If Trump is comfortable summarily executing, murdering, 104 civilians using our Navy, tearing down part of OUR White House, killing our economy with his tariffs, killing our insurance
Why would he care about hiding the Epstein files?

Here’s a gift link to this stunner Washpost story, quoting the 60 Minutes correspondent on the CECOT story, who accuses Bari Weiss of spiking the piece all because the Trump Administration wouldn’t comment.
“Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.”
