President Donald Trump seems unfamiliar with the Streisand effect, the phenomenon of inadvertently drawing more attention to an issue by trying to make it go away.
The president on Wednesday unleashed another rant on Truth Social, claiming, without evidence, that Democrats are behind the uproar over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Referring to Democrats, Trump wrote on social media that their “new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.” He then appeared to turn on his own supporters: “My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

First you open with nothing but insult
Then reach for a straw man
Deep tinker I see
“But I’m no idiot for thinking there was child rape and a ring of pedo’s operating on Epstein’s Island. Even Trump promoted that story.”
_______________
But all of the evidence was in the hands of a corrupt DOJ and CIA for years.
You think they didn’t tamper with it?
That’s what President Trump means when he calls it the Epstein hoax, and you would be an idiot if you fell for it.
President Trump has sone flashes on genius in his orchestration of the opposition. This is a discordant note in that orchestra, IMHO.
I do not doubt there are good (for the government) reasons why the administration has changed course, but the “there is nothing to show” stance they are using to justify it is not believable.
It is also not believable that AG Pam Bondi has the client list on her desk.
I am concerned that the “good reasons” to not disclose are to protect the government - either here or abroad in a close ally or three. The lack of candor, and contrasting narratives from different segments of the administration, defies the established expectation that Trump will do what he has said.
Governments have to retain SOME secrets. The reason for retaining them should be clear. This may be such a secret that wandered too close to the light.
I was surprised Trump would allow himself and the situation to look so bad, but lately I think his actions are not to end the conversation about epstein, but a chance he purposely pivoted so others would speak up.
Something about the more you tell people its not important the more they think it is and wont let it go and something gets exposed but that person appears more detached than if they didnt say let it go ahead of whatever gets exposed.
Somebody said in a week new or big things would happen.
IOW, you agree with Mother Jones magazine.
Thank you Mother Jones. When MAGA sees the a-holes at Mother Jones pile on it will brings us off the ledge.
This is bs.
This entire argument that one must support or defend anything a person does is ridiculous. That’s not loyalty, it’s a cult.
he needs to put the shovel down and start wiping off the clown makeup
NYT, DailyBeast, Mother Jones. All the leftie media going 100% after Trump, and many of our side are helping them, instead of trusting the man.
Amnesty is a hill to die on issue, Epstien is not.
Until Trump team did an about face on this issue the left barely brought it up
Gee I wonder why?
Trump was I guess made an offer or threat he couldn’t refuse
I hate seeing pedos get away with it again esp Clinton and likely Gates
The statecraft possible malfeasance with a honeypot is second to me
Trump got stopped on this it sure looks like
I'll say it again...Why didn't Biden release the Epstein files.
Remember....it seemed like a miracle...that all of a sudden....the FBI had thousands of pages of Epstein files.
FBI = Comey...
That became boilerplate after Trump won in 2016. Whenever he was quoted, the phrase "without evidence" was automatically attached.
Previous to Trump, anytime a politician said something, it was simply recited. Bush said X. Clinton said Y. McCain said this. Obama said that.
But when Trump was elected, he was apparently supposed to carry a box of "evidence" for every statement. If he said, "It's a nice day," he was expected to supply weather reports and surveys proving that most people regarded such weather to be "nice."
“”NYT, DailyBeast, Mother Jones. All the leftie media going 100% after Trump, and many of our side are helping them, instead of trusting the man.””
Yeah, they are gleefully using this to divide and conquer, and it’s only going to get worse from here, I suspect. They’re using this as their “blood in the water” moment to skew the next two elections and some on our side are just dumb enough to help them succeed, sadly.
Great question.
No way. Stage phony documents? NEVER!
She hasn't talked yet.
And after what happened to Epstein, she might be too afraid to talk.
I sdon’t like what Yrump is doing with a list, so I’m going to sit and watch while the left torches America is what you are saying.
Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“some on our side are just dumb enough to help them succeed”
You are talking about the administration which keeps making blunder after blunder after blunder on this matter...?
