Focusing the entire Jeffrey Epstein scandal on Donald Trump is a trap because it narrows a sprawling, decades-long criminal conspiracy into a single political talking point. Epstein’s network reached across party lines, continents, and industries—Wall Street, academia, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, royal families, and multiple presidential administrations. Reducing that to “Trump and Epstein” not only misrepresents the scale of the system that enabled Epstein but also gives cover to the countless other powerful figures who benefited from his operations or protected him. By making Trump the centerpiece, the conversation stops being about systemic corruption and becomes yet another partisan grudge match, which is exactly how real accountability gets buried.

It’s also a trap because it polarizes the public into camps before any real investigation even begins. Once the scandal is framed as “Epstein = Trump,” critics and defenders dig in along predictable political lines, and survivors’ voices get drowned out in the noise of culture-war talking points. This allows institutions—from banks to universities to intelligence agencies—to skate by without scrutiny because everyone’s busy arguing over one man’s photo ops or flight logs. Epstein’s story is not a Trump story; it’s a story about a global blackmail network operating with impunity. Making it about Trump alone hands the very system that enabled Epstein the easiest out imaginable.
