Well, he did it. He finally found a way to get people to stop talking about the Epstein Files and all it took was a new war, increased prices on goods, and the threat of nuclear annihilation.

He didn't even do that. I spent a few hours just last night talking Epstein stuff with a friend. Plus stuff that came out of the files make me genuinely believe that Israel is pulling Trump's strings to begin with, and this is likely all still Epstein fallout. Whether it's just more billionaire shenanigans or outright blackmail being held over Trump's head. Even speculation Epstein was an agent for Israel. Epstein isn't gone, it's actually more and more apparently involved in more than we ever knew.

[Just one-third of the public](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/politics/donald-trump-iran-war-white-house-speech-cnn-poll?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=listnook) believes President Donald Trump has a clear plan to handle the situation in Iran, according to [a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/27966054-cnn-poll-conducted-by-ssrs-war-in-iran/), underscoring the deep skepticism ahead of his Wednesday night White House address on the war. Americans’ already broad disapproval of US military action in Iran has grown since the start of the war, the poll found. Just 34% of Americans now say they approve at least somewhat of the US decision to take military action in Iran, down 7 points from a CNN poll conducted just after the start of the war. Disapproval has risen to 66%, with strong opposition climbing 12 points to 43%. With a growing share of the public now calling a long-term military conflict between the US and Iran at least somewhat likely, most Americans are wary of deepening involvement. A 71% majority say they’d oppose Congress authorizing spending $200 billion to fund further US military action in Iran, as the Pentagon has proposed. A similar 68% are opposed to sending ground troops into Iran. Democrats and independents remain broadly opposed to the US deploying ground troops, but Republicans also break narrowly against the idea. Even Republicans identifying themselves as part of the “Make America Great Again” movement tilt against ground troops: 32% oppose the idea while 25% favor it. Among non-MAGA Republicans, 56% oppose it, with 20% in favor.
