As usual with Trump, nobody who cared had any power, and nobody who had any power cared. I expect that's how it'll play out this time... just another missed swing at the mad king.
It doesn’t feel like it because with each fracturing off of the moderate end of MAGA (insofar as that exists), the core gets more committed, more extreme, and therefore more vocal.
This is on its way to being a very small but extreme group of citizens and a fairly large and extreme group of politicians (since backing up isn’t as easy as removing a yard sign and avoiding the topic in social engagements).
But it's really just independent people here and there, and mostly framed around some (typically partisan) polemic. Really leaves me scratching my head.
And more!
I also wouldn't be surprised if Trump's order to open an investigation into Democrats named in the documents, in a blatantly-transparent attempt to get them back under seal, turns out to be a bridge too far. At some point, maybe even the most diehard MAGAs will realize that he's insulting their intelligence.
Meanwhile, reports say that he has been cowering in the White House all day, blasting show tunes at high volume, as he is apparently wont to do when stressed.
Someone get shazam on this! I need a playlist.

Gee, I wonder who that could be without a difficult investigation.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/unsubstantiated-trump-child-rape-... seems a surprisingly good article about it, despite it being Yahoo.
I imagine it's still possible that it really happened, but it seems more likely that it was false
The court documents referencing Johnson were filed in California and New York but were dismissed or withdrawn due to lack of credibility and proper legal standing. The plaintiff provided false contact information, including the address of a foreclosed home, and repeatedly failed to appear for scheduled press conferences despite promises to do so.
The claims were tied to Norm Lubow, a former producer for "The Jerry Springer Show," who used the pseudonym Al Taylor to promote the allegations.
Lubow admitted to Snopes in 2024 that he was behind the Al Taylor persona and had helped draft the initial lawsuit and publicize the claims, though he maintained the story was true.

Ultimately Lubow recruited a patent lawyer to run the case who also apparently never met her. Then a real lawyer set up a press conference for her. This was the first time any journalist got to meet her in person - and it was the Daily Mail. They reported it was all made up and the case and “Katie Johnson” disappeared forever.
But still it keeps coming up again and again, because people really want to believe their political enemies are evil. I guess it’s no different than the conspiracy theories Clinton was killing people. I just hope we as a country get better.
