The media is all excited that the MAGA base might break with Trump because suddenly he doesn't want to release the Epstein files. "Nothing to see here" according to AG (and Trump sycophant) Pam Bondi. "Why would anyone want to know all this sordid stuff anyway" says Trump (despite fuelling the conspiracy by retweeting the daft idea that Hillary Clinton had Elstein murdered while in prison awaiting trial).
It looks awkward that despite the MAGA base baying for Epstein's "list" to see "who was involved", suddenly Trump wants nothing to do with releasing the DoJ's files. "Aha" cries the press. "It will drive a wedge between Trump and his MAGA faithful".
But here's the thing; well two actually. First, the MAGA base will swallow any bitter pill, so devoted are they to Trump, even to the point of pretending they were never that interested in the Epstein files in the first place. And second, Trump will spin some ridiculous and entirely incredible story that there never was a list and it was all a hoax made up by the left wing media and Democrats working in the "Deep State" to sink his second bid for the White House. To the MAGA faithful, the truth isn't important. Power and loyalty matter more.
