be implicated, is already signaling the all-clear, a gentle nudge to accept the inevitable. Don’t bother fighting, they seem to say; it’s already over. But let’s be clear, this is a tactic, a calculated attempt to preemptively disarm us before any real battle even begins. We are not to fall on our own sword, folks.
Trump may be turning 80, possibly dealing with health issues, and, yes, there’s a good chance he’ll never see a courtroom for anything related to the Epstein case. But even if the legal system fails, even if he avoids jail, we can still win. We can win by exposing the truth, by shredding his legacy, by ensuring that the people who enabled him – the sycophants, the enablers, the complicit – are forever stained by association. The reality is the Republican party is Trump. His supporters are the ones who allow him to get away with the things he does.
We should not concede defeat. We should not fall on our own sword.
The reality, as those in power seem to understand, is that Trump doesn’t just “get away” with things through magic. He has a network, a machine of support that shields him. He will use the same tactics that have always worked: delay, deny, obfuscate. He has the resources, the lawyers, the strategists, the media allies, the financial backing, and the army of supporters, and these resources will keep the legal battles going indefinitely. He will use them to his advantage, and he will continue to muddy the waters in order to delay a judgement or have it ruled in his favor.
The fight is worth fighting. He might escape the long arm of the law, he might. But the truth will forever be linked to Epstein and child rape, and that association will never wash off. His reputation will never recover. He will die a scorned man, and his legacy will be tarnished.
This isn’t about running defense for a pedophile. It’s about recognizing the pattern. It’s about refusing to accept the manufactured narrative of inevitability, the shield of low expectations that is being erected. We must demand better. He is losing support. The midterms may bring a reckoning for the GOP, but the true reckoning will be a reckoning of his legacy, his tarnished reputation. The question is: will we accept it?
The real story that will stick to Trump, forever, is the Epstein case. It is his Achilles’ heel. It is the one thing that will never be waved away, because the public will not believe that he is innocent, regardless of whatever spin is put out. The narrative that will stick is the one where his name appears over and over again in the Epstein files. He’s nearing 80, and time is catching up.
Yes, there are systemic problems. There’s Christian fascism, there’s an oligarchy problem, there’s corruption, racism, a lack of representation, and the spread of misinformation. These are major hurdles to overcome. But the question is: how do we fix them? Do we elect new officials? How do we curb the power of special interests? How do we build a government that is more just? We cannot return to normal, so we must build a new normal that is just.
And what about the 30% of the electorate who are gone? The focus is on them; the ones who have a change of heart and who may decide that they have had enough. We will not give up. We will not let the defeatist narrative win.
There is no reason to think that all of the evidence has been released. The DOJ can only control what they have. Florida has evidence and NY has evidence. There are copies of the FBI evidence and what the Epstein estate still has. There are countless victims, witnesses, and associates. The elites he associated with cannot function without them and they will be exposed. There is too much, so he is cooked.
So yes, the system is rigged. But that doesn’t mean we should give up. We have to correct the system so it is no longer manipulated by the rich and powerful. And the fights worth fighting are rarely easy. The people in power will protect him. But his reputation will be destroyed. We must never let go.
