Donald Trump calls his own supporters ‘weaklings’ for believing Epstein ‘hoax’

President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters accusing them of being duped by Democrats as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administrations handling of muchhyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation which Trump now calls a hoaxTheir new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax and my PAST supporters have bought into this bull hook line and sinker Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site using an expletive in his post They havent learned their lesson and probably never will even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long yearsLet these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work dont even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success because I dont want their support anymore Thank you for your attention to this matter he went onThe rhetoric marks a dramatic escalation for the Republican president who has broken with some of his most loyal backers on issues in the past but never with such fervour Though Trump cannot legally run for another term he will need strong support from a united party to pass his remaining legislative agenda in a narrowlydivided Congress and an energised base to turn out in next years midterm electionsThe schism centres on the Trump administrations handling of documents related to Epstein who was found dead in his New York jail cell in August 2019 weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking chargesLast week the Justice Department and the FBI acknowledged in a memo that Epstein did not maintain a client list to whom underage girls were trafficked They also said no more files related to the investigation would be made public despite past promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theoristsIts a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public she had said The reversal sparked fury among Trumps most loyal defenders who have turned on Bondi in particular But Trump has repeatedly said he maintains confidence in his attorney general and had instead chided those who continue to press the issueI dont understand what the interest or what the fascination is he said Tuesday after unsuccessfully urging his boys and in some cases gals to stop wasting Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein somebody that nobody cares aboutIn an Oval Office appearance Wednesday after the Truth post Trump made clear that he was done with the story and said he had lost a lot of faith in certain people Its all been a big hoax he told reporters Its perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the netHe complained that Bondi has been waylaid over her handling of the case and has given out all credible information about the wealthy financier If she finds anymore credible information shell give that too Trump said What more can she do than thatTrump and many figures in his administration including FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino have spent years stoking dark and disproved conspiracy theories like those surrounding Epstein including embracing QAnontinged propaganda that casts Trump as a saviour sent to demolish the deep stateTrumps comments have not been enough to quell those who are still demanding answers Some of the podcasters and proTrump influencers who helped rally support for Trump in the 2024 campaign said Wednesday they were disappointed or puzzled by his commentsFarright conspiracy theorist and podcaster Alex Jones called Trumps handling of the Epstein situation the biggest train wreck Ive ever seen Its not in character for you to be acting like this he said in a video Tuesday I support you but we built the movement you rode in on Youre not the movement You just surfed in on itBenny Johnson a conservative podcaster said on his show that he is a fan of Trumps movement but is trying to give tough love and speak on behalf of the base Maybe it hasnt been framed correctly for the president Johnson said I dont knowHouse Speaker Mike Johnson RLa in an interview on Benny Johnsons show Tuesday had called for the Justice Department to put everything out there and let the people decide His firstterm national security adviser retired Lt Gen Michael Flynn implored Trump in a lengthy message to correct courseAll we want at this stage is for a modicum of trust to be reestablished between our federal government and the people it is designed to serve Thats all PERIOD he wrote With my strongest recommendation please gather your team and figure out a way to move past thisTurning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on his podcast attempted some damage control on Trumps behalf Dont take too seriously this whole Truth Social here Kirk told his audience I know some people are getting fired up about this I dont believe he was trying to insult anybody personallyHe also offered a message to Trump The grassroots is not trying to make you
