The sole reason? That’s over the top. Did it contribute to the feasibility? Of course it did. Aside from loving to play offense, Trump is a master at the distraction(s). He knows ppl are obsessed with him (read: haters are going to hate) and he uses that to his advantage.
But to say this was a cover for the whole Epstein show is overthinking it.
But sure, I’ll entertain your theory… where is all the cocaine coming from then? North? Canada? East? Europe? South East? Africa???

He's an elected head of state. I think an informed electorate would be interested in continuously knowing what he's doing.

Cocaine? Most of it is exported from Colombia and Bolivia if we are talking South America. Venezuela traditionally does not play a major role in international drug trafficking.
Other South American countries such as Paraguay and Brazil likely have a larger role than Venezuela.
> The sole reason? That’s over the top.
Trump has shown multiple times he has no problems in using state apparatus to his own benefit.
He is also an uber narcissist that is affected when the current news cycle is too negative.
Also, Trump has a particular modus operandi, one I actually find to be his main strength - He doesn't flinch of owning his transgressions. People accuse him of tax evasion? He just says that of course he does it.
The Epstein shit is one thing he can't own. What is he going to say? "yeah, I am a pedophile, every billionaire is"? This is the one thing he needs to keep deflecting.
