The former president has dismissed the story as a “hoax” and threatened legal action against media outlets reporting on his ties to Epstein, while simultaneously claiming his general election numbers are the highest ever.

Trump: ‘I absolutely love’ that Colbert ‘got fired.’ This is a sentiment that, let’s be honest, feels a bit like a carefully crafted soundbite, doesn’t it? On the surface, it’s about a perceived slight, a comedian making jokes at his expense. But dig a little deeper, and it’s clear there’s more to the story. Some people definitely see this as a political power play, an attempt to silence dissent in a world where comedy has become a potent form of commentary.

His show’s ending, a planned event, is being framed as a victory, a perceived win against someone who dares to speak truth to power, or at least, crack jokes about it.… Continue reading

The implication is clear: a large portion of the population suspects a cover-up. This leads to a cascade of further questions and considerations. Who is behind the concealment? What specific details are being hidden? And, perhaps most importantly, why? The poll itself provides a snapshot of public perception, but the reasons behind it are likely complex and multifaceted.… Continue reading
