President Donald Trump has unleashed yet another tirade at his own supporters as his Make America Great Again movement continues to push back at the Justice Department’s refusal to release case files from the prosecution of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
In a post on Truth Social, the 47th president, who once spoke highly of the disgraced financier and his proclivity for surrounding himself with young women, resumed arguing that the furor around the so-called “Epstein files” — a longtime fixation for many of his supporters who believe they contain damaging information on prominent Democrats and other liberal celebrities — is a creation of his political enemies rather than anything genuinely felt by his political base.
Trump compared the burgeoning scandal around his own Department of Justice to past political blow-ups around Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, calling the present dustup a “SCAM” perpetrated by Democrats and labeling it as “what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
He also suggested that anyone still clamoring for the documents is not a true supporter of his.
“My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,” he said “I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
Continuing, the president went on to disavow those supporters who still want his administration to come clean on the case files assembled as federal investigators and prosecutors built a case against Epstein for sex trafficking during his first term.
The former math teacher turned financial adviser, who federal agents arrested on sex trafficking charges in July 2019, hanged himself roughly a month later in a Manhattan detention facility where he was awaiting trial. For years, the president’s supporters have pushed for release of what they believe was a list of powerful people to whom Epstein is alleged to have trafficked young girls, as well as other information they believe would reflect negatively on members of the Democratic Party, various Hollywood celebrities, and other purported elites who they believe to be part of a sinister cabal controlling world events.
For years, Trump has winked and nodded at such beliefs and had indicated during his 2024 campaign that his administration would release the documents in question if he were victorious in last year’s presidential election.
Now, as his base revolts over the Justice Department’s failure to make good on that promise, he is angrily disavowing those MAGA die-hards.
He wrote: “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! “
