    I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t gotten the Epstein treatment. Given what he knows, who he works for, amd his absolute inability to control his mouth, the people pulling strings must be concerned about the next thing he might say. I guess they think he might win reelection? I still think the moment he is more dangerous than useful, he has a controlled cardiac event.

      I don’t think they would care. Would anyone believe him anyway?

      This is not the timeline we want to see. It’d basically validate all the bullshit deep state claims.

      I don’t want to be a country where politicians fall out of windows.

        I don’t disagree with you.

        But Trump has a long history of obtaining money from international sources. Our reality is not the same as the reality for the rich and powerful, and their reality has different rules. I don’t believe there is a “deep state,” but I do believe that Trump owes people money and favors, and I believe those people would kill him to keep secrets he could spill. Really the only question is whether they can get to him, given that he has round the clock secret service protections. Before they got to Epstein, I would have believed that a maximum security isolation cell under suicide watch would have been safe.
