One of Donald Trump’s popular campaign promises was to work on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, so we could see how many people still in power were clients of the infamous child trafficker. In a new mystifying message, Trump not only supported his attorney general in not releasing the files; he bashed his own base.
Voters love Trump for defying the Deep State, for promising to drain the swamp, for vowing to track down criminals — especially child abusers. He was elected on promises of enforcing the law against criminals. Now Attorney General Pam Bondi is claiming that the Epstein files are just a myth, even though she had previously claimed they were sitting on her desk (apparently Epstein’s guilty plea to child prostitution and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell’s 20-year prison sentence for conspiring with him to abuse minors were accidents). The truly shocking part is that Trump is backing Bondi. We saw this sort of debacle play out with Richard Nixon. Trump should not make the same mistake.
Furious MAGA voters expected Trump to ask Bondi to resign, or at least to rebuke her and remind her of his campaign promise—one that many voters were enthused about—because child exploitation by elites is a topic that riles most Americans, especially since many of the victims and elites in this case are still alive. Instead of reading the room, figuratively speaking, and sitting Bondi down for a talk, Trump posted a message on Truth Social that contradicts his former comments and has already garnered backlash, with both X and Truth Social exploding as Trump voters decried the message.

Trump has explained why he wont mass release a large file of data that can be cherrypicked and manipulated to politically, socially or financially ruin innocent folks lives who may not actually be pedophiles, but be in the files. Maybe we could all remember Trump is now what? 6 months in? Maybe they are still investigating things? Looking to filter out only those that should be exposed? Who knows? Either way its certainly not as cut and dried as you make it out to be. It obviously complicated. And certainly not as important as lots of folks are crying about. Trump is still keeping more promises than any Pres Ive ever seen. Maybe people should look at things in relative terms. The leftist media has begun baiting the right into this silly circular logic….even though those files are probably chock full of lefties…. But just to capitalize on right wing “chaos” , they will beat this horse dead and use Epstein dead enders as their sources.
Show us a pol showing Trump has lost support.
Were waiting.
🤡
My reading of what Trump is saying is “there are bigger fish to fry and many are the same fish as the Epstein fish.”
I think we’ll see a Crossfire Hurricane SC soon.
It’s not mystifying that President Trump supported his attorney general.
If those files are real and released, the media would have a field day and that is all the discussion would be for the next two years at least.
I think the president does not want the distraction.
Yep...
I would love the government to do a “Diddy” on the Epstein crew - but the “Diddy” in the case is long dead, and never heard a single actual complainant naming any perv by name - so I’ll settle for doing good for the country.....
The base will feel like schmucks when all this plays out. Sometimes our heard mentality rivals the Rats.
Obviously not…he was ratioed on his OWN sm platform by his OWN followers. The man who couldn’t shut up about Epstein for years now says…”shut up!” Oh yeah, that’s going to work /sarcasm. Funniest yet, is his normally pithy authentic post reverted to a stereotypical boomer “wall of words.” Anyone under 40 will ignore him as another out of touch old dude.
More than 40 women have filed successful criminal complaints and/or civil lawsuits against Epstein and Maxwell.
Any sentient person would wonder why ZERO women have filed ZERO criminal complaints against the Epstein Client List.
Any sentient person would also wonder why just ONE woman, filed one civil law suit, against one person, on the Epstein Client List - and then settled out of court.
Maybe because there is NO Epstein Client List?
I DISagree. I don’t think epstein is a top reason I voted for Trump. It was somewhere on the list... down in the 2d or 3rd tier of things. I don’t recall every debating anyone on epstein during the campaign.
The top tier was illegal immigration, the economy, control of house and senate and judiciary, and men in women’s sports and other woke madness.
The 2d tier was term limits, rino replacement, ending taxes, lawfare, etc.
The 3rd tier is everything else that’s aggravating. That’s where epstein fell in my list of priorities.
DID President Trump talk about it? Well, he also talked about Rosie O’Donnell. He talked about Nancy Pelosi. He talked about everything that came up. That doesn’t mean it was a priority. It’s on the list, but should I throw out fixing the border over what probably is a case of destroyed records?
Let us summarize yesterday.
President Trump presents a claim that Hillary etal created fake Epstein files.
Kash says he is not going to investigate conspiracy theories.
Hint: President Trump’s claim was a conspiracy theory.
Note: If President Trump’s claim is correct then Bondi got scammed by fake files.
However: President Trump thinks Bondi is great and wants to keep her around—because presumably because keeping an Attorney General who is easily scammed is a wonderful idea.
Conclusion: Anyone who does not agree to all of us is betraying MAGA.
Anyone who believes anything from any source within 48 hours of it’s first release is betraying the common sense experience is suppose to teach. I can’t wait to see what comes next. More popcorn please.
Because and ONLY because Trump is a force of nature was his first term a SUCCESS.
His border agenda and building a wall was actually sabotaged by the Republican wing of the uniparty led by McConnell and Ryan who declared the wall dead on arrival.
Trump’s DOJ NEVER had a chance when SENATOR Little Beauregard Sessions pulled the shenanigans of recusing himself.
Trump had little choice than to replace with him Deep State TRAITOR Bill Barr because he was at the mercy of China Mitch for who COULD and WOULD be confirmed.
Firing Comey was the right move but it was a bold move and he could not replace Comey with an “outsider” for the same reasons he was stuck with Barr as a replacement.
The records show that the DOJ under Trump and the FBI under Trump was as corrupt if not more corrupt as any in our country’s history.
The coup initiated by the 50 spies who lied would not have been successful if Barr had not sit on the Laptop from Hell.
Trump has PUBLICLY said that not immediately authenticating the laptop cost him a sixteen point swing according to some who have analyzed the effects.
As he said for not the laptop the election could not have been stolen with phony vote counts.
In other words the DOJ and the FBI were CRITICAL to completing the coup that cost him the 2020 election.
A strong and impactful DOJ and FBI that is fully engaged which reflects the America First agenda should have been JOB ONE.
Frankly, I still don’t understand all the Gaetz business.
The best I can come up with is he nominated THREE outsiders in Hegseth, Patel, and Gaetz thinking the Senate couldn’t reject all three and if he got two out of three then so be it.
If that is true, then Gaetz would have always been the more likely to be rejected.
And if that is true then he should have a strong number two candidate in waiting.
Blondi is not strong nor is she the war time consigliere that Gaetz would have been.
Some cabinet posts may be more PR than action and she would have been a good choice for one of those.
But the DOJ which was in need of someone like Gaetz who would have been willing to break some china as he rearranged the furniture and replaced that in need of replacing.
For those who say the Epstein files is not atop the MAGA agenda I would agree if I was viewing from where they always take their view which is the place that can never see the forest for the trees.
But cleaning the DOJ and RESTORING its credibility may have been JOB one.
Does anyone actually think the DOJ under Blondi has restored any credibility with her mishandling of the Esptein affair.
My guess is Dan Bongino doesn’t and he has had a better view than me.
Interesting how Trump suddenly got cold feet when he thought the Epstein files would be released.
His actions speaks volumes.
If everything Epstein lands at the feet of ‘Israel’, so be it.
Its not like we haven’t heard ‘Death to Israel’ before
/s
Release the files.
Not releasing them looks shady
“And children were NOT involved!”
Hoe could you possibly know that?
Trump’s protecting Bill Clinton.
