| Trump Proposes Lowering Age of Adulthood Amid Shocking Epstein Scandal |
Specifically, Trump compared current events to the Cold War, but his expression and details were inaccurate, leading to many questions about his ability to recall historical information. Many experts believe that such statements could be a warning sign of cognitive decline in old age.
Trump's proposal immediately met with strong reactions from legal experts and child protection organizations. They warned that lowering the age of majority could open up legal loopholes, weakening protections for minors from the risk of abuse. “This is a dangerous move, especially given the ongoing cases of Epstein and others like him,” said a child rights lawyer.
Trump’s political allies, meanwhile, have said the proposal could be a way to “redefine the legal responsibility of youth,” allowing them to be held accountable sooner for civil and financial matters. But the public largely sees it as a publicity stunt, with details of how the new law would be implemented still unclear.
The Epstein scandal has been going on for years, involving allegations of underage sex trafficking with prominent figures. Trump's emergence in this context has made the debate about personal responsibility, law and morality in American society hotter than ever.
Legal experts say that any change in the age of adulthood requires careful consideration, based on scientific research on the psychosocial development of minors, while ensuring their rights and safety.
