Summary
Epstein isn’t going away—and thanks to Melania Trump’s bizarre press statement, it just hijacked the entire week. What was supposed to be about Iran and a ceasefire is now back to the one story that won’t die: Epstein, power, and the questions still hanging over Donald Trump. Rick Wilson breaks down the PR meltdown, the failed pivots, and why Epstein has become the permanent elephant in the room—because in 2026, this isn’t just a scandal anymore… it’s the whole damn story. • • • • • Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com .
