However, one of them is weighed down by the dull details of economics, while the other is bursting with the excitement of scandal and melodrama. So take a guess. Which one is the media most anxious to cover? And subsequently, which one is the Trump regime most worried about?<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68251\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Trump has been working feverishly to suppress any media mentions of the Epstein story. He is blasting the press for promoting what he calls a <em>&#8220;hoax&#8221;<\/em> (as usual). And he is pressuring his MAGA minions in Congress to deep six the issue. Meanwhile, he is hardly talking about the shutdown at all. As of this writing, he hasn&#8217;t posted a single comment on it in more than 24 hours on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68245\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. But not to worry. His Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is on the job. She tweeted Tuesday morning that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If not for the Jeffrey Epstein story, CNN would be forced to talk about how Chuck Schumer and the Democrats got shellacked by President Trump and Republicans in the government shutdown fight.

The Epstein story is just another hoax that is being spun by the fake news. And if Epstein&#8217;s emails, that tell of Trump having spent hours with an Epstein victim in Epstein&#8217;s home, weren&#8217;t revealed, we would all be <em>&#8220;forced&#8221;<\/em> to talk about Trump&#8217;s magnificence at <em>&#8220;shellacking&#8221;<\/em> the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with Leavitt&#8217;s argument, besides her callous dismissal of the gross and potentially illegal behavior of Trump, is that there was no <em>&#8220;shellacking&#8221;<\/em> of Democrats to brag about. To the contrary, Democrats crushed Trump and his MAGA Republicans by raising the issue of healthcare to the top of the news cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats also succeeded in attributing the blame for the shutdown &#8211; and all of the harm it has caused for the American people &#8211; to Trump and the GOP in Congress. They also insured that a vote will be held to hold the GOP accountable for the skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums. They also secured funding for SNAP for a full year.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, there are problems with the agreement to open the government, but they pale in comparisons to the gains, and they will be brought up again in two months when this Continuing Resolution expires.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that compassionate Democrats compromised in order to get SNAP funding for children, seniors, and others flowing. While simultaneously putting the cruelty of Trump and the Republicans on display. And the evidence of that was shown in the latest polls that have Trump underwater on every major issue, particularly the economy and the Epstein files&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3m5jqnloaws27\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiebdei5xjefxb2gkodcokm5rf6fnh7qs72jnjfscl4fw7vkfxbkuu\">\n<p lang=\"en\">TRUMP IS TOAST!CNN&#39;s Harry Enten: &#34;Trump is 39 points below water on the Epstein case.
