Following Congress's call for the release of all Jeffrey Epstein files, former US President Donald Trump engaged in a series of high-profile distractions, aiming to divert attention from the matter. As his poll ratings plummet, Trump relies on distractions, including hosting FIFA's Infantino and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, while lashing out at opponents with dangerous rhetoric.

Trump's actions reflect the mounting pressure he faces, with recent polls indicating a decrease in his favorability and a significant advantage for Democrats heading into midterm elections. The former president seems to be doubling down on his divisive tactics as he struggles to maintain his grip on power.

Internal dissent within the Republican Party also poses a new challenge for Trump. With loyalists like Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking out against him, Trump's once-tight control over the GOP may be weakening. As these fractures deepen, Trump may be facing a challenging political landscape ahead.
