Every time a new detail about President Donald Trump's friendship with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerges, the story gets worse and worse. But when all the recent developments are laid out together, it's on another level.

"The reason why this controversy is hitting so close to home and rattling Trump's MAGA base is that they cast themselves as warriors against the elites," says Meyers, "but it turns out they elected an elite who's covering up for other elites."
