Power struggle

I am surprised that trump token, the s&p and crypto have less reaction to Epstein files.

In the Europe some people step down from their major political positions because of Epstein files, but I am surprised that not much in the US.

Power? Or what?

I think most of the correspondence response on the files as investigated by FBI are denying involvement, from Bill gate, Elon musk, even Trump himself. So I don't think it is going to make much of a meaning to draw public sympathy where most of the names called out stand as allegation.

There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies any wrongdoing. Many people who have featured in previous releaseshave  denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

This is because the US and the EU are very different when it comes to personal responsibility to do the right thing if your actions cause harm to someone or something. Let's just take the example of the president of the US who was a very close friend of that sexual predator, and who sees nothing controversial in the fact that he is mentioned more than a thousand times in the published documents, and the question is what is all in those they are trying to cover up. Anything similar would bring down any president or prime minister in the EU overnight.

I dare say that these are two completely different worlds, because there is no other explanation for such different reactions to something that is so disgusting, morally corrupt and sick that it is hard to understand why anyone would try to trivialize it. It is obvious that the system does not want to go against power, or perhaps it is better to say that it is precisely this power that created the system.

Anything similar will bring down a lot of politicians in the US, too. Imagine it were Kamala Harris who won the election and was involved in these kinds of scandals, do you think she would have survived? Or imagine it was Barack Obama with this kind of scandal, do you think he would have survived?
The standards and rules are different when it comes to Trump. After what Trump did in his first term and what he did on January 6th, 2021, do you think that if it were any other person, he would be able to win a presidential election again?
So many things Trump has said and done are career-ending for a lot of other politicians, but when it gets to Trump, people either laugh, shake it off, say he is joking or downplay what he did. Just like what happened when he made the social media post of the Obamas. He knows the privilege he has and he is using it quite well.

This is just an allegations from someone so using it to Tarnishing the image of someone will not be fair, mind you some of the names on the Epstein file was not even aware and has denied involvement in the allegations that has been raised. Personally I don't think that anyone should resign from his position because of an allegations from someone else. There is no power play here if you are narrowing what you are saying only to the Epstein file.


Again you have to know that people differs I don't think that Trump will leave his position because of this file, trump has survived plenty of court cases and and many allegations too and I don't see this changing anything for trump.
