TRUMP: “It’s a hoax. Some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net.”
I’m at a loss for words.

LOL. This is classic Trump. Attack anyone who challenges him. It doesn’t matter how long you have supported him, once you are perceived to be disloyal, he gives it to you with both barrels (just ask Elon). It works well when aimed at the Dems. Let’s see what happens now that it is aimed at his supporters.
The fake media works, and you keep repeating it to help them.
YAWN
Too much BS is being spread about this. There are far more important issues facing this nation.
Jeffery Epstein is now facing judgement, as will all the others who have been involved over the decades. The sentence they all face, will be far more devastating than any sentence to be dished out by us humans, guaranteed.
Time to move on, and see what transpires on the issue, as we do so. I do not believe the issue is dead, just being replaced by far more important issues.
So, you believe Epstein was innocent. And Bill and Hillary too?
I’m actually not coming after anyone on this. They all seem to come after me. The same ol vote for Romney/McCain apologist logic, the youre betraying him, you dont trust him. Basically the same tactics women use at men when they are doing something they don’t want the guy to find out about. I’m waiting for the actual crying to start.
We offer honest criticism and comments to friends when we believe they are screwing up, not to destroy them but to get them to see it and get back on course. It seems many “on our side” are ready to lump that into the democrats and others who wish ill on Trump and want his failure. We don’t, we want him To do well, and thats why we are saying this is a problem and he needs to fix it, what hes doing isn’t what he said he’d do and we’re not the enemy.
Yes, he has!
He could have used better verbiage
Yes, he is!
Except that this headline is a mispresentation of what Trump actually said. Trump did not call people who merely want the Epstein files released “stupid.” He didn’t mention anything about those who just want more clarity on this. He was talking about those who believe what he is calling the “Epstein hoax,” i.e. are already convinced of the unproven theories out there that hurt our own side, not just those with an open mind wanting more info released.
He explicitly said he was talking about Republicans who are falling for hoaxes that the Dems want them to in order to hurt and slow down the important work of the administration. He said that those doing the Democrats’ work are “stupid people.”
Everyone needs to stop misrepresenting what he’s talking about and try to start acting a little more reasonably and factually about this whole issue, instead of trying to destroy our own side and our efforts to save the nation on many different fronts based on their speculations.
Baffling. This is a mistake.
I think this is a good idea in theory, but Trump isn't exactly a disciplined speaker, and it is entirely possible he says something wrong and makes the entire situation worse. Because for all those people who normally argue that he should be taken "seriously, not literally", they'll do a 180 in a heartbeat and be taking him very literally if he gives them any more ammo in a live speech about Epstein.
Agree.
Somewhere along the line he got the idea of that he is Maga and created everything. He doesn’t understand the wave that has happened and that he is merely riding it.
Needs to wake up. This is about the third or fourth time he’s flipped the finger to the base. I’m beginning to wonder why he wants to cover up for wealthy and powerful pedophiles and spies.
And I don’t think he participated, but it doesn’t speak well for him that he was close friends with Epstein for several years.
BTW, I believe he is talking about Republican politicians, or more accurately, the RINOs, not supporters.
Right!!!
I see your patience is wearing thin as the months go by on these issues (Look at Syria which you predicted would be a disaster)
Nobody wants Kamala. But that doesn’t mean that Maga doesn’t get to correct Trump when we see the need. He needs to remember, he’s the employee, not the cult leader as everyone continually accuses us of.
you are stupid
you are stupid
