Jena-Lisa Jones, an Epstein victim, criticized Trump for directing the Justice Department to investigate Epstein’s connections with Democrats and others.
“I beg you, President Trump: Please stop making this political,” Jones said. “It is not about you, President Trump. You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class, show some real leadership, show that you actually care about the people other than yourself.”
She said that she voted for Trump, but called his behavior on the Epstein controversy “a national embarrassment.”
The kindest thing you can say about her is that she values something more than the Trump cult. Whether she “comes by her crazy honest” or is just tired of subordinating her own ambition to his whims, that I couldn’t say. In any event, she’s quite awful and even joking that she’s welcome in the Democratic party is stupid, but the break itself should be welcome. I think we’re also going to be seeing a good bit of erosion around the edges and some pretty insane palace politics. I have no doubt that a lot of people fancy themselves Trump’s defacto heir, and the jockeying for that and people not wantingg to wait until he croaks may be the only thing that keeps him from getting significant support in testing the term limits on US presidents.
If he were younger he might actually pull off that third term. But I’m thinking by then, if a cheeseburger doesn’t get him first, the dementia will have him so far off his rocker the cult won’t be able to hold together.
Can someone fill me in? What did she say now?
Edit: nm, found it. Wow, she said something sensible! Sorry for nbc link…
