Trump palled around with Epstein for a long time. It’s well documented.

it's never been a secret that they were friends, so him being on the list was always likely. A close Trump ally having the guts to just shout it to the world hits different though.

Musk should have just 'accidentally' mishandled the files so they got out before his departure, it's not like the rule of law has applied to anyone in this administration so far.

I mean Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrews accuser was working as a towel girl at Mar a Lago when she was recruited into Epstein's world by Ghislaine Maxwell, that's about as connected as you get

JD doesn't have any charisma, and when he's POTUS, the whole cult will fall apart and hopefully democracy prevails.
Don jr is being groomed for the role, he could easily carry MAGA on.

I dunno. I got the impression that even a few MAGA find junior annoying.

I know it's a different era of US American politics and the quality of candidates continues to get worse, but even still Don Jr's extreme drug problem is surely gonna be an issue for him. Also, there's an assumption he wants the job instead of just snorting his day away, which might be a no.

Trump caught lightning in a bottle. The cult is loyal to him.

Don Jr wouldn't cut it and the GOP would absolutely turn on him.

A cult of personality doesn't transfer, you need to start a new one around the new figurehead. Vance and Junior do not seem to have that going on.

North Korea disagrees.

That situation is different than Maga or Jonestown imo.

The Trump files probably give the Epstein files a run for their money on their own.

Isn't Kim Il Sung still the Eternal Leader of North Korea despite his slight handicap of being dead?

While this exception to the rule may be fun to bring up they were in fact ruled by their original dictator who came into power at their creation for 46 years prior to the transfer of power to his son upon his death. This is a far cry from the populist cult of personality around Trump and I'm unwilling to believe any serious person would consider these situation similar.

I don't know how many North Koreans just go through the motions because of fear and how many actually love the Kim dynasty, but tend to believe that they are not nearly as loved or popular as portrayed.

Dude. Its a joke.

North Korea has an Eternal Leader...who is dead. And his son? Oh yeah. Also dead. Of course its not the same thing. Why is it not the same thing? Because while Hereditary Government is insane, so is Monarchy and...there is something hilarious about being obediently allegiant to a dead guy.

But anyways, theres also a semi-brain-dead Kennedy running a US Government Department and they just managed to turf a guy who takes more Horse Tranquilizers than most Horses.

Also hilarious.
