An exclusive Drop Site/Zeteo/Data For Progress survey also finds likely American voters are split on whether Trump is more responsive to the American people or to Israel.

A majority of likely American voters believe that Donald Trump launched the war on Iran at least in part to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that had engulfed his presidency, according to a new survey.

The survey found that a solid 52-40 majority of voters agreed with the statement, with the other 8% saying they were unsure as to his motivations. The findings will come as little surprise to a public that has morphed Trump’s codename for the war, Operation Epic Fury, into “Operation Epstein Fury.”

    I don’t think it’s the exclusive reason why, but I do think the mounting interest and pressure that was starting to build made it the perfect time for his handlers to give him the push in that direction

    I always pull out the old chestnut…“If it walks like a rapist pedophile, and it talks like a rapist pedophile, then it’s a rapist pedophile”. Edit: Changed ‘racist’ to ‘rapist’.

    I’ve wondered if Israel knows that the trump regime is destined to fail soon, and pushed America into this for their own interests, which just so happens to help this administration hide the Trumpstein thing.
