Did Anyone Really Like Charlie Kirk? Trump Didn't. Not a Shock.

By the time the Internet caught up with Kirk's racism, the GOP was all in. Now it's "who's Charlie?"

This podcast argues that Trump’s chaotic second term is a calculated distraction from his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Powell contends that Trump has manufactured crises—bombing campaigns, bizarre file releases, international provocations—to divert attention from damaging Epstein revelations that won’t fade as expected.

The piece centers on Charlie Kirk’s murder and its aftermath as Trump’s ultimate distraction tool. Powell’s shock at Kirk’s instant canonization, given his documented history of racism and white nationalism. Federal officials staged elaborate grief performances at his memorial, while Attorney General Pam Bondi threatened prosecution for “hate speech” against Kirk—ironically, a concept Kirk himself denied existed.

The manufactured outrage included JD Vance’s tearful podcast appearance and attempts to silence critic Jimmy Kimmel. However, the strategy collapsed when people began sharing Kirk’s actual record online, puncturing the martyr narrative with his own words.
