Nope. Not really. All this random multitasking, all the constant never ending bullshit. It's all actually 1 task.
That 1 task is called "Distract everybody from the epstein files"
Would he even lose his existing base at this point though?
I honestly think the vast majority would drop him. Its their hard line. For now they're denying he's in there. But hia plummeting popularity show that some republicans are in agreement that trump is guilty. Which is why they've stopped supporting him in recent years.
So I think his base would dramatically shrink. But not die.
