At Mar-a-Lago, Florida, former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly mulling over the idea of releasing the Department of Justice's Epstein Files. Despite refusing to comment on his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump is drawn to the idea of having his name splashed across media outlets, even if it means causing chaos among his billionaire allies.
Trump has been overheard contemplating the release, noting how frequently his name appears in the files, and the immense media coverage it would generate. "Sure, it might end my presidency, but think of the TV time," Trump was quoted as saying while watching cable news coverage of himself.
White House insiders have noted that Trump's name is mentioned so many times in the secret files that it's almost irresistible for him not to publicize them. His need for attention is so strong that his name is even inserted into security briefings to ensure he pays attention.
While Trump has a knack for knowing what information to keep under wraps, the temptation of seeing his name in print might just be too much to resist. Sources say that the dopamine rush from such publicity could be overwhelming for him.
As of now, Trump is still weighing his options, but insiders say he might settle for less risky notoriety by imposing exaggerated tariffs on Canada. Meanwhile, his fixation with seeing his name in any form of print continues to amuse those around him, as evidenced by a story of him staring at a misspelled word that resembled his name for hours.
