Responses beginning "So..." very commonly fail the waffle test, and this is no exception; the simplest response is to discourage the behaviour by pointing this out and muting.

Forty-plus years ago, a Radio 4 comedy (The Burkiss Way?) parodied Jonathan Miller's vox-pops in 'The Body In Question':

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Fawlty Towers still the go-to reference. And to think people ask whether Britain has soft power.
He mentions Epstein twice in this post. Lmao. It's like that scene from Fawlty Towers when he keeps saying DON'T MENTION THE WAR and ends up goose stepping around the lobby
Did not take Trump long to try to rectify that briefing via Truth Social
