>Really? Trump's best friend was a pedophile.

That was known before he ran in 2016, it didn't matter. Trump admitted that his wealth and celebrity made it easy to sexually assault women on tape and it only made him more popular to his base. And plenty of damaging images and far more direct links to pedophilia have come from the Epstein file releases since, despite the administration's best efforts. Where can you go after the allegation that Donald Trump punched an underage girl in the head after she bit his dick goes public and goes nowhere?

Honestly I don't think more pictures and more video is going to move the needle. Either you already accept that Donald Trump is very likely a pedophile based on the preponderance of evidence or you don't care. No one is going to be Pikachu face shocked by anything anyone could reveal at this point.

So you don't think that video of Epstein and Trump molesting an underage girl would have any impact?
There is already plenty of evidence and people have already made their minds up one way or the other.

Video would have some impact but only in the sense of throwing more kindling on the fire.

Exactly the sort of thing Trump might be inclined to try and avoid prior to an election.

That makes sense for the first term but not the current one. Unless he plans a coup he can't run for a third term, he has nothing to lose.
The way things are looking, he may need to rig an election just to finish out this term.
I think most of his followers would call it fake news or just ignore it
Is this the majority of voters? I don't think so.
