(34,929 posts)I do not believe that for one second.
We have to think about who had a motive in this situation.
Is the Epstein situation removed from the headlines now? I haven't turned on the news today. I assume it's either 9/11 tributes or CK coverage.
From my understanding, CK mentioned that he was being seriously threatened by other republicans for bringing a guy named Dave Smith onto his podcast (Smith was advocating for an end to the Israel/Gaza conflict).
There's also the matter of his wavering back and forth about the Epstein files. Did CK privately confront trump and ask for access to the files in order to be able to get back on the trump train with a clear conscience? Did a deadline pass without access to the files? By offing CK, trump could kill 5 birds with one stone - 1) escape CK's deadline about the epstein files, 2) change the subject with the media, 3) create a martyr, 4) a pretext to start rounding up trans, 5) a pretext to start rounding up people on the left (or block the left's access to guns).
