'It's perpetuated this news cycle': Frustration mounts in Trump's orbit about messaging on latest Epstein documents

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When the Justice Department released a first batch of Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday that included photographs of former President Bill Clinton, White House officials raced to amplify the importance of the new documents.

But days later, amid a second trove that contains several references to President Donald Trump, the White House is pushing a different view: Don’t believe everything you see.

Trump officials on Tuesday downplayed the latest disclosure of more than 30,000 files related to Epstein, dismissing the significance of the materials and suggesting that some that mentioned Trump were unverified or even outright fabricated. Even as the rest of Washington pored over records showing Trump repeatedly flew on Epstein’s plane, White House aides sought to highlight other matters the president is more eager to talk about.

The messaging shift — the latest in a largely unsuccessful effort by the administration to seize control of the story — has spawned frustration in Trump’s orbit and parts of the White House, where some saw the scrambled response over the last few days as just the latest stumble in a year of Epstein-related blunders and baffling communications mishaps.

Pay no attention to the perv behind the curtain.

1. They're finally figuring out that pathological narcissists with escalating FTD can't reliably be controlled

nor be depended on for consistent messaging?

Took ya long enough, assholes!

2. People in his circle are delusional if they think this is a news cycle management issue.

Well, they are delusional about many things.

But particularly about the idea that Epstein files are something to be weathered and moved on from to the next news of the day tomorrow. That was never how the Epstein files releases were ever gonna go.
