The reason there is a focus on a 14 second golf video clip with zero context analysis and sweeping assumptions is that the left is desperate to "get" Trump. They are losing politically in America and worldwide, and this among the little they have left.
A similar phenomena is occurring with the Epstein narrative. In the liberal news articles Trump's name has always been brought up either first or second as a powerful friend of Epstein. The left has been trying to portray Trump as a participant for years, and keep using that old picture of them standing together as their "evidence".
However, the only way to get Trump involved is to create a broad assertion that anyone associated with Epstein is an affiliated pedo client participant and that his scheme was bigger and involved more people. This is why the Democrats are pushing this mass-pedophile-ring theory.
Look up the Juliette Rose Bryant interview, she is a Epstein victim and says the claims are false:

"like you know with the Epstein story. Look how they've lied to us about the Epstein story and where are all the victims? You know, victims aren't able to speak out. Like they won't interview me, the media. They just won't. So, you know, and that's why, you know, 200 victims claim from the fund, but where are the victims? And people want to blame the victims. They want to say, "Oh, these girls were made to have sex with the government and the politicians." And that's not true because I didn't see. Well, I mean, as far as my story goes, that's not true. I didn't see any girls being got um trafficked to politicians or anything. They've completely lied about it. I was never trafficked to anyone other than Epstein when I was taken there. There's a lot more going on and they're trying to cover it up. They've labeled it as sex trafficking."
Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for supplying girls to Epstein, not to other people. The dispositions of the sex trafficking victims were released publicly, and surprise, they do not describe a mass-trafficking ring with many Johns. See this link:
https://d.newsweek.com/en/file/468909/jeffrey-epstein-documents-full.pdfIn the above link there are at least a dozen girls who say that they were sex trafficked only to Epstein. The only other involved people that are brought up in these interviews are a couple of Epstein's close friends like Prince Andrew and the Victoria's Secret guy, who already had public lawsuits surrounding this. Considering this, what reason is there to believe in the theory which involves many celebrities and politicians? The reason this narrative is pushed, along with pictures of Trump and Epstein at a celebrity event, is because this narrative is desperate and almost completely manufactured.
The left's response to this is to say that the victimized girls were too afraid of the powerful johns to mention them to the police, but were not afraid of sleezy multi-millionaire Jeffery Epstein enough to implicate him directly. This, of course, is laughable.
