MAGA hats burn as Trump faces major backlash from his own supporters
Daily Mirror ^ | July 11 | Charlie Jones

Posted on 07/11/2025 12:43:47 AM PDT by RandFan

The Justice Department claimed on Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list" and said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public. This was despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.

The claims have been met with fury from the far-right who claim they have been strung along by the Trump administration. Bondi previously said in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review. It comes after a Trump family member revealed the latest disturbing symptom of his "cognitive decline".

Controversial right-wing figure Nick Fuentes wrote on X: "We need to burn our MAGA hats, I think that's a solution. That's the only language Trump will understand. He needs to be abandoned at this point."

Trump came under fire for hosting Fuentes, who has been described as a white supremacist, as a dinner guest at his Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022 as he geared up for the 2024 election.

Fuentes added: "Now he's going to tell us there's no Esptein black book, no client list. The message needs to be this: 'We're done. We don't understand. The radical right is f***ing furious. We are done.'"

He continued: "I'm burning my MAGA hat. I think other people should too."

From the viewpoint of near-term goals, I would tend to agree. However, the implications of what has so far emerged with the Epstein affair point to deeper threats which for the future scare the hell out of me.

The truth of the story, or what we know of it, is so improbable that if someone before this had written a fictional novel about a man who ensnares powerful, wealthy and politically-connected people in immoral and depraved pursuits, and in the process becomes himself powerful and wealthy despite his crimes, it would probably be a NYT best-seller, and likely spawn a movie based on it. Spoiler alert: It ends with the protagonist committing "suicide", and the whole thing being abruptly swept under the rug.

But here we are - it is all too real. It does elicit some questions, that I pray a future eager journalist might take on the needed research to expose the truth.

Questions: What was Epstein's business model, that allowed him to amass his wealth? Was Epstein self-made, or did he have assistance getting started? If he was a successful financier, as has been said, where are the records of his transactions that benefited his clients? Why did his crimes escape detection and prosecution for so long? Why would the elite status of his guests at Epstein Island be so careless with their reputations unless they believed they were protected from exposure? Who were the "Lolita Express" passengers and where did each flight land?

Nixon played the “distraction” card during Watergate and was crushed.

We should have learned something.

President Trump needs to fix this before it destroys the administration.

Its no secret the GOP is their own worst enemy but I just dont see what momentum the left can drum up to outperform the right. Voter fraud is more difficult. Theyre are so desperate that NY is hitching its wagon to a radical muslim communist?

Moral of the story somewhere in all of this is to turn our hearts to trusting the Lord and away from trusting in man.

Do I think Trump is God’s man for this hour? Yes. Do I think Trump is perfect? No.

God uses imperfect man to accomplish his purpose. What purpose? The restoration of America’s Free Constitutional Republic.

Man did not bring our nation to birth, God did. America was God’s idea. The same Divine Providence that miraculously birthed our nation in 1776 with imperfect Founders will miraculously restore our nation now as well.

On top of that, who would underestimate the commie infested federal bureaucracy to the point of thinking they would keep documents and other evidence around that actually could be used against them? Anything like that went to the incinerator, first thing.

The Left is desperate for a Wedge Issue to divide the MAGA crowd. The Epstein situation is frustrating, but not it.

Take off your rose-colored glasses. Brennan, Corey, Clapper, McCabe, et al will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER be held accountable for what they did.

It’s clear that you do not understand that it’s not “the Epstein list” that has caused so much anger among many of us in Trump’s loyal base, it’s the callous — if not immoral — disregard by the DOJ and FBI — with the President’s complicity — to drop the matter of pursuing justice for the hundreds of innocent children who were raped by men whose identities are clearly being withheld by this administration. This is not right, and President Trump must deal with this as the anger will continue to grow as the indifference of his administration continues.

Yes, it’s the lies. And his tone when he said “are you still talking about Epstein?”

Well, yes, we are. No one has been held accountable.

I think that ship has sailed. The division has already happened. Remember, millions of people reluctantly voted for Trump. Not everyone is a blind Trump worshipper.

You might want to check out the Megyn Kelly episodes on Youtube.

The situation is a lot worse than you think it is.

The details matter.

This sixteen minute video is a good place to start:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo_lVGxYPAM

Short summary:

Back in February the White House invites friendly web based “influencers” to visit the WH to give them access to key WH figures. That includes a meeting with Pam Bondi.

It gets bad after that.

Really bad.

“The people” don’t really care about Epstein.

I hope you guys realize that you’re not going to have an anti MAGA or anti Trump effort on FR. If you’re going to do that you need to do it somewhere else.

Are we really supposed to believe that there is a deep-state cabal that is implicated in this whole Epstein thing that is so powerful and capable that they could kill a federal inmate who is being constantly monitored without leaving evidence, and that this same cabal just left all his implicating records just lying around waiting to be found? Of course any records implicating anyone powerful in this are destroyed. They wouldn’t kill Epstein but leave his “black book” or videos just lying about.

Great question.

To answer it we need full disclosure and accountability.

Then we will know.
