And a lot of the questions were about Epstein.

Trump now is doing that thing that he does where he spins his wheels and puts out a lot of messages on social media about it.

But this is clearly a thing that he would like to just go away.

He has said as much going back to July.

And he just hasn't been able to make it go away, in part because a lot of Republicans...

including in Congress, feel like they owe it to their voters to get these answers.

And as a reminder, there are victims.

There are victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

He was a convicted sex offender.

There are people whose lives have forever been changed by what happened to them related to Jeffrey Epstein.

And so a lot of people are framing this not necessarily about Trump, but about justice for the victims.

And there are a few things that seem to make Trump as visibly irritated as this issue does.

You know, so many other things he seems to, you know, have a certain kind of alacrity in trying to change the subject on and trying to sort of finesse his way about.

This one he seems much more visibly irritated about.

And there aren't, like I said, that many things that seem to get under his skin the way the Epstein story does.

Now, all of this comes as the White House faces another separate challenge, and that is the economy.

Inflation hasn't gone away.

The labor market is weak.
