CRASH And BURN! Harry Enten Drops Devastating Reality On Dems' Latest Hope For A Narrative

Posted • August 12, 2025: They tried calling him a racist. That didn't work. They tried screeching that he is Hitler. Didn't work either. They even tried inciting violence so incessantly that two people tried to kill him. Swing and a miss. Strike three. The latest strategy by Democrats to try to beat President Trump (instead of, you know, embracing sanity and coming up with solutions for Americans) is to scream a new invective at him: TRUMP IS EPSTEIN'S BUDDY! RRREEEEEEE! If you've spent any time on X over the past couple of months, you can see that the talking points have gone out. And whoo boy, they are running with the Epstein Files. Well, stumbling, anyway. Elected officials, not just randos, are calling Trump a pedophile (which is pretty hilarious on its own, but particularly after they said nothing about Joe Biden showering with his daughter and biting small children).

They desperately hope that by constantly throwing the Jeffrey Epstein spaghetti at Trump, something will finally stick. Welp. CNN's Harry Enten has some bad news for Democrats who have no message other than hating the Bad Orange Man. At the risk of mixing our sports metaphors, it looks like they rolled yet another gutterball. —— The Epstein saga is becoming a political dud & nothingburger. - Google searches for Epstein are down 89% from just 3 weeks ago. - Trump's approval rating is holding steady & much higher than term 1 at this point in his presidency. - Less than 1% say it's the nation's top issue. —— We love Enten's segments because of the crestfallen look on the other hosts' faces whenever he breaks the bad news to them. She looked like she was about to start crying.

This is not to say that Epstein's victims do not deserve justice. They do. But Democrats' desperate effort to use this as a political cudgel against Trump and to drive a wedge among conservatives is falling flat on its face. Probably because the American people can see right through them, and also remember how the left said nothing about Epstein for all four years that Biden was pretending to be the President. —— Josh Hammer @josh_hammer: “This was the most predictable thing I've seen all year in politics. Media consumers' attention spans are infinitesimally small. ICYMI I explained for The Free Press last month why there were still many folks foolishly trying to pretend Epstein would sink Trump:” https://www.thefp.com/p/tucker-carlson-fixated-on-epstein —— It hasn't (and won't) sink Trump because everyone already knows everything about his relationship with Epstein.

They were once sort of friends, then Trump excommunicated him from Mar-a-Lago long before any of the trafficking details came out. If there were any more there there, Democrats would have used it long ago. Naturally, the left reacted to this news in a completely sane fashion. (Just kidding.) —— Jo @JoJoFromJerz: “The girls Epstein and Maxwell victimized are not a “nothingburger”. How dare you trivialize what was done to them like this. So you can suck up to the guy whose name is all over those files and the base that doesn’t care what was done to those girls? Shame on you. This is gross.” —— Aww, look how concerned insane harpy JoJo is. Except she was never concerned at all until about two months ago. —— Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin: “Harry, a nothingburger and being overwhelmed by a distraction campaign are two different things.” —— LOL. Of course! Everything is a 'distraction.' Trade deals, ending wars, making Washington, DC, safe again … ALL A DISTRACTION.

Thankfully, far more intelligent people understood why throwing Epstein at Trump turned out to be a dud. As some of us have maintained throughout this influencer-manufactured tempest in a Twitter teacup, underestimate Trump's understanding of his base—indeed, of the nation at large—at your peril. The Trump people caused their own headache on this by selling something they couldn’t deliver, but the idea that any significant amount of voters actually care about it was always absurd. There's no question that Attorney General Pam Bondi handled the Epstein case horribly (which is unfortunate, given how well she has done on most other issues in her time at the DOJ). If not for her overpromising and underdelivering, the news cycle probably would not have taken off in the first place. But it's always been clear that any outrage from the left was completely fake and manufactured. (…)
