The president is attempting to keep calm in front of the cameras, but behind the scenes he’s fuming.
Donald Trump is reportedly getting more and more fed up with his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed headlines for weeks.
Trump is frustrated that the scandal has overshadowed his agenda and dominated the news, two people familiar with his thinking told The Washington Post in a Sunday report.
Nearly a dozen sources close to the situation spoke to the Post about the issue, painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash—particularly from Trump’s own base. Many officials had reportedly hoped that Americans would move on from the unreleased Epstein files, underestimating the sustained outrage.
They will tell you he is mad, while quietly sending photos of Clinton with Epstein to the media, slowly growing the narrative that Ghislane will be unspooling for her pardon. Nobody will believe her if she just comes out and names a bunch of Democrats, gotta groom the media and shift the narrative first.
I remember the black helicopter crowd constantly talking about Clinton and the “Lolita Express”. I’m sure they’d love to resurrect that old chestnut.
