Paybacks are hell. Is this Trump's current object lesson?

Trump has made many enemies in the US and across the world.
Every day he pisses off more and more people.

Even people who voted for him or backed him.

Some of the people he has hurt, double crossed and lied to includes wealthy and powerful people.

Are they fueling the current Epstein frenzy?

I doubt that the GOP cares about sexual predators.
Is this more about bringing down Trump?

Yes of course. Musk does not care about child sex crimes. It was a threat and warning. Irish_Dem Jul 2025 #2

In the beginning Musk was fanning the flames, right at the time when Krasnov was talking smack to Putin. Krasnov talking about sending arms to Ukraine and putting sanctions on countries that deal with Russia.

Putin through Musk could be telling Krasnov to back off.

Food for thought.

Musk is a narcissist and psychopath like Trump.
He only does something if he benefits himself in some way.

He was at war with Trump, trying to win a battle.
He played the Epstein card.
And the Internet took off with it.

And yes Musk is pals with Putin.

So it could have been both Musk and Putin trying to slap down Trump.
