Trump Calls Epstein Files ‘Democrat Hoax’; Sends Army Judges to Immigration Drama

In the latest episode of Trump vs. Reality, Donald Trump declared the uproar over Jeffrey Epstein's files a 'Democrat hoax that never ends'—because nothing says 'fact-check me' like dismissing a sex scandal as political theater. Meanwhile, courts shut down Trump's dream of using the Alien Enemies Act, a law so dark and misunderstood it might as well be from Game of Thrones. Over in bureaucratic fantasyland, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has green-lit 600 military lawyers to moonlight as temporary immigration judges—because who better to handle deportations than folks trained to fight wars, not paperwork? Mix political farce with judicial improv, and America stays the new reality TV star.
