    I see the Trumpists have pivoted towards clarifying the definition of “pedophile”. This seems to be going great for them.

    but seriously - why the white binders with the social media influencers at the White House, why the pretend show with Bondi and Patel before inauguration, why all the talk of releasing the files by Trump himself? Did he seriously think this would just go away?

    why are his worshipers so gullible?

    "he's not actually a pedophile, he's just a statutory rapist" isn't exactly a great defense

    Another Democrat attack boomerangs on them when the emails exonerate Trump! Every. Single. Time.

    What is Trump hiding that is making him take such a political hit even among many of the MAGA faithful? It is probably not sex with an underage girl. Trump can easily say unless these girss were pre-pubescent that he was told the developed say 15 year olds were presented as 18. After Stormy Daniels and other proven escapades nobody thinks Trump is a Christian boy scout.

    It maybe that he and many other politicians probably were being blackmailed by Israel and the Mossad.

    People saying having sex with or being attracted to 15 year olds is pedophilia is taking it "out of context."

    You need the full context- pedo, hebe and ephebo.

    In Florida, like most states, mistake of age is not a defense to a charge of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, even if the victim lied about their age. This is because minors are legally considered unable to consent. However, there is a specific exception under Florida Statute § 794.05 where a person under age 24 may have a defense if the other person is 16 or 17 years old and there was consent.

    Occam Razor: He's ultra-sensitive about his image. The files likely contain embarrassing content that is damaging. He'd rather feed his conspiracy-thirsty MAGA base by directing their attention toward Democrats and other powerful figures, hoping that's enough to satisfy them. But even if it's not, he'd rather face their backlash than have his image tarnished.

    I am not as enlightened as I could be I suppose but I don’t want the President of the United States giving blowjobs to former Presidents.
