President Trump lashed out Wednesday at “weaklings” and “past supporters” in his base who he said were buying in to the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” raging that he doesn’t even “want their support anymore.”
“Unlike Republicans, they [Democrats] stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls—,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“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! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Later Wednesday, Trump was asked once again about the Epstein drama during an Oval Office meeting with Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and blasted the controversy, once again, as a “big hoax.”
“I’ve lost a lot of faith in certain people, yeah, I’ve lost. Because they got duped by the Democrats,” Trump lamented, reiterating his Truth Social post.
“It’s all been a big hoax. It’s perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net and so they and do the Democrats’ work,” he added.
“The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes. They’re bad for policy. They’re bad for picking candidates that can get elected, like in New York we have a Communist [Zohran Mamdani] running. He may get elected to it, actually, but he’ll destroy the city.”
The Epstein firestorm was revived after the Justice Department and FBI concluded in a memo made public last week that Epstein, 66, killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 — and did not keep a list of wealthy and powerful “clients” to whom he trafficked underage teens.
That conclusion sparked a storm of backlash from top MAGA personalities, who suspected that the Trump administration wasn’t being fully upfront about Epstein, despite the 47th president’s promise on the campaign trail to release the files on the convicted pedophile.
In a sign the Epstein case may not just be a right-wing obession, a stunning Quinnipiac University national survey released Wednesday determined that 63% of American voters disliked how Trump’s team has been handling the Epstein controversy, with only 17% approving and 20% undecided.
Trump had been friendly with Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s, but the two supposedly had a falling-out in 2004 amid a bidding war over a since-demolished Palm Beach property.
“I’d rather talk about the success we’ve had with the economy, the best we’ve ever had, and all of the things we’ve done, including in the Middle East,” Trump monologued in the Oval Office. “I mean you see it. Instead, they want to talk about the Epstein hoax. And the sad part is, it’s people that are really doing the Democrats’ work. They’re stupid people.”
While the feds say that there is no evidence Epstein had a “client list,’ contrary to years-long speculation, the sex predator’s ex-attorney Alan Dershowitz has claimed that there is an FBI affidavit about his late client’s connections that could be made public. Dershowitz has also blamed courts for blocking the release of those files despite Epstein’s demise.
Most of the MAGA ire has been directed at US Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom Trump has repeatedly defended.
“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!),” Trump further raged on Truth Social Wednesday.
“These 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.”
On Tuesday, Trump grumbled to reporters that “I don’t understand what the interest or what the fascination” with Epstein is among his base. Seven days earlier, he bristled at questions from The Post about Epstein during a cabinet meeting.
“They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,” Trump added on Truth Social Wednesday.
“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.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appeared to split with Trump Tuesday and publicly backed the release of more Epstein documents.
Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), have sought to exploit the friction between Trump and part of his base by publicly pushing for the release of more government documents on Epstein.
