Trump's Epstein Finale Puts Country at Critical Crossroads

Something very odd is happening with Trump and the Epstein case.

It’s a topic pundits have churned to mud and one I was not keen on wading into, owing to the general banality of it all. But at this point, with Trump’s increasingly cagey rhetoric, I can’t help but react to the ominous odor of his actions.

We’ll dispense with recounting the entire chronicle of Trump’s erstwhile Epstein interest juxtaposed against his abrupt about face—one that, some have noted, directly followed Netanyahu’s state visit.
