The war crimes he’s committing are far more atrocious than anything he could have possibly done with Epstein.
Yeah, but unfortunately the severity of the political consequences for each does not correlate well with the severity of the offense, especially for the person living in the bubble of the US Presidency. Double especially a Republican one!
When it comes to their voters, a president like W or Trump is pretty much expected to generate a steady flow of corpses of dehumanized non-people on the other side of the world somewhere.
But release just one video of Trump raping a child, or one pic of Trump blowing Bubba, and that’s literally a thousand times worse. There are so many millions of ignorant people who just go along with what they’re taught and have reinforced through echo chambers. They are seasoned pros at making excuses for their cult leader and looking past faults. His crimes are him being a shrewd and smart businessman. His cheating and predatory behaviors are because he’s a lion among men who drowns women in testosterone if he doesn’t move along.
But a real pic of him with a dick in his mouth? Like, corroborated with sources by multiple journalists who release it at the same time? Imagine the number of supporters Trump has lost because of Gaza, Iran, and all military stuff combined over the past decade. He loses 10x that number within in the first day after the pic. It’s a horrible thing to say, but it’s true.
I honestly think he could get away with it if real and verifiable pictures of him abusing children were to be leaked. Most of the news media is controlled by people sympathetic to Trump and he’d wield the power of the state to go after anyone who doesn’t fall in line. As long as it doesn’t threaten capital, right wing judges aren’t going to rein him in. His sycophantic base would be eager to believe in narratives of it all being AI even if those claims were easy to disprove.
That said, the war he’s launched against Iran is beginning to have a major impact on the global economy. He only has so many tools to buffer the US from the consequences of that war. The sickening thing is, it’s much easier for Americans to have moral clarity on the horrors of imperial violence once it starts to negatively impact their standard of living.
