Why doesn't Trump just say "My name was in the Epstein Files and I did have a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. I was unaware of his illegal activities, cut him off as soon as I found out, and I am not implicated in these files," and then just release his edited version of the files with Obama and Clinton? His base would 100% eat that shit up. I don't think he was even really on the island (he raped kids in his own time). But his constant dodgineess and deflection and the demeaning of his own supporters is a huge sign that something is going down.
