    The Epstein files are only part of it. The bigger aspect is that Trump has no intention of being limited to 2 terms.

    He’s seen both Netanyahu and Zelenskyy delay elections due to war. He thinks it could work for him too. He’s even met with both of them in the past few weeks. The combat in question being a hemisphere away is unlikely to be a problematic detail for him.

      If he actually does that it will become extremely difficult for other world leaders to continue to support him. Politically speaking it’s pretty dangerous for them to support him as is.

        Nobody really does support him though, they just support not being punished. At this point I’m not convinced there’s an end to that

          No he does he has his far right supporters in other countries. That’s why a lot of governments are being careful to not outwardly criticise him too much, it would mean problems for them back home. But the more and more of this kind of stuff Trump does, the easy and easy ot becomes for politicians to make increasingly critical statements on Trump without it affecting their support back home.
