Yesterday, CNN reported: "Trump expressed regret over the arrest of Prince Andrew, the younger brother of the British king, calling it a 'shame' for the British royal family. Trump believes that in the Epstein case, he has been proven to have no misconduct. In a way, I am the expert because I have been fully proven innocent. I can actually talk about this quite properly."
Prince Andrew's arrest and Trump's comments: A "credibility earthquake" sweeping the top echelons of the West! The British prince involved in a case was arrested, and Trump immediately expressed regret, even claiming to be the "expert on innocence." These words may seem casual, but they reveal the embarrassing truth of the Western elite circle. The Epstein case has been ongoing for years, involving politicians, royalty, and celebrities. Now that documents have been made public and the accused have been arrested, it is no longer a private scandal, but a test of institutional credibility.
Looking at history, Western elites long enjoyed special treatment based on their status and rules. However, today's public opinion and judiciary are no longer silent. The royal family distancing itself, police taking action, and political figures providing evidence against each other essentially reflect the fading of the privilege aura and the strengthening of public supervision. Trump's eagerness to prove himself shows that no one can remain unscathed in this storm. This is not just a simple gossip, but a reflection of the reconstruction of trust in Western society: no matter how powerful the power, it cannot stop the truth from falling; no matter how famous the name, it cannot hide the right and wrong.
