It seems like a simple decision for Donald Trump’s administration – release files related to the late convicted paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein, or keep them out of public view.
But battles raging among the US president’s supporters in some of the more conspiratorial spaces online suggest that the choice facing Trump is not easy at all.
In those spaces, users argue about whether to trust the White House, and they speculate on what might be going on behind the scenes and Trump’s strategic acumen - which some fans liken to playing a game of “4D chess”.
How does something tear apart that wasn’t even cohesive to begin with?
It’s just a cult filled with hate, fear and anger with no real clear direction other than a group of individuals who all believe that they are more important than any other person including the ones in the angry mob they are standing in.
