While the rest of his White House staff is attempting to claim that the Epstein files released this week – including Trump’s crude sketch featuring his signature – are “fake,” Donald Trump decided to take a different approach. When asked by a reporter on Tuesday about the release of the files, Trump said that he would not comment on the issue because it is officially “dead.” He can declare it all he wants, but that doesn’t make it so.

Democratic Representative Suhas Subramanyam told CNN on Tuesday that there are even MORE Epstein files that the House Oversight Committee has received and will be releasing very soon. This was a direct taunt to Donald Trump who has been unusually quiet about his name being all over everything in those files, which included a never-before-seen photo of Trump pretending to “buy” a “depreciated woman” from Epstein at his own golf resort.

And Republican Senator Mitch McConnell warned in a recent interview that there are far too many similarities between America today and America in the 1930’s. McConnell’s concerns are about both economics and global stability, as he believes that the isolationist, “America-first” policies of the Trump administration are allowing our enemies to grow stronger. But it was the economic policies that really worried him, as he brought up what Republicans did with tariffs to stop the Great Depression but ended up making it so much worse.
