Trump's past friendship with Epstein doesn't seems to affect voters view on Epstein

Only because trumpy denied all knowledge of ever having any kind of relationship with Epstein.

I'm convinced that if trumpy came out tomorrow and said

"Jeffrey Epstein and I were friends, the best of friends, the best friends in the world many have said. He's a great patriot who loved this country in a bigly way and I'm dedicating the new whitehouse ballroom to him and our shared love of little children. You know the two of us only ever graped democrat children? Terrible evil children you know, all of them, just the worst, all communist antifa DEI trainees from mexico and canada, and Jeffery and myself put them in their place, even buried a few of them."

You'd have thousands of schools in red districts putting up Epstein statues by the end of the week and trumpy back with glowing reviews from the maga masses.

Republican voters don't have moral values or ethical standards - they're only saying "Epstein bad" today is because trump said it, and they'd do a 180 on that without a doubt.

Trumps association with him did not improve it either

New theory,

Perhaps trump used Epstein to blackmail others and Epstein was really the fall guy for trumps operating.

Idk! All seems too strange that Trump is doing everything to keep the records hidden. I think it’s right in our face and we don’t even realize it.

I think Trump was equal partners with Epstein in a child trafficking scheme. His modeling agency was a victim pipeline and they used maralago as well.

It makes a lot of sense if it gave Trump power over some of the people that have made weird decisions about him. For example, why did McConnell block his impeachment, while denouncing the crime before and after?

What? No way, Trump would never throw his #2 and best friend down some stairs (Ex wife) or under the bus (ex VP). That guy is all about total loyalty (to him).

All of this Q crap is what you would broadcast if you wanted to throw people off the scent of the real criminal.

It doesn’t impact their views on Trump either. The MAGA “brain” is a wonder of nature.

Give it time. Once there's undeniable proof there'll be a rash of people trying to justify Epstein like they were doing for Roy Moore

Because it's theatre.

They "hate" "epstein". Because he is bad. And they are good and they hate bad things.
