Optics in Politics

Who cares, eh?

Epstein emails have been released. One side cherry picks. The other side claims a hoax. Hmm.

What I am seeing is a long game of fraud coming to an end. In amongst the emails is ‘something’ about Epstein perhaps helping the Russians understand Trump. Now we’re getting somewhere. For the longest time, there have been rumours that Putin has ‘something’ on Trump, which he has used to blackmail him.

In reality, a politician can be undermined by how things appear, not by how they really are. Trump’s in a bind, now. He wants to completely deflect attention away from himself, so he’s telling his DOJ to investigate Bill Clinton’s connections with Epstein, instead. This will backfire spectacularly.

The Democrats don’t care. This will not stop the probe into Trump’s connections with his pal. Even if Trump is completely innocent, his actions seem like he has ‘something’ to hide. It doesn’t matter what it is: his secret guilt is on constant display. Could it be because he never ratted on his friend, and is therefore complicit in his crimes? Perhaps.
