I think we 'defend' Trump too soon. We should 'set the hook' first.
Let them convince themselves that going to the island was evil.
Them: "Trump was also on Epstein's plane!"
You: "So, going down to that island was a BAD thing?"
Them: "Of course! They did really evil things down there!"
You: "Actually, that only applies to YOUR heroes, not Trump. He hitched a ride on the plane one time (from FL to NY), but never went to the island. Would you like to talk about those who DID go down there? You know, the people that YOU just said were doing 'really evil things'?"
If all we ever do is explain that he 'once hitched a ride', we never lead them down the path to realize that the other names did something truly evil.
If you have any other ideas/refinements, please add them...
My understanding is that Trump got wind of what he was doing and is actually the one who turned him in. That when they subpoenaed the others for statements, Trump wasn't subpoenaed because he had already told them everything he knew.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
True, but this thread is about how to address the sheep to awaken them
