4. Reminds me of the corrupt tailors in "The Emperor and His Clothes"

(Hans Christian Andersen)

Synopsis: The tailors contract with the emperor to create the most fantastic garments. Unlike anything ever seen. Here's the catch: The clothes are so magical that only wise and intelligent can see them.

And there's a parade of the emperor wearing these amazing garments. The tailors go through the motions of dressing the emperor, but in fact, there's nothing. The emperor sees that he's naked, but doesn't want to appear stupid and praises their craft.

The townspeople see their emperor parading naked in the streets, but again, they don't want to appear stupid, so they cheer loudly.

Finally a little boy who didn't get the memo, exclaims "The Emperor has no clothes!"

Trump trying to tell MAGA only intelligent people will discard Epstein, only because he's proclaimed it to be Truth.
