Tara Palmeri: “No American president has ever faced credible allegations of direct association with a pedophile’s global sex-trafficking network. Trump’s defenders will scream ‘hoax.’ His critics will call it accountability. But the reality is simpler: the story weakens him, deeply, at a moment when he can least afford it.”“He is less than a year from the midterms and inching toward lame-duck territory. As Americans remain frustrated over inflation and cost of living, he’s battling diving favorability numbers and he can’t argue it away.”“A presidency linked, even tangentially, to Jeffrey Epstein is a presidency on life support.”
