    'Spiraling': Ex-Trump staffers say newest Epstein comments make him look 'really guilty'

    excerpt:

    "He's getting really paranoid here," Taylor said. "There's no supporter of his that's going to buy the idea that his name was simply planted in the files given everything that's come out, given the revelations that Trump was briefed by his own attorney general that his name was really found in the files. And so he's getting really anxious here."

    Troye agreed with Taylor's point, and made the argument that Trump wasn't "behaving like someone who is innocent." She further suggested that Trump's "lashing out" makes him look "really guilty."

    'Epstein stole my underage girls' isn't the best excuse Trump could have formulated.

    Neither is 'Biden planted the Epstein files'.

    How Trump's tariffs are already impacting Americans

    excerpt:

    "The distortion caused by stockpiling will fade, but over the longer term many economists expect the Trump administration will still struggle to bring down the overall US trade deficit.

    That's because they argue that the deficit is primarily driven by structural imbalances within the US economy - persistent national spending in excess of national production - rather than unfair trade practices directed at America by other nations."

    Article from March 2025.


    The US trade deficit: Myths and realities | Brookings

    excerpt:

    A better way to reduce demand for imports as well as the United States’ need to borrow from foreigners would be to decrease the U.S. budget deficit, Obstfeld argues.

    “If Congress passes a budget that raises [fiscal] deficits, the situation is just going to get worse, notwithstanding any tariffs,” Obstfeld said in the interview. “Tariffs will generate some revenue, but not enough to plug the hole.”

    That's what Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress ended up doing. They passed the debt-ballooning big, beautiful, budget bill.

    It's a mistake to think that Trump is going to finally be satisified with whatever trade agreements he reaches in his second term. He will accuse others of not complying and start more fights, and ones that have nothing to do with trade but are used as a vehicle for retribution (like tariffs against Brazil because his autocrat buddy Bolsonaro is being brought to justice).

    He wasn't satisified with the agreement he reached with China and the revision of NAFTA he did during his first term. He's been at war all over again in his second term.

    He wasn't satisified he beat Hillary in 2016. He whined about her for months after the election, as if he had lost. Bloggers called him the 'sore winner'.

    It's a mistake to think that even though he's gotten just about everything he wanted that he's going to stop fighting with people.

    Fighting with people is his life.

    Trump keeps digging himself a bigger Epstein hole.


    https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/07/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-trump/683717/

    excerpt:

    When Donald Trump told reporters yesterday that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” a young woman named Virginia Roberts Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago, her surviving siblings were shocked—not just because the president had described their late sister as he would an object, but because his comment raised the possibility that Trump might know more about his onetime friend’s behavior than he has previously acknowledged.

    “It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey ‘likes women on the younger side … no doubt about it,’” Giuffre’s two brothers and her sisters-in-law told The Atlantic in an exclusive statement, their first public response to the president. “We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this.”

    Since the cost of tariffs are ultimately passed on to consumers as higher prices, tariffs are actually a tax to help pay for the regime's $4 trillion giveaway to the 1%.
