Paul Craig Roberts: Trump's Biggest Mistake-The Epstein Saga

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

  1. What is your interpretation of Trump’s stance on U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war?
  2. How do you see the impact of Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on global trade dynamics?
  3. What role do you think Netanyahu played during his meetings with Trump?
  4. How credible do you find the idea that Trump might be influenced by powerful interest groups?
  5. What are your thoughts on the potential consequences of withholding the Epstein client list?


Paul Craig Roberts:

  1. Trump is not ending the war but shifting financial responsibility to Europe, ensuring military profits continue.
  2. Tariffs have no real impact on Russia but will anger other nations and accelerate de-dollarization.
  3. Netanyahu may have pressured Trump to suppress Epstein-related files that could expose high-level connections.
  4. The "deep state" and corporate interests clearly constrain Trump, neutralizing many of his promises within months.
  5. Withholding the Epstein files protects powerful elites, undermines trust in government, and reveals systemic corruption.
