President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as "weaklings" who "bought into this bulls---."
The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
My "PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls---” hook, line, and sinker," he said in the post, adding, "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!"

Think you meant to say Trump as he is wiping out his base Mr Tornado...Now it is fixed!
“Wake us up when our side decides to fight back.”
You will sleep forever... zzzzzz
I definitely agree. I do think there are many other people who are going to be protected. The government might just collapse if the list were publicized.
Tome for you to opus out
Nah, EDS sufferers don't care about that.
Not illegal criminals, not ending woke and trans surgery on minors.
It's one thing to be disgusted with how it's been handled but folks quitting on Trump over Epstein is insane.
No one has or will fight harder than Trump for the majority of things most want.
I am surprised the people who rallied after he was shot are giving him the middle finger and walking away 6 months in. You welcome going back to Biden era policies if you don't get satisfaction over Epstein.
Well said.
Could it be Trump’s name really is on this list and why is the DOJ fighting to block Epstein’s GF from testifying?
People want a voice.
If they think they are not being heard—and then get attacked for wanting to be heard—they get frustrated.
That would be true on any issue—in any political party.
Obviously a few were fake to begin with. Never a real part of his base. Cut and run to Elon and Tucker. Trump always wins in the end. 3 1/2 years left.
Take your meds.
They are being heard on big issues that are life changing. Epstein is at the bottom
Not when you piss off the Base he does not..Mid-terms are just around the corner and Trump will need every vote to keep what he has...Pissing of the base will just make folks decide to stay home...The Dems win both Houses and then the game begin...Who knows maybe Trump wants impeached...
Obviously everyone has different views on what is top priority and what is low priority.
Nobody likes other people demanding they accept their priorities.
Well, bye, opus out.
You think the left would have sat on that after all they threw at Trump? They wouldn’t throw a child rape in their numerous charges and endless attempts to take him out? You must be a bot to be that dumb.
Besides it is not about Epstein it is about “Accountability”.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Trump disavows supporters pushing Jeffrey Epstein: 'I don't want their support anymore!', cgbg wrote: Fair points.
President Trump was not the one making wild claims about the Epstein files.
That was Bondi, Kash, Alina—to name three.
Then of course Kash and Bongino insisted on claiming they could prove that Epstein killed himself.
There was zero upside and tons of downside for making those statements.
President Trump has a lot of open field here.
It is staff members who have dug themselves deep holes.
I believe Trump went on and on about bringing peace to Ukraine within 24 hrs of taking office to throw the Deep State off, and it worked. They all expected him to focus on that Day 1 but instead he fielded a blitzkreig on Deep State sources of funding in the NGO's, USAID, Medicare etc. I've never seen the Dems panic so vicerally on film. A reporter said, "But what about the Ukraine. You said you'd have peace within 24 hrs of taking office." Trump turned his head slightly aside and said slyly, "Oh, I was just joking." If Trump had broadcast his intention to attack their slush fund he wouldn't have succeeded. Those avenues would have been purged, locked and lititaged to a standstill with lawyers waiting at each agency entrance barring DOGE/Elon for 7 different reasons.
Again and again Trump uses the element of suprise and it works. He likely directed Bondi/Patel/Bongino to say what they did - I believe they are working on the 2020 election instead. But I don't think Trump believed the public would take the deep state bait. Why would Comey and others collect and preserve evidence against him and his deep state cronies ('elites')? Why would Biden Administration guard and save it. WHy would corrupt FBI sources supply it to Trump's administration upon request. This would be like having the CIA investigate itself, again.
Buzz off clown.
It’s not “ the base”. It’s the batshit crazy part of the base.
“I don’t think Trump believed the public would take the deep state bait.”
Well they did—and that is where we are today.
