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%.

Pierre Poilievre's Early Life and Biggest Hits as MP

Pierre Poilievre was born on June 3, 1979, in Calgary, Alberta, to a 16-year-old high school student mother who placed him for adoption shortly after his birth; he was raised by his adoptive parents, Marlene and Donald Poilievre, both schoolteachers from Saskatchewan who had recently relocated to Calgary, alongside his younger brother Patrick in a middle-class Roman Catholic household that emphasized education and public service. His biological parents later divorced when he was around 12, and in his early twenties, he connected with his biological mother, a nurse in North Carolina, and his maternal grandfather for the first time.
Growing up in suburban Calgary, Poilievre enjoyed competitive sports like hockey, football, and wrestling—though a shoulder tendinitis injury at age 14 sidelined him from the latter, prompting him to accompany his mother to a Progressive Conservative meeting that sparked his lifelong interest in politics!
