    Because Biden’s cognitive decline is news, while Trump’s Epstien connections are not. People on social media think that the recently disclosed Epstien Grand Jury documents name Trump as a co-conspirator and accuse him of raping a 13 year old. In actuality, Trump is not mentioned in the Grand Jury filing, and they are sharing documents from a 2016 civil lawsuit that was dismissed (which doesn’t mean it’s not true, just that it didn’t meet the burden of proof to move forward). For the record, the lawsuit was widely covered by the news at the time.

    Trump admits that he was an associate of Epstien, but his official story is that he and Epstien had a falling out before his 2005 arrest, and he knew nothing of his human trafficking. I’m sure that’s bullshit, but we have no evidence to contradict it. So, there are no MSM articles about Trump’s pedophilia because there is no news to report on it, or even evidence that it ever occurred.
