Saturday may turn out to be one of the most important days of Trump's presidency. It's the day:
1. Trump lost control of the MAGA narrative.
2. He confirmed the existence of the Epstein files.
3. He is concerned they may become public.
4. He will try to change the subject by prosecuting his enemies.
