Media Keeping Epstein Alive While Burying Real Achievements
While the mainstream press obsesses over Jeffrey Epstein and internal GOP infighting, they’re systematically overlooking some of Donald Trump’s most consequential achievements during his second term.
First, Crouere highlights the secure border America hasn’t had in years. Trump reversed what he calls Biden-era negligence, curbed illegal immigration, and prioritized the removal of criminals—reportedly deporting nearly 100,000 noncitizens by June 24, about 70 percent of whom had criminal records.
Second, Crouere spotlights economic momentum: surging stock indices, rising manufacturing sentiment, and renewed domestic production under an “America First” doctrine. Yet despite these tangible gains, the media fixates on scandal and conspiracy.
Crouere argues that the nonstop coverage of Epstein-linked controversies—including Ghislaine Maxwell and unverified rumors of pardons—functions as a narrative control mechanism to distract from Trump’s policy success. He asserts mainstream outlets are suppressing stories of border enforcement victories, law-and-order outcomes, and pro-worker initiatives.
For seasoned political commentators who’ve tracked the Epstein saga from the beginning, Crouere’s voice offers a crucial corrective: the conservative coalition’s priorities are shifting beneath their feet. The appetite for justice abuses remains strong—but only so long as it doesn’t overshadow results on tangible, national priorities. In the context of the Trump era, he warns that the GOP’s accomplishments can be obscured by scandal-driven noise.
Crouere is available for interviews or guest commentary to expand on:
- How media fixation on Epstein-related drama helps drown out conservative policy wins.
- Why immigration figures and deportation rates matter politically—even when headlines ignore them.
- The risk of internal media battles distracting from legislative achievements on trade, energy, and labor.
- The disconnect between popular base enthusiasm and media narratives.
In an era defined by clickbait scandal coverage, Crouere argues conservatives deserve better attention to performance, not just personalities. His column is a starting point—his commentary could be an essential voice pushing back on media groupthink at a critical moment.
