I can think of plenty of scenarios in which lying about and covering up the Epstein files is necessary for the good of the country. There of course are also many possible reasons that are totally corrupt. We don’t know. We may never know.
The bombing of Iran may be the act of an insane warmonger, or it may be theater orchestrated behind the scenes and designed to bring about peace in the Middle East. We don’t know. We may never know.
Similar things can be said about the tariffs, the big beautiful bill, and any number of other actions and pronouncements of the Trump administration. Does Trump lie? Are you kidding? He lies constantly. He is working against forces that have twice tried to kill him, forces which have brainwashed large segments of the American electorate and the global population, forces which consider themselves to be the rulers of the world. Non-stop lying is a requirement.
Either you have faith in President Trump and the people he has chosen, or you don’t. Either position is plausible. Neither position is based on evidence, nor can it be.
