Summary

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is Trump and Putin's desperate, evil, and megalomaniacal love affair as a diversion tactic. Trump, perilously seeking a distraction from the Epstein files, has a meeting with Putin soon, and Rick has a hunch of what Trump is willing to do to change the headlines to ANYTHING ELSE...even if that means some sort of deal with the Russian devil. Currently, 80% of Americans believe that Trump has something to do with the Epstein files, and it's breaking Trump and everything he's built. Despite 48 attempts (yes, Rick counted), Trump has been unable to change the headlines. Keep your eyes on the ball, folks. Even Trump's pathetic Vladdy-Daddy meeting won't be able to change the fact that Americans -- Democrats, Independents, and Republicans -- want to know the truth about the Epstein files. Look, Trump has finally found a way to unite the country!• • • • • Follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky, and subscribe to his Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.
