Help keep the TRUMP-EPSTEIN connection ABLAZE in every voter's mind!
Remember "TACO"? We can use the same strategy by REPEATEDLY using the nickname EPSTEIN-BESTIE TRUMP. Just replace "President" with this nickname on the first instance of his name in EVERY post, article, video, etc. EVERY DAY.

Every day, Epstein-Bestie Trump's DISTRACTIONS escalate in atrociousness: • Bulldozing the East Wing. • Removing Medicaid from 11 MILLION needy American CITIZENS. • ICE violence, imprisonment, ...

“AS ROARING MACHINERY TORE DOWN ONE SIDE OF THE WHITE HOUSE, [Epstein-Bestie] Trump acknowledged ... that he was having the ENTIRE East Wing demolished to make way for his 90,000-square-foot ballroom.”… He unsentimentally claimed that “It was never thought of as being much…”

WE MUST KEEP THE TRUMP-EP$TEIN CONNECTION FRONT-AND-CENTER IN THE MIND OF EVERY VOTER.

This will help tip the opinions of even MAGAs against Trump. Just as the TACO nickname stuck to him, we can do the same by using the nickname Epstein-Bestie Trump.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.
