I was actually not aware that Trump was being exclusively targeted this badly in these new Epstein files.
Okay so my thoughts on this.
I think the TPS [Transnational Private Sector] views Trump as;
unpredictable to their regulatory interests (antitrust, tariffs, tech control) despite operating according to what has been asked of him.
They view him willing to impose disorder on alliances (NATO funding, Ukraine hesitations, trade hostility).
And they see a major trigger for domestic volatility (Jan 6 legacy, institutional distrust, judiciary confrontations).
I don’t think the TPS wants Trump to be destroyed, just weakened enough that policy continuity is preserved in a predictable manner.
Leaking Epstein material obviously chips at the moral legitimacy of Trumps values-driven voter base.
It does not require courts or congress.
It exploits pre-existing distrust within conservative blocs around corruption, elitism, and moral hypocrisy.
This is a standard approach when the TPS prefers reputational attrition over direct confrontation.
Its creating maximum late-cycle damage when Trump cannot rebuild trust while it frames the conversation into “character integrity”, which hits his evangelical + traditionalist segments the hardest.
See I think Trump’s true “fortress” is not policy.
It’s identity.
His base tolerates corruption, aggression, chaos.
What they do not tolerate, is child-abuse associations.
Hence its highly politically radioactive.
Morality fractures this demographic without interrupting the economics.
It makes sense to me.
With these leaks, you shave off 3–5% of hesitant or values-based conservative voters.
You reduce enthusiasm while increasing abstention rates, and shift swing-state margins enough to control the outcome.
