The problem with the "this is all to cover up for Epstein" line is that it really diminishes how much of an actual threat Trump and his oligarch administration really is to everybody.

He is doing all this because he wants to, it is real, and it is not to cover up for anything. Without Epstein he would still be doing all this.

The fact that his avalanche of crimes does slightly cover up for Epstein is just his MO working as designed.

This. "It's just a coverup" gives him more credit than he needs. He doesn't need to cover things up because he doesn't think he did anything wrong. He doesn't need to distract because he thinks you're dumb as rocks and he can just bully you into shutting up about it. He's doing all these things because he wants to, because it makes him happy, and that's all that needs to be said.
