President Donald Trump is headed toward a “real-time collapse,” according to one political commentator, following the Friday release of a new batch of photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, two of them depicting Trump with what appeared to be young females, their faces redacted.
Adam Mockler, a political commentator and contributor to MediasTouch, argued Friday that the release would only lead to Trump continuing “to lose his mind,” given that the president has grown increasingly “squirmy” when pressed on his past ties with Epstein.
“The way this is coming out, the way that survivors are telling their stories, is going to lead to a real-time collapse of Donald Trump,” Mockler said in a video published Friday on his YouTube channel, where he’s amassed nearly 2 million subscribers.
“He is uniquely squirmy and finicky around this issue. Every time he's asked about it, he really dodges and weaves; he gets really weird about the Epstein issue. He screams at reporters about it, he yells, 'Quiet, piggy.' It's always the Epstein issue!”
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released 19 photos Friday morning from Epstein’s estate, a number of them having never been published before, including two of Trump. One depicts the president with one unidentified female whose face has been redacted, and another – in black and white – shows Trump with at least five females whose faces were also redacted, and most of them wearing plastic leis. It is unclear how old they are.
Trump’s past ties with Epstein have plagued the president during his second term, and with a new law requiring the Justice Department to release all of its files on Epstein by Dec. 19, Mockler argued that the controversy would only continue to consume the president, and to such an extent that his other priorities may be neglected.
“As the drip-feed continues, Trump is going to continue to lose his mind,” Mockler said. “He's going to be too focused on this to even focus on the economy or anything else.”
