Yikes…
President Trump blasted his own supporters who continue to fume over the Jeffrey Epstein files.
“You mentioned past supporters when you were talking about the Epstein issue. Does that mean that you’re effectively disowning any supporters who are now calling—” a reporter asked Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
Trump cut off the question and added, “I’ve lost a lot of faith in certain people, yeah, I’ve lost. Because they got duped by the Democrats.”
In a lengthy social media post, which included references to the president’s previous claims about the 2017 Russian election interference probe, Trump blamed Democrats for creating what he called a “scam” and “hoax.”
“Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates,” Trump said. He added, “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. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”
The president made clear he no longer wants the support of those who remain interested in the Epstein investigation.
“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,” Trump said.
Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have come under fire from conservatives for declining to release the Epstein probe files in their entirety. A new CNN poll shows just 3 percent of the public, and 4 percent of Republicans, are satisfied with the amount of information the government has put out about the Epstein case.
The Justice Department and FBI last week stated they found no evidence the deceased financier kept a “client list” of associates whom he blackmailed or conspired with to victimize dozens of women.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that Bondi should explain the administration’s handling of the case especially after she told Fox News in February that Epstein’s alleged “client list” was “sitting on my desk now to review.”
In his post, Trump disavowed those who focus on the Epstein story rather than his accomplishments.
“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 said.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he is in favor of Bondi releasing “credible” documents related to the Epstein case. He praised Bondi when it was pointed out that she and other officials have made “inconsistent statements” about the Epstein case in the past.
“I really think that she’s done very good. She says, I gave you all the credible information. And if she finds any more credible information, she’ll give that too. What more can she do than that? I mean, honestly, what more can she do?” Trump said.
The president argued there are “bigger problems” than Epstein, like the southern border.
“She’s got a lot of things she’s working on. And, you know, it’s very sad that somebody can be waylaid, they just get waylaid, but she’s — I think she’s doing a great job,” he said.
You said you would release the list. RELEASE THE LIST!
PS, if there is no list (which I find hard to believe), then put facial recognition to work on all the “videos” DOJ says they have and MAKE A LIST!!!
Trump is complaining that we are wasting our time on a dead issue with Epstein, yet he is childishly threatening to uncitizen Rosie O’Donnell — yeah, she’s worth a lot of attention, like, who cares? But regarding Epstein, the people who went to his island are still around and probably still doing the same despicable things to children. They need to be held accountable, and I don’t believe for one second that no one knows who they are.
The President may be right in his facts, but he is wrong in his reasoning. Torching your supporters is never a good idea and simply wishing this problem away won’t work. The only solution is to give the public what it wants – an open file. From a legal and ethical standpoint it may tarnish many innocent people, so this caveat must be repeated over and over again. AG Bondi put her foot in her mouth when she played her McCarthy “I have a list” card. Trump should fire her and hire DeSantis as her replacement. If he doesn’t, he may face a Nixon-esque scandal that could derail all his other plans.
If you don’t want my support that is certainly OK, despite the fact that I have voted for you in ev ery election that you have run in. But here’s the deal Mr. President, release all of the file, shine light on them and then let the chips fall where they may and go on with your agenda, which has been very good for the most part so far. If you expect the American people to tow the mark because you say so, you are seriously bereft of understanding of those of us that have supported you for all of these years. What we want is an honest government that tells the truth, and if you and others in your cabinet continue to suppress the truth, not just with Jeffrey Epstein, but with other issues as well, you are going to lose the midterms big time, and that will be a shame because all of the work that you and others in your administration that have attempted to return some of the United States to its prior wellness will be for naught, and you will be complicit in the destruction of the American nation!
