President Trump is now dodging questions and scrutiny about the so-called “Epstein Files”, and his ‘base’ is obsessed about what sordid details may be waiting to be discovered if/when they are ever released.
But, the more consequential aspects of the Epstein scandal are being missed. In all of the drama, there has been almost no attention paid to the victims of Epstein.
An important question.
IS TRUMP A DICTATOR?
To answer that important question let’s first consider some common characteristics of dictators.
Dictators malign the free press. Trump has done more to undermine the press than most dictators. He drummed into his followers that ABC, CBS, NBC and NPR were “fake news”. When news sources called out his lies and actions, he responded with “Crazed and Dishonest” and “Enemy of the people”. Now, as president he has attacked reputable news organizations like ABC and CBS with lawsuits and threats to take away their licenses.
After the American bombing of 3 Iranian nuclear facilities that took place on 6/21, much of the focus has been on whether or not the targets were “totally obliterated”, and if Iran may have moved nuclear material and equipment in advance.
The more important question to ask is this: Why did the President break his campaign promises to not “start wars” and to end “chaos in the Middle East”?
Representative Claudia Tenney (24th District, Republican) has asserted she is in favor of preserving Western civilization, but her Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act to withdraw federal support for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service’s television (PBS) gives the lie to her stance.
