Strongman Trump's 'Forever Wars' All Come Back to Jeffrey Epstein [View all]

There’s nothing the president won’t do to launder his toxic reputation, but the kind of stains that come from a long-standing friendship with Epstein don’t wash out.

The facts of what has unfolded to date in these wars make this clear. Trump and his team could not coherently express a rationale for entering into either “military operation.” They offered many possibilities, and spouted many blatant lies, but shifted between them carelessly as if they did not matter.

Why go to that trouble if there was nothing to hide? Why take the risk? What could be so grave that it warranted such behavior?

This man who literally wraps himself in the flag and who, along with his aides, regularly touts their love of the military, views the entire massive U.S. defense apparatus as a prop, a personal plaything, an entity that exists not to defend the country, but rather to defend the president himself.

Whatever the cost. Whatever the lasting damage done. It doesn’t matter as long as people do not find out any more of the dark truth about who Donald Trump is, what he has done in his past, and why our worst fears about him may not go far enough in detailing his depravity and contempt for the law and human decency.
