Patience thins among MAGA loyalists for Trump to meet demands on Epstein
BBC News ^ | Kayla Epstein

West Pittston, just outside of the industrial centre of Scranton, Pennsylvania, has a classic smalltown-American look. There are clapboard houses, a main drag with businesses bearing charming vintage patina and lampposts bearing flags of the town's military veterans. And MAGA faithful. On Wednesday, in 85F (30C) weather, they lined the streets outside Don's Machine Shop where JD Vance spoke, touting President Donald Trump's recent legislative victory, what he calls his Big Beautiful Bill.

But a lawn sign nearby as the US vice-president spoke pointed to an additional priority on their minds - a rare backlash against the Trump presidency from his own supporters. "WHERE IS THE LIST???" the sign read - a reference to the release of the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files, a purported tranche of government documents on the disgraced financier and sex offender. There is a rumoured "client list" of Epstein's famous friends that has fixated conspiracy theorists.

Chrissy Matticks echoed Trump's assessment, pinning the blame for the Epstein debacle on Democrats. "I don't care. Democrats should have released it when Biden was president," she told BBC on Wednesday. "Democrats are just using it as a political football." She was far more focused on Trump's performance in passing the budget bill and deporting undocumented immigrants in a sweeping crackdown. "I'd say, to our MAGA base: Have faith in President Trump."

Seriously don't care about Epstein or a list.

Care about what a great job Trump is doing, running the country

Idiots need to stop their whining and tantrum-throwing and make their own lists. That’s all they are ever going to get anyway. We couldn’t even put the Biden crime family in jail. How are we going to get somebody on a list. “Perp walks” are just myths in America. Wet dreams.

And the left is salivating like one of Pavlov’s dogs over the thought of the MAGA movement imploding.

NOT giving them the satisfation.

What a bunch of knuckleheads.... there’s a list alright.... a list of accomplishments that no President in my lifetime has been able to do... and the list is getting larger by the day, week, month.

This is a self inflicted wound by the Trump admin. There is no good way out.

I’m caring less and less about the list as the days go by. But I do REALLY LIKE the idea of Obama’s criminals (the white guys in his cabinet), like Brennan, Comey, and Clapper, being under investigation and if indicted, then it more than makes up for Epstein, at least in my book.

(never Trumpers may feel differently, though)

So nice to see the UK’s Deep State is continuing to freak out.

There’s a very good reason that the UK is refusing to allow Pres. Trump to speak before Parliament, isn’t there ..

And that the UK just allowed to YOs to vote.

This is NOT about Epstein.

You don’t think calling your supporters “conspiracy theorists” and “stupid” is a good plan?

You must be a weakling and a traitor to the cause.

Lol.

Epstein is a distraction, meant to confuse the issue and to generate an artificial fissure within the top ranks of the DOJ, sowing discord and another made-up concern.

There may or may not be an identifiable list anywhere, if one ever existed that was in the hands of the FBI, it may very well have been shredded long ago. The FBI was not always in the hands of Team Trump, you know. Nor was the DOJ.

When part of the MAGA base sits on their hands during the midterms just remember...you had the purity test and kicked them to the curb.

I want the files.

If they are fake then let the President prove it.

I will not be bluffed.

I will not be gaslit.

I will not be intimidated.

There are many more just like me in MAGA.

Done with fools like you.

Anyone turning on DJT over an Epstein list was NEVER a Trump or MAGA supporter.

In fact I’d say they’re a damn liar.
