How bad was the Epstein Files scandal for Trump? On alt-platforms, the answer was “pretty darn bad.” openmeasures.io/epstein-files/

On other online platforms (message boards....old people stuff) I can say that Epstein + Trump totally deflated the Pro Trump folks. Its a very informal and unreliable dataset (me) but thats what I see
