Democrat Epstein Smear Campaign Against President Trump Fizzles into Irrelevance

August 12, 2025 - Democrats' relentless push to tie President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein has rapidly deflated, emerging as yet another failed attempt to distract from their own scandals and the Trump administration's successes. As CNN data analyst Harry Enten observed, public interest in the story has plummeted, with Google searches for Epstein dropping 89% in just three weeks, rendering it a political "nothingburger."

This campaign, fueled by demands for "Epstein files" release, ignores the Department of Justice's findings: no incriminating client list exists, no blackmail evidence surfaced, and Epstein's death was confirmed as suicide. Attorney General Pam Bondi, after vowing transparency, reviewed tens of thousands of files and found nothing warranting further probes, debunking long-held conspiracies. President Trump dismissed it as a Democrat-orchestrated hoax, akin to past smears like Russia collusion, emphasizing that if damaging material existed, opponents would have leaked it years ago.

Every Democrat accusation serves as an admission, spotlighting their own figures' documented Epstein connections, such as Epstein's 17 confirmed visits to the White House during the Clinton era, while projecting onto President Trump, whose known ties ended decades ago. This tactic floods unrelated online discussions, aiming to overshadow Democrat corruption and President Trump's achievements in border security, economic growth, and law enforcement reforms. Yet, the public sees through the noise, tuning out as the narrative collapses under its own weight.

Polls reflect this shift: while initial hype drew attention, disapproval among Republicans remains limited, with many viewing the uproar as overblown and prioritizing real issues. Across all fronts—tariffs, foreign policy, domestic safety—Democrat propaganda loses grip, ignored by all but their most rabid base, while the public at large remains focused on results over rhetoric.

As President Trump advances his agenda and the Democrat corruption is revealed, this current propaganda campaign underscores the opposition's desperation, recycling baseless attacks in an effort to distract from the issues that matter.
