Remember when Trump was SO OVER because he wouldn't release the Epstein Files?

Welp, turns out it's not really as big of an issue as people thought it was.

It seems the effort by the media and the Democrats to paint Trump as a pedo protecter have utterly failed.

Google searches for Epstein down 89% vs. three weeks ago ... it is no longer the top term searched alongside Donald Trump's name ... The American people's interest in this story, it's quickly become something of a nothingburger.

The CNN cohost tries to say this is a result of "out of sight, out of mind" while ignoring some very, very basic truths about this story. It has not been out of sight, at all, and CNN and the big networks have made sure of that.

Turns out, voters just don't care as much as some thought they did. Maybe you think that's a bad thing ... or a good thing ... but either way, Trump is more popular now than he was at this point in his first term.

The Epstein Files seem to be a very, very online thing that right-wingers are totally obsessed with, but normies just don't seem to care about.

ZERO Democrats and ZERO independents considered Epstein a top issue. Not even one person polled. And only 1 person in the Republican party considered it the top issue.

I'll leave you with this from CNN's Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten:

Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician I've seen and on this particular issue you see it well, full, and clear. Because he has been saying, you know, this is not an issue and it turns out a lot of the American public actually seem to agree with him.
