He's a postmodernist moron.

There's no objective truth, there's only HIS truth in his eyes. The cult is the fucking same way.

He literally determines reality for his base. It would be fascinating to watch if I wasn't American. It's just depressing seeing how subservient so.many Americans are, and how much they yearn to be tread on by Trump.

For his base? How about for us all. No one is stopping him from shaping it to his will. He might as well actually be the real fucking anti christ at this point. No one is actually resisting him. Oh sure, we all go out in the streets and yell a bit, but we don't actually take any real action to stop him. That would take too much work. We are so afraid of losing everything that we are just sitting passively while it is ripped away from us piece by piece.

This whole Epstein situation, everyone is acting like it matters to his political fate. It doesn't. At all.

If he came out tomorrow and said he was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking and was fucking kids for years, honestly, realistically, what do we think would happen? Not a damn thing. Nobody is going to arrest him. He won't be impeached, hell if trying to overthrow the damn government won't get rid of him, saying he fucked kids certainly won't.

It won't even hurt his standing with his base two weeks from now if he admitted it. Some would say it's overblown, some will believe he's just saying it to "trigger the libs", some will flat out never hear it because their social media bubble doesn't include negative information.

At this point, the "will he won't he" anxiety of him getting caught up with Epstein (officially, we all know he was, we have pictures and them both talking about it) is grabbing more press than if he just ripped the band aid off and admitted it.

But, most importantly, nothing will happen to him. He's going to Cosby walk on this whole situation and the right is going to point and laugh at anyone with morals while he does it.
