The administration invited influencers to the White House, handed them binders that said "Epstein Files: Phase 1," and staged a photo op outside with the binders. Now Trump calls the whole thing a dumb hoax. There is just no way for an honest person to look at this set of facts and come away with the conclusion that the administration is in the right on this issue.
One of the biggest questions I'm being asked right now is why does it seem like the base cares about Epstein more than the president? What's with the disconnect?
Remember, at this point in his first term, the deep state, Mueller, Comey etc. were engaged in an intel community-led coup to take him out. This time is different. His most passionate supporters are talking about Epstein, not to hurt him, but because they see it as an opportunity to finally lance the deep state boil that has been festering for decades in this country, the same rot that tried to impeach him, assassinate him, bankrupt him, and throw him in federal prison for 700+ years.
Epstein has become a symbol beyond its direct significance. A leader who can convincingly bring transparency to that case will win loyalty and support from people who have become jaded about politics. Trump can be that leader.
Was it stupid & foolish when he campaigned on releasing the files? Are Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Alina Habba all foolish & stupid for peddling this for the past 6 months?
Why on earth is he doing this?
Trump has decided suddenly, after years of saying the opposite, that the Epstein files are a hoax, boring, they don't matter, and anyone who talks about them is a "bad person" and a weakling. He's entitled to his opinion. But the idea that conservatives are obligated to also change on a dime and adopt this new perspective along with him is just madness. It's not even possible. I can't just decide to not care about the issue even if I wanted to. And I don't want to.
Trump compares the Epstein List to various Deep State hoaxes.
OK, but the irony here is that we only know Russiagate, Hunter's laptop, J6 etc. are hoaxes BECAUSE we asked questions, investigated and released real, incriminating evidence. We refused to believe the "official" story because something was wrong. We kept pushing and finally broke the truth.
This is how we can solve the 'Epstein hoax' as well. Release everything, full disclosure, chips fall where they may. Trust the American people.
.@realDonaldTrump I hesitated to write this however, with the utmost respect and deference to you for all you’ve withstood (few know it better than me what the “deep state” can do when they want to turn on a person). The EPSTEIN AFFAIR is NOT about who killed him or if he committed suicide—personally, I’m glad this known pedophile is dead.
But neither is this a hoax.
This issue goes beyond all that. There are millions of Americans who overwhelmingly voted for you to be OUR President, and we want you to be massively successful. No one more than me. Personally, I still have a target on my forehead. I know that but, like you, I still fight.
Beyond all that, OUR country is facing a level of internal subversion and it is a relentless attack on the very foundation of our constitutional republic. If you’re not successful, our country may not survive. It is that extreme of a situation we currently face. Read Lincoln’s Lyceum speech of 1838. He knew, as you know (and as we all can see with our very eyes), our nation will not die from a foreign foe, NEVER, if we die, it will be by our own suicide.
There is an ongoing undermining by subversive elements inside and outside the USG. That is the essence of the deep state.
All 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. That’s all (PERIOD!).
An element that is of great importance surrounding this Epstein affair is the fact this man was a known pedophile, had a list of clients who represented the upper crust of society, and likely did untoward things to CHILDREN on his island, in his homes in NYC, and New Mexico (and maybe elsewhere). He was convicted of it.
Regardless of what class of society abuses and commits crimes against CHILDREN, it is NEVER acceptable.
This is where this argument went off the rails. It is NOT about Epstein or the left. It is about committing crimes against CHILDREN. If he were part of an intel operation known or run by our CIA (shame on them) and those responsible MUST be held accountable. If there is another country involved, then shame on them as well. If there are elites inside of our country that committed crimes against CHILDREN (shame on them) and they MUST be held ACCOUNTABLE.
Few know how many crystal balls you juggle on a daily basis (I do). And I know you cannot drop any of them.
With my strongest recommendation, please gather your team and figure out a way to move past this. The roll out of this was terrible, no way around that. Americans want America to be successful, therefore, WE NEED YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Please take this missive as though coming from someone who willingly and voluntarily fought for this country against multiple enemies overseas only to come home to face my greatest enemy right here at home. You know precisely what I mean.
God bless you and may God continue to protect you from the dark forces that do exist. I believe you were put on this earth for such a time as this.
You truly represent
ISAIAH 6:8 🙏🏼🇺🇸
RT if you think Gavin Newsom should do the following:
— Apologize for failing to cooperate with ICE and deport illegals in California
— Apologize for bankrupting his state by providing free healthcare to illegals
— Apologize for allowing men in girls' locker rooms and sports
— Apologize to those who losts their homes in the Los Angeles fires because the hydrants had no water
— Apologize for refusing to address the housing crisis in California
— Apologize for refusing to deal with homelessness crisis in California
— Apologize for helping ruin one of the most beautiful states in the Union.
I could go on.
Up until 10 seconds ago there was unanimous agreement that Epstein was a pedophile and child sex trafficker with high profile clientele who all must be exposed and brought to justice. Now, out of the blue, we're being told that none of that is true and anyone who believes this thing that everyone believed is a whack job and a conspiracy theorist. This is the kind of shameless 180 degree unexplained pivot that leftists typically specialize in. Very weird to see it happening on the Right.
Nobody can provide an example of a single way that the United States has benefited from Somali immigration. It's easy to think of the drawbacks. There are no positives. None at all. None of the idiots who flock to this post to call me "racist" or whatever will be able to give an example. Just read the comments and you'll see. Literally no one can explain how it helps this country. So why should we allow it?
Pride month this year was a flop. Low attendance at parades. Sponsors pulling out. No funding. Less events. Less corporations celebrating it.
It’s on its last legs. We still have work to do though. We need to completely dismantle gender ideology. And we will.
We’re winning.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “This evening, we are officially launching ‘America 250. An enormous, year-long, nationwide celebration of our heritage, our great flag, and our glorious American freedom.” 🇺🇸
Every Republican talked about overturning Roe v. Wade
Trump actually did it
Every Republican talked about defunding planned parenthood
Trump actually did it
He is the most pro-life president in our lifetimes because he actually does the things he says he’ll do
The last election in Ukraine was supposed to be held on March 31, 2024. That day marked the end of Zelensky’s 5-year term. When the term ran out, he cancelled elections. For over a year now, Ukraine has had a dictator installed that literally no one in the country voted for.
WOW. Russian President Vladimir Putin abruptly leaves the stage to hop on the phone with President Trump, saying he didn't want to offend Trump by keeping him waiting.
This is what happens when we have a real President. The world respects us.
