You're right, but I'll attempt to offer an explanation on why people are extra pissy.
Humans, in general, despise being lied to. There's something inherent about being deceived that drives them mad, even if learning the truth would cause them more suffering.
A good example I can think of is a scenario where a man is cheating on his wife. The wife would have less suffering if she were to go to her grave never knowing she was cheated on, but most people would prefer she learn the truth regardless.

Hold on, so saying you'll release a rape list and then not doing it for whatever reason is worse than having said rape list for 4 years straight and never releasing or even talking about it? Those seem pretty equally bad to me.

For all we know the reason Trump is fucking this entire thing up right now is because the list literally doesn't exist anymore after 4 years of shredding and he's trying and completely failing to save face.

I have a better question. Why not release the list Term 1? Because he had it then. Either it never existed or it got burned with a Zippo lighter the moment the FBI found it

So which is it? Is Trump doing a 180 now? Or did Trump hire a deputy director and director of the FBI who were dumb enough to fall for a Democrat Fake News psyop?

He's also dumb enough to have a VP who campaigned on it and a son who supported the release of the files relentlessly. Trump unironically is losing it. We're watching a mental breakdown in real time. I'm really curious how this will pan out, considering that he's surrounded himself with sycophants but those sycophants have also been pushing for the release of the Epstein files for years now.
 
Bernie's looking rough here, but he's finally getting something right. Maybe he's just lost his mind totally or something.

Bernie is just one of the handful of Dems--sorry, Independents--who is pragmatic enough to sense which way the wind is blowing. Similar to Kamala, whom he even commented on when she pulled this during the campaign, he's just pivoting to try to win votes.
