Hey Molly, for the Epsteinth time! We won’t stop can’t stop asking about the Epstein Files
Yeah why are they so obsessed with conspiracy theories? It’s a mystery!
Q: Why do you think your supporters have been so interested in the Epstein story?
TRUMP: I don't understand it. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has been given. It's pretty boring stuff.

I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.
Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.

![The self-enrichment of the second Trump administration is different from old-fashioned corruption.

Nonetheless, he is presiding over a culture of corruption.
