‘Weaklings': Trump dumps ‘past' MAGA supporters over Epstein fallout
Despite the FBI and Attorney-General Pam Bondi drawing a line under the case this month, and saying there was no evidence accused sex trafficker Epstein was murdered or kept a client 'list', a large and influential section of Trump's Make America Great Again movement is not satisfied.
They are calling on the government to release more of the so-called 'Epstein files' – documents related to the case – and increasingly believe Trump's administration is part of a conspiracy to cover up Epstein's affairs and links to what they call 'the deep state'.
Trump has grown frustrated over the past week as the furore failed to die out. Earlier in the week, he said the Epstein matter was 'boring', and that he didn't understand why people were still interested. Only 'pretty bad people' wanted to keep fuelling the story, Trump said.
On Wednesday, he explicitly ditched those 'past' MAGA supporters who were still talking about the matter, calling them 'weaklings' and claiming they had been brainwashed by what he is now trying to brand as a Democratic Party hoax.
'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,' Trump posted on Truth Social.
'They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.

Kremlin not ruling out Putin-Trump talks in Beijing
The Kremlin is not ruling out the possibility of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump if the Russian and US presidents are both in Beijing at the same time in September. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Putin will visit China for events to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, but says Moscow has not heard if Trump plans to go. "You know that we are preparing for a trip to Beijing, our president is preparing for this trip... But we have not heard that President Trump is also going there, to Beijing," Peskov said when asked if the two leaders could meet, including possibly in a three-way format with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "If it so happens that (Trump) is there, then, of course, we cannot rule out that the question of the expediency of holding a meeting will be raised," Peskov told reporters. The Times newspaper reported last week that China was positioning itself to hold a summit between Trump and Putin. Putin and Trump have spoken at least six times since Trump returned to the White House in January. The Kremlin has said it is in favour of a face-to-face meeting between them, but this would need careful preparation in order to produce results. Trump has expressed growing frustration with the Russian leader over a lack of progress towards ending the war in Ukraine, saying earlier this month that "we get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin". Trump said last week he would impose new sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports in 50 days unless Moscow agreed to a peace deal. That deadline will expire in early September, coinciding with the war anniversary events in Beijing.

'Trump says that the public has since moved away from what he described as excessive political correctness. I don't know,' Ms Schofield told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'I think that the investment's been made, the logos exist, I don't think these franchises will change back unless we continue to see the MAGA movement live beyond Trump.'
