Trump's Attacks Against "The Squad" are an Effective Distraction From his Ties to Epstein

Trump is a sexual predator and Jeffrey Epstein has been his friend for one for many years. (Epstein had over a dozen phone numbers for Trump in his possession-quite a few for someone he "barely knew&quot . To distract from his obvious sexual predation from hanging out with his monster bro, Trump brought on his ultra-racist attacks against the four Democratic congresswomen. Trump has already confessed on the "Access Hollywood" tape one of his preferred methods for sexually assaulting women. He is essentially yelling "fire" in a crowded theater to redirect everyone's attention. This in no way discounts or minimized the awfulness of his racist attacks. However, we can't lose sight of another hideous Trump debacle.

waiting to find out about bail. That issue will return, and plague Trump further, no doubt.

This is only a temporary distraction, and one that has captured a lot of negative attention to Trump. He will regret it.

this topic is way too incendiary for it not to remain headline news,

But with all things in the legal system, it will have it's ups and down in news cycles,

One thing to remember, by the time this could potentially go to trial, it could very easily coincide with the 2020 elections.
