From Epstein’s Island to Obama’s Inbox: Trump’s Dark Diversion Strategy
When the heat's on, invent a scandal — especially if it targets America's first Black president…
When the walls start closing in, Donald Trump doesn't lawyer up: he doubles down. With Epstein's ghost rattling through the headlines and the threat of explosive disclosures looming, Team Trump has rolled out its most cynical, racially-charged distraction yet: accuse Barack Obama of treason.
It's not about justice. It's not about truth. It's a deliberate psyop meant to hijack the news cycle, enrage the MAGA base, and erase Epstein's name from every chyron in America.
Which is why it appears that the Trump White House is closing in on the conclusion that the only story that could be "big enough" to blow Epstein off the front pages will be "Obama Committed Treason!"
They're busily assigning investigators, FBI agents, lawyers, and others in the Justice Department to find everything they can that might implicate our first Black president in having committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Democrats and many in the media are essentially ridiculing the effort, arguing that nobody is naïve enough — or malicious enough — to believe such a story. But things that seem illogical or even flat-out nuts to reporters and Democrats may, according to a scientific study published in recent months, make perfect sense for Trump supporters.
