Trump is photo-shopping innocent photos to taint others with the Epstein scandal.
I'm thinking Trump must have done something truly horrific with Epstein for him to so desperately hide and manipulate the evidence.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

What is the motivation behind the Trump administration sending $1776 cheques to members of the military?
Clearly it is to buy loyalty.
So when the illegal order comes, like martial law instead of midterms, the rank and file will go along with it.
All dictators need the loyalty of the military

That's the very definition of derangement.

Since the definition of "treason" is the betrayal of a state, is Trump trying to say criticism of him is the same as betraying the country?
