President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”
“Their 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 haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”
“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,” he went on.
Not everyone is just spewing talking points, there’s a LOT of maga folks who actually do give a shit about this. This is his biggest betrayal by far.
The #1 thing that unites (most of) the left and right is our shared hatred for the rich and powerful. Trump is outright saying he’s breaking his promise specifically to protect the rich and powerful.
I’d like to believe something would snap them out of their slavish cult mentality, but I don’t yet.
It will depend on the media. If the media makes this into something bigger than Watergate, that’s what it will be. People usually aren’t cognizant of how much their thoughts on things are shaped by the narrative our media tells.
The media reporting alone creates this sort of assumption that something is important to everyone else. If you think all your fellow group members are feeling a certain way, you will try to feel that way. As that happens to enough people it creates a real trend in the herd with momentum.
I don’t know, during the Vietnam War, news coverage followed public opinion, not lead it.
Yeah I think the Watergate template can’t apply anymore because of the prevalence of social media especially with the cult.
Anything the corporate news sewers dish out will be discounted anyway.
The right loves the rich and powerful. They may resent them, but they still suck up to them and give them whatever they demand.
Plenty do, yeah. It’s not is a monolith
Most people hate pedophiles more than the rich.
