Trump’s Military Flex Serves as Distraction From the Trump-Epstein Scandal 8/21/25

All of a sudden, Latin American drug cartels are such a pressing problem that the U.S. must deploy military assets? Trump, who has been using the military a lot lately, is ordering 3 warships to go on patrol along the South American coast. Like the recent use of the U.S. Marines and National Guard in LA and the National Guard in DC, it smacks of bringing out the big guns to distract and divert attention from his ties to the Epstein scandal. It’s a double lawyer day on The Mark Thompson Show. Thursday brings former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz to the show. Dimitri Lascaris will swing by to talk politics. He is an attorney, journalist and activist. We’ll ask him why he is motivated to create his popular Reason2Resist YouTube and Substack content.
