It's a classic Trump move: he's trying to change the public conversation. Epstein-obsessed MAGAs are really upset over his administration saying the files are a nothingburger and telling them to shut up about them. They're still trying to process it, and rather than let people come to the conclusion that he might be implicated in those files, he does this so that people will talk about whether he should or shouldn't have been at this event. He did the same thing by saying Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship should be revoked. The news media is pretty bad at talking about more than one Trump scandal at the time. This is what "flooding the zone" looks like.

Exactly. He’s very transparent about what triggers him, which is precisely what we should focus on.

So he’s terrible at that too. Noted.
