Depressingly, the minds that matter in this case are those of the portion of the US electorate who voted for him.

I promise that voting block is more likely to be appalled by verified sexually abuse of minors, than they would be of military/colonial activities.

Doing what he is doing keeps the MAGA faithful focused on their fondness for violent nationalistic xenophobia and distracted from their pearl clutching puritanical offense at sexual offenses.

He’s getting better at distracting us from the Epstein Files.
