Vanity Fair: 'Epstein's Ghost' Is 'Calling All the Shots' for Trump

Former ABC reporter Tara Palmeri's Halloween-in-February hot take in Vanity Fair, "Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House," certainly falls within the realm of fantasy. "Epstein has effectively risen from the dead to dominate Trump’s presidency and threaten his legacy."

Atlantic Magazine Shatters Liberal Myth that Trump is Putin's Puppet

A recent Atlantic article by Thomas Graham and Alan Cullison debunks the claim that Trump is controlled by Putin.
