Steelworkers in PA are very happy with Trump's tariffs. Farmers in Iowa are not happy with Trump.

People who are not happy with Trump's impact on their personal finances are more likely to criticize Trump for other things. People who feel that his policies are working for them are not going to care much about Epstein.

All this talk about morality is mostly b.s. Most people don't care.
