Are trump's health disclosures a distraction from Epstein?

trump is ill but in the past, the trump administration would ignore questions about his health. The fact that trump made some limited disclosures about trump's health does help to distract from Epstein

Way too obvious. Rosie and other distractions failed.

may even have backfired, because there are a number of older people who deal with something similar, they take a look at Trump, and say, "nope, that man is about six months from a major coronary or stroke".

This whole Epstein thing isn't going away any time soon, and it feels like they're trying to find a way for him to step down, without admitting guilt. That, and it's getting harder and harder for them to claim that he's in any way, shape, or form healthy. He can't hide any longer. Not to mention that the economy is now circling the bowl...

tuberville is an idiot who is too stupid to realize that trump is trying to use his health issue to distract from his other issues
