Trump repeatedly generates distracting controversies to divert attention from his failure to produce the Epstein files, using issues like tariff flip-flops, National Guard presence in Washington, and a meeting with Putin. US media has repeatedly chased outrage du jour and allowed itself to be led off course, reducing focus on deeper wrongdoing. Australia's 60 Minutes reported on the Epstein files while US outlets did not. Google Trends show public interest shifting away from the Epstein files. Concerns include alleged obstruction of files via DOJ proxies, privileged treatment of Ghislaine Maxwell, ongoing conspiracy implications, and victims remaining without explanations.
For more than a week I have been watching Google Trends as Trump flings more and more spaghetti at the wall to find something that sticks. Something with enough adhesion and coverage to hide his failure to produce the Epstein files, a kind of flying spaghetti monster more real than the snarky faux deity - sticky strands like the flip-floppery on tariffs, the unwarranted and unlawful occupation of Washington DC by National Guard, the embarrassing meeting with Putin on US soil.
US media has been helping Trump by allowing itself to be sucked into the noodly vortex with outrage du jour. Yes, there's a lot of outrage, and US media has failed to cover it in a way that conveys the depth of outrage. But they also allowed themselves to be led wholly off course by a convicted felon who is a serial liar and a serial business failure.
But we absolutely cannot allow this Manchurian candidate to continue to throw tons of pasta to obscure his role in a human trafficking conspiracy. Yes, his role, because he's actively hiding the files by way of his proxies at DOJ, while allowing Ghislaine Maxwell privileges she should not have in the form of better detention conditions not permitted to sex offenders.
