President Donald Trump met with reporters in Scotland on Monday to tout his new trade deal with the European Union. Accompanied by United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump held court for more than an hour, taking questions on trade, China, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and more.

One subject that barely came up, about 50 minutes into the news conference, was the dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Spoiler alert: No news was made on that front.

If you follow things, you're probably seeing a lot of stories suggesting some sort of undefined scandal involving Trump and Epstein, who were friends in the 1990s and remained so until 2004, two years before Epstein was first charged with a crime. You're seeing it not because reporters have discovered new information to change the substance of what is already known. Still, because Democrats and their allies in the media hope that repetition of the story will bring down Trump's approval rating and perhaps shake loose some currently unknown, damaging revelation they hope exists.

At least so far, it's not working, and a new poll shows how far Democrats........
