But what if the foe is really the Epstein files?
Then it was a stupid plan even from an electoral point of view.
I have an ongoing half joking bet since the 2nd day in the war that Trump will be talking about the parties in the island to distract people from the side effects of the war by June.
Double down on the distraction.
Ooh look, we've got Marines to deploy!
Then you have lost both the battle and the war.
And knowing is half the battle.
Sending the price of gas to the stratosphere, replacing the petrodollar schema by petroyuan, increasing the military spending by a huge margin, and antagonizing the entire world aren't enough of a distraction to guarantee people won't be thinking about it in the elections.
But doing that with 9 months of time for it to impact all the business and family budgets in your country is.
The real enemy was the secrets we made along the way.
