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!"

Trump’s mad because he wasn’t able to bully his supporters into just dropping the Epstein matter. Polls show 2/3’s of his supporters want the Epstein files released. This isn’t just a few malcontents or conspiracy types complaining. He better wake up fast or he will wind up destroying his presidency.
Think Mr Trump has gotten to big for his britches....needs taken down a few pegs..So Mr Trump you and the Democrats can play stupid games for the next 2 years while they impeach you while the nation burned on your doing...Good Luck...
It definitely isn’t most of his voters. It’s a group of obsessed malcontents.
“Didn’t the Dersch say yesterday that there was NO LIST!!”
He did. But 2 or 3 weeks ago he said that he had to subpoena (or FOIA) the list in order to review the accusation that he was on the list. He did both.
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.
Cool. Enjoy
The democrats and AI will push the Epstein crap as far as they can after sitting on it for years
Agree with Trump. Don’t want those fair weather supporters. Just as bad as the Dems.
Petty. Name checks out.
Well, with Tucker talking out of his ass on this, and Megyn morphing into Nancy Grace, why not give them a bid FU
I have supported Trump since 2016. The main reason was because he had a record of keeping his promises.
His administration handled this poorly. At this point. Bondi, Patel, Bongino should be fired. They are the ones that made a mess of this thing. Not Trump supporters. So we get fired and they keep their jobs?
Assuming I represent a few thousand people who would have otherwise donated money to the tight races in the midterms. I think I have a say in this.
Blaming supporters for your mess brings up a whole slew of problems for your administration like:
Why hasn't Trump ended the Ukraine war like he said he was going to?
Why has he involved us in a war with Iran?
Why are illegals self deporting like he said they would?
What are we only rounding up a few thousand illegals when we have millions to go?
Why have no employers been arrested for hiring illegal aliens?
Why is his tariff policy all over the map? Set a tariff and stick with it. You set it and then pause it, why bother?
Why is China still involved in the Fentanyl trade?
Why hasn't he shut down the fentanyl factories in Mexico and gone after the Cartels like he said he would?
These were things I could trust that Trump could get done in time. Now that he is so quick to blame supporters most of this stuff is just his bloviating and he doesn't really mean it.
You may want to look at the numbers.
We are starting to see some...and we will see more.
Bondi doesn’t fart without Trump’s say so....fish rots from the head down...
Unlike the concern fairies around here, I will wait and see.
Words have meaning, in other words do not piss on the one who brought you to the dance....
“Maybe he is listed.”
If he is, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that that info wouldn’t have been used against him years/decades ago.
It would’ve been easier than all the treachery and energy it took to concoct lawsuits, dossiers, etc.
Bongino Rule—Amendment #1
Wait 48 hours...
and it may get worse.
Lol.
Nice opus, well, bye.
Ok, Mr 666, opus out now.
