Anyone who knows Donald Trump knows that the current U.S. President always has a trick or two up his arse–nal…see what I did there? Trump has always found himself at the center of controversy, typically creating conflict through his own selfishness and lack of respect for others. While the president always lands himself in hot water through his questionable comments and troubling actions, he always finds a way to evade responsibility through finding a scapegoat for whom he can attribute blame to or doing something outlandish that completely redirects the public’s attention.
Trump is doing everything possible to condemn the validity of the Epstein Files, making it clear that the potential allegations against him are absolute rubbish and completely false. Through the revelation of only some of the information found within the cryptic files is found very incriminating evidence that only makes the 45th President of the United States look worse—and to think that what’s been revealed is merely the surface of the entire scandal is something that our society can agree is quite disturbing.
In recent news, however, Trump ordered an attack on Iran in what seems like an act of war—and now that everyone’s focusing on what could be the beginning of World War III, all of the discourse surrounding the disgusting acts cited in the Epstein Files has come to a screeching halt.
I mean, does anyone else find it interesting that during the time of the files-release Trump initiates an unprovoked attack on Iranian forces—an act that caused the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Is it really just a coincidence?
Absolutely not.
Why else would the president randomly order missiles to strike Iranian soil? It’s clear that this attack was a part of a bigger agenda. While Trump wants us to think that he is freeing Iranian citizens, in turn, he is only reinforcing his dedication to keep all of his skeletons in his multi-billion dollar closet. By pulling out all stops and shifting a national focus to potential international combat, Trump managed to take the pressure off of himself and avoid further focus on the files. He executed his plan perfectly as all of the attention is off of the files and onto the global conflict that is currently transpiring.
What does this say about the future of America? I mean, we could potentially have an alleged criminal in office. While everything that has happened in the Epstein Files has been either “lost” —and I am placing heavy emphasis on the air quotes here—-or yet to be discovered, shifting the attention away from it by starting a war with Middle Eastern countries was, undoubtedly, a brilliant strategy by Trump to take the heat off of his back. While there is far more context surrounding what encouraged Trump’s decision to take action against Iran, it is the timing of the act that makes it incredibly difficult to believe that it was not just a ploy to distract American citizens from his alleged crimes.
