In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, President Donald Trump addressed ongoing discussions about Jeffrey Epstein, labeling them as a “hoax” perpetuated by his former supporters and the media. Trump criticized these supporters for being misled by what he described as the “Lunatic Left” and stated that he no longer desires their backing.Trump falsely compared the Epstein discussions to previous events he deemed as scams, including the Steele Dossier and the Russia investigation, asserting that these narratives are part of a pattern used by Democrats to distract from their failures.“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump declared, emphasizing his disapproval of those who continue to engage in these discussions.
This is a HUGE mistake by Trump. People are losing faith in his claim of transparency and don’t give a damn if he doesn’t like it. They know he is hiding and protecting the names of many of his friends and members of Congress and the Deep State. Until ALL of the documents are release, including those that are redacted beyond recognition, this will sit like a pall over his Presidency.
He’s done so much good, but he’s being a dumbass if he’s attacking his base over Epstein instead of calmly explaining why he can’t release the evidence.
Very tone deaf. I can accept the idea that we’re never going to get the Epstein information we wanted. But this has been very badly handled. And Trump doesn’t seem to realize how much his administration screwed this up.
Trump is reading the room wrong here.
His choices:
Release all the Epstein info.
Don’t release all the Epstein info, and explain why.
Insult the MAGA folks who want to know what the hell happened.
The last choice is the worst.
Is this the first known time that Trump has openly attacked his own base of supporters?
Bondi was so eager to get her face on Fox News that she shot off her mouth and this has turned into a huge mess.
He’s a one-termer. I guess he figures he doesn’t need them/us anymore.
He’s gone batshit crazy. 10 year supporter and 3 time voter and it’s getting harder and harder to excuse this craziness. He’s done so much good and seems intent on throwing it all away over this. Unbelievable.
Just explain to me why Bill Clinton went to Epstein’s island several times.
This is basically 3 times in the last week but nothing this nasty.
He is correct.........give it up, dopes.
He removed his best choice during the campaign.
Not say a word about it. It wasn’t a campaign issue until he made it one.
If its a Democrat scam, like Russia-gate, then I definitely want to know how the Democrats and Deep-state organized the scam.
(Bondi was so eager to get her face on Fox News that she shot off her mouth and this has turned into a huge mess.)
You have to wonder if Robert F. Kennedy at age 36 at the time as attorney general would have done the same thing. I think not!
It will be exploited for 2026 by the left and the RINO warmongers who want the money spigots open again.
He is setting himself on fire over this.
Don’t forget alternative four:
Insult Republicans members of Congress and dare them to hold hearings and make a circus out of this issue.
The President does not need us—but he does need the Republicans in Congress.
