Confusion Over Epstein File Revelations

Stance on Epstein Files

  • ✅ He expressed a desire for everything to be shown if it's "fair and reasonable," and that people who might be bad should be exposed.
  • ⏳ He also suggested that if there was anything substantial in the files, it would have been released before the election by the Democrats.

Frustration with Media and Supporters
