The chance of Trump outshining Putin at the press conference is equal to the chance he will release the Epstein files. However, it is likely he will announce two new hotels in Russia.

Not sure this is the right political strategy. Yes, it keeps the Epstein files in the news (where are they?) which is fine, but it also keeps the Bidens in the news, which is not wise. We need to move on to young and fresh Democrats who can create a new and energetic vision for the party.
