Pressure is mounting to release the rest of the Epstein files, some of which seem to be getting closer to exposing criminal activity by Trump. So what does he do? He dangles a shiny bauble to distract our attention our attention and dominate the news cycles. He starts a war with Iran with no proof of imminent threat to us or our allies. He is risking the lives of our military and our allies to get a respite from the building pressure of the files. He floats false hope to Iranian people that after the strikes that the government will be destroyed and power theirs to seize. He has no end game in mind.
