Donald Trump found out over the weekend that he can’t escape the Epstein scandal, even when he leaves the country. Trump snapped at a reporter for asking about the scandal, and the next day he kicked a reporter out of the room for asking about Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump is desperately trying to distract the public with fake scandals about Obama, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and Beyonce, but nothing seems to be working and it’s driving him insane. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

So Donald Trump, of course, was in Europe over the weekend and during a, uh, I guess a press briefing, we could call it a q and a session, whatever it was. He's sitting there with, of course, EU Commissioner Ursula Lavo Durland. And a reporter decides to ask him a very timely question about Jeffrey Epstein. And this question sent Donald Trump into an absolute tizzy where he responded with, no, you gotta be kidding me. So he's not happy. And then of course, on Monday, during a q and a while he was there with UK Prime Minister, Kiir Stormer. He decided to let us know that he was never invited to Epstein's Island. Uh, he said he actually never had the privilege of going to Epstein's Island, uh, which is a weird way to phrase that. I, I wouldn't call that a privilege, but he swears he never went there.

And this is the first time Trump has, of course, talked about the island. But nevertheless, it's been obvious for some time, and even more obvious after the last two days, that, uh, Trump is having a nervous breakdown about the Epstein scandal, that for some reason for him just will not go away no matter how hard he tries. And the Washington Post, late Sunday evening, published a report about how bad things have gotten for the entire administration because of this scandal. Here's what they wrote. President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with how his administration's handling of the Fre around the Jeffrey Epstein files has dominated the news and overshadowed his agenda, said two people familiar with his thinking. His exasperation follows weeks of missteps and no clear strategy among top officials who underestimated the outrage, especially from the president's base, and hoped the country would forget about the unreleased Epstein files and move on.

According to nearly a dozen people close to the situation, many of whom obviously spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal deliberations. So, so a dozen people in the White House were like, yeah, it's under his skin. We don't know what we're doing. He doesn't know what he's doing. None of our distractions are working. You know, they, they tried to initially do a Hillary Clinton investigation, which they're still pushing. Pam Bondi said she'll look into it. So maybe it's Hillary Clinton's emails again, which even the Drudge Report, uh, said was basically the dumbest thing ever. Then of course, it shifted from Hillary Clinton to Obama. Oh, oh, Obama's treasonous conspiracy to make Trump look bad, which is not a crime. And then over the weekend, of course, it evolved into we have to investigate Vice President Harrison and Oprah and Beyonce and Al Sharpton because, 'cause they paid him tens of millions of dollars, which didn't happen at all. So

None of it's working. And that, to me, is the most hilarious thing. This kind of shows us why Trump is freaking out. His magic has disappeared for the first time in his political career, maybe his entire life. He's not able to talk his way through or out of a situation. He can't escape it, and he has thrown everything he can at the public to try to move on. Hey, look, I've got these, uh, horrible trade deals. Why don't you talk about these? Nope, we want to talk about Epstein. Oh, I'm, I'm opening up a new golf course. Look at this. Nope, we want to talk about Epstein, but, but, but Harris and Hillary and Obama and Biden, and No, we wanna talk about Epstein. Nothing he is doing is working. And he's never been in a situation like that before. He's never been able to not spin his way out, at least not with his base.
