Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."

The bottom panel is metal.

It's the AT that's all plastic except the internal plates.

Yeah, metal bottom plate, plastic top. Only worth something if you're willing to convert that odd layout
