Epstein Files PR disaster and the shrinking MAGA base

My thoughts on the handling of the Epstein Files debacle where I break down A LOT of stuff (and it still wasn't everything I wanted to cover). I tried to go quickly, but man does time fly.

Main points:
- MAGA is composed of different voting coalitions like those that prioritize the economy, immigration, border, Deep State, or are Libertarians, blue collar workers, or distressed Democrat voters [voting for Trump], and others.

- Trump is slowly turning on different sects of the MAGA base alienating voters 1 sect at a time. This is not normal of Trump's behavior.

- There is very sophisticated manipulation and deception going on in Trump's cabin aimed at separating Trump from MAGA or anti-Deep State voices.

- Trump is engaging in divisive behavior which Republicans are amplifying instead of taming. This is fracturing sections of the base making winning the House in 2026 very difficult.

- Newly released memo from DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveals damning evidence against the Deep State and Deep State players making it easier for the DOJ to prosecute.

Note: At one point, I start harping at Republicans. I do NOT mean Republican voters, but rather certain political career oriented Republicans all over GOP leadership. Just wanted to clarify that.
