Washington is a stage, everyone's an actor, and we’re living in the Trump Show.
by Professor Jiang - Predictive History
For forty-three days, the American government was shut down. When it re-opened, four Republican members of Congress sided with the Democrats to push for the release of the Epstein files. These four members are Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Marjorie Taylor-Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.
With Trump’s backing, the Zionist billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson have pledged $20 million to unseating Massie. Boebert was called into a White House Situation Room meeting with Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. Trump has publicly disavowed “wacky” Taylor-Greene.
The House Oversight Committee has released Epstein e-mails that embarrass Trump, and he has asked Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton. Such an investigation would pre-empt a Congressional order to release the Epstein files.
There is growing fear that Trump may start a war as a distraction. What blackmail did Epstein have on Trump?
We know that Roy Cohn mentored Trump. Cohn was the blackmailer par excellence, and what did Trump learn from the master? Probably what you would learn from any drug dealer – don’t get high on your own supply. Trump, a teetotaler, threw seductive parties without ever touching alcohol.
Trump and Epstein were good friends who fell out because Epstein was poaching Trump’s female staff. In 2007, Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
What of Epstein’s e-mails about having compromising photos of Trump with underage girls? So what? Trump organized the Miss Teen USA pageant, and liked to barge into the girls’ dressing room when they were naked. Trump is an expert at subverting morality and decency without breaking the law.
All of this suggests that there is no incriminating evidence in the Epstein files against Trump. There is probably no incriminating evidence against anyone.
Then why do Trump and his Department of Justice refuse to release the Epstein files? Because there’s no incriminating evidence against anyone.
Let me explain. Let us say that you’re Trump, and you want revenge against the elite who conspired to steal the 2000 election. You want to win a third term, and you need to rally MAGA against the elite.
The Epstein files – which document the sordid collusion among the elite – is your best weapon. You release the files, and everyone pores over the hundreds of thousands of documents, and discovers there is no smoking gun. In the world of the elite, contracts are signed with nods and winks. There is no e-mail detailing each person’s role in ritual child sacrifice. The furor lasts for a month before everyone loses interest.
What if you refuse to release the Epstein files? You do everything possible – including bombing Iran, shutting down the government, and pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell – to suggest you are compromised. Tension rises, anger builds, and conspiracies swirl. The MAGA base becomes convinced Epstein was a Mossad spy, and the Zionists got you.
Last November who would we think would be Trump’s loudest supporters in his second term? Among the tech billionaires, it would be Elon Musk, who donated 100 million dollars to the Trump campaign. In the media, it would be Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes. In Congress, it would be Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Lauren Boebert, who were his most loyal supporters in his first term.
Isn’t it strange that the moment Elon Musk leaves the Trump administration he fires a tweet saying that Trump is in the Epstein files? Isn’t it strange that Carlson, Owens, and Fuentes are screaming that Trump has betrayed MAGA? Isn’t it strange that Taylor-Greene and Boebert are pressing for the release of the Epstein files?
When I was in my salad days, I had a girlfriend with borderline personality disorder, and we would break up all the time. This went on for four years, and I asked her why she wanted to fight every day. “The more we fight the better the make-up sex,” she told me.
Let us do another thought experiment. Let us say that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens wanted to make Nick Fuentes famous and mainstream. They platform him multiple times on their shows, but Fuentes is so tainted that people prefer to ignore him. Carlson and Owens lose viewers.
What if Owens were to argue with Fuentes on her show? When she goes on Carlson’s show, he calls Fuentes “this weird little gay kid living in his basement.” Fuentes does an epic rant against Carlson. There will be those who despise Owens and Carlson so much that they can’t help but admire “this weird little gay kid.” Fuentes appears on Carlson’s show for a reconciliation, and everyone smiles at the grace and humility of both.
This is media alchemy. By creating a plot-line of tension, climax, and catharsis, you induce emotional investment in your audience. No one wants to admit this, but make-up sex is really good.
I do not mean to suggest that Carlson, Owens, and Fuentes had a long weekend in which they mapped this out. They don’t have to plan, strategize, and co-ordinate because that’s who they are, and that’s what they do. They could not be this successful in the media without having a sixth sense of how to manipulate public perception.
Trump is fighting a “war” with Massie, Boebert, and Taylor-Greene because that’s who they are, and that’s what they do. This conflict focuses attention on the Epstein files, and the harder MAGA digs the more the base will become convinced that America is run by an elite ring of pedophiles blackmailed by Mossad. They will come to believe that the only way to save America is to burn Washington down.
When the time is ready Trump will become their champion again.
Perhaps he will demand that AIPAC register as a foreign agent. Perhaps he will support a law banning dual citizens from Congress. Perhaps he will order the arrest of elite pedophiles (with a pardoned Ghislane Maxwell as the star witness).
And the Washington elite will refuse to believe Trump played them all along.
That’s why Trump will win out in the end — because the conned think they’re the conners.
