Trump loves to talk, and loves the attention. If you listen carefully to what he says, you understand that very little that he says makes sense, and he often contradicts himself. But MAGA doesn't really listen, they are just there for the insults and rudeness.

Ghislane Maxwell's rehab has already begun in the US, with an anchor on Newsmax saying "she's a victim, too". She will name a bunch of Democrats, perhaps a deceased Republican or two, and she's say she barely ever saw Trump and Epstein together. The photos and quotes can't be ignored, but she'll find a way to spin it.

He is constantly going back on himself. I suspect it's sometimes deliberate to muddy the waters around his decision and thought process but also often just who is and he's just totally reactionary without much long-term planning. We're already seeing Maxwell's legal team trying to use this to her advantage, but I am not sure she can help Trump to distract from the demand for the Epstein files to be released. If she does come out and say it's all a Dem lie, I can see some hardcore MAGA buying that, but not all. A tangled web!

I totally agree with your IG post re Google stealing the IP of content creators. There's no other way of dressing this up - it's theft on a gargantuan scale. AI technology is already transforming the world, and this change is only accelerating. I could almost stomach big tech using everyone's work to feed the LLMs if this were being done purely for the betterment of society as a whole. But it's not. It's about profit, pure and simple, and that's what makes me really sick about the whole thing. It’s not the content creators who are getting paid; it’s those orchestrating the world’s biggest heist in plain sight who are reaping the benefits.
