Remember, Epstein was arrested during Trump 1.0. Trump didn’t like what was happening; he clearly put the kibosh on the deep state’s flying brothel of horrors. And though he lacked full control of the #Resisting government, his DOJ was in a position to hoover up every file, hard drive, photo, logbook, and blackmail tape before the story got memory-holed.
Trump may have found himself in possession of a treasure trove of global leverage. Not just over domestic swamp creatures, but royals, technocrats, intel assets, bankers, and foreign politicians. You can imagine the advice he’d have gotten.
Imagine what you might do with all that power.
Maybe Epstein’s death wasn’t about hiding secrets. Maybe it was about ending the operation permanently— like Old West justice in a designer prison jumpsuit. A clear message to anyone thinking about reviving the network.
In this scenario, Trump Always Wins isn’t just a meme. Maybe Trump isn’t always winning because he plays 4-D chess better than his deep state enemies. Maybe he’s successfully draining the Swamp and corralling the European Union because he holds all the trump cards. And maybe this memo release is part of a grand chess move in the bigger Epstein game. Maybe he made some kind of massive deal, and his part of the bargain was to publicly end any further investigation.
Is it the Art of the Deal? Maybe it was something as simple as this:
Whether this scenario comforts or horrifies you depends entirely on how much you trust Trump’s motives and judgment. If the truth were ever revealed —if we could see the full board, the pieces in motion, the stakes— we might even agree the trade was worth it. Or maybe we’d conclude the price was too high.
Because this is Trump we’re talking about, and he never plays just one game at a time or does anything without a reason:
Probability: 35%.

The Danielle Smith Empire is striking back. The word is out. Danielle Smith’s Death Star Team are abusing their access to party membership lists. They are desperately calling members who they believe will support Danielle Smith’s anti-democratic views on UCP AGM 2025 by offering to pay their way to the AGM (out of what funds we ask) if they support Danielle’s slate of directors and purge the party board of anyone supporting independence for Alberta. Complaints by offended members of the party are being prepared and are soon to follow.
All of this foolishness started at a recent (not so) United Conservative Party Provincial Board Meeting. Danielle Smith put forward an anti-democratic motion to muzzle the 70% of UCP members who strongly support Alberta independence. The motion split the board right down the middle leaving Rob Smith to cast the deciding vote. Shocking all the people...
