CNN’s Harry Enten found an issue where President Donald Trump has even less support than his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The Department of Justice still hasn’t complied with the Epstein Transparency Act and released investigative files on the late sex offender and longtime Trump friend, but Enten told “CNN News Central” that interest in that topic has declined as the 79-year-old president targets Greenland for takeover.
“So this is the whole idea – the president of United States didn’t like the focus on the Epstein files,” Enten said. “We’re going to change the subject and we’re going to go over to Greenland, and from that perspective, it’s worked. Look at this: Google searches versus December for the Epstein files down through the floor. Far fewer people are searching for Epstein files, down 72 percent. Of course, you can’t fall any lower than down being 100 percent versus for Greenland. Look at this: The highest on record, up like a rocket, almost up 1,600 percent. My goodness gracious.”
“So if the idea was to distract from the Epstein files and focus the American people on something else,” he added, “it has been a success by that metric.”
Host John Berman cautioned that there was no proof that Trump’s intensified push for Greenland was related to the Epstein matter, but Enten pointed out that it was even less popular with the public.
“If this was the idea, right, well, it’s a bad idea politically speaking,” Enten said. “Why do I say that? Because take a look here: Trump’s approval rating on the Epstein files, look at that, just absolutely awful – 38 points below water. But any try to buy Greenland is somehow even more unpopular. Look at this: It’s 40 points below water. There is barely an issue out there that’s worse for Donald Trump than the Epstein files, but any attempts to buy Greenland or use military force on Greenland, which even polls worse than this, is one of them. It is arguably the most unpopular thing that Donald Trump can try to do is mess with Greenland.“
“So Greenland is polling worse than the Epstein,” Berman marveled.
