Trump rants that his ‘PAST' supporters have bought into Jeffrey Epstein ‘Hoax'
In a post on Truth Social, the 47th president, who once spoke highly of the disgraced financier and his proclivity for surrounding himself with young women, resumed arguing that the furor around the so-called 'Epstein files' — a longtime fixation for many of his supporters who believe they contain damaging information on prominent Democrats and other liberal celebrities — is a creation of his political enemies rather than anything genuinely felt by his political base.
Trump compared the burgeoning scandal around his own Department of Justice to past political blow-ups around Russia's interference in the 2016 election and Hunter Biden's infamous laptop, calling the present dustup a 'SCAM' perpetrated by Democrats and labeling it as 'what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.'
He also suggested that anyone still clamoring for the documents is not a true supporter of his.
'My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,' he said '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.'
Continuing, the president went on to disavow those supporters who still want his administration to come clean on the case files assembled as federal investigators and prosecutors built a case against Epstein for sex trafficking during his first term.
The former math teacher turned financial adviser, who federal agents arrested on sex trafficking charges in July 2019, hanged himself roughly a month later in a Manhattan detention facility where he was awaiting trial. For years, the president's supporters have pushed for release of what they believe was a list of powerful people to whom Epstein is alleged to have trafficked young girls, as well as other information they believe would reflect negatively on members of the Democratic Party, various Hollywood celebrities, and other purported elites who they believe to be part of a sinister cabal controlling world events.
For years, Trump has winked and nodded at such beliefs and had indicated during his 2024 campaign that his administration would release the documents in question if he were victorious in last year's presidential election.
Now, as his base revolts over the Justice Department's failure to make good on that promise, he is angrily disavowing those MAGA die-hards.
He wrote: '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! '

Trump deal with Europe underlines new standard of (at least) 15% tariffs
One thing was clear about a vague trade deal announced Sunday by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: a headline tariff rate of 15% on European goods. It's the latest example of a new tariff floor for Trump that has been backed by other recent deals and letters, including one with Japan this past week that also saw a 15% rate. "We'll have a straight simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%," Trump asserted. Both Trump and von der Leyen highlighted the 15% rate Sunday after their meeting in Scotland. Trump claimed a 'straight-across tariff of 15%' for 'automobiles and everything else,' adding that US exports to Europe would face a 0% rate. Von der Leyen confirmed the 15% tariffs 'across the board and inclusive," adding that it would bring stability and predictability to US-Europe relations. Comments later in the day from the European Commission President suggested that it might be a little more complex and that the deal also included "zero for zero tariffs on a number of strategic products" including aircraft components and other products like some minerals. Trump added that the deal includes hundreds of billions of dollars in new EU purchases of U.S. energy as well as military equipment. The 15% rate may get a mixed reaction in Europe after negotiators had previously pushed for free trade (or more recently a 10% rate), but it's a halving from the 30% tariffs Trump promised in a letter earlier this month. Sunday's agreement with the European Union — America's largest trading partner — comes following agreements with Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia with saw tariff rates of between 19% and 20%. Only one negotiation has seen Trump agree to a tariff below 15% — a pact with the UK in May — with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent writing earlier this month that "usually the first person who makes a deal makes the best deal." Some details unclear Trump also said Sunday that many of the remaining countries facing a deadline of Aug. 1 would face a letter dictating rates, saying they would be be 'very universal for most' and that the European deal is 'the big one.' The president said three to four additional countries could be in for deals in the coming days while most nations would simply get letters. In any case, the 15% baseline is a shift — even from recent weeks. Trump earlier this month said that many countries would see a rate of 'probably 10% or 15%, we haven't decided yet.' Even last Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CBS: "You should assume that the small countries... will have a baseline tariff of 10%." This new standard is also notable fulfillment of an oft-made campaign trail promise that saw the then-candidate pledge to create a "ring around the collar" of the US economy with a blanket rate of between 10% and 20%. Fulfilling that pledge — which was often dismissed as unrealistic at the time — has now become not only accepted but even a plus for markets after six months of Trump's second term have seen threats of higher duties that have reordered world trade actions. The recent announcement of the deal with Japan with a 15% tariff on goods like autos was welcomed by traders and helped fuel rises in US markets as well as the Japanese Nikkei 225, which immediately surged on the news. Japanese automakers in particular saw a jump after that deal as those companies celebrated a lowering of auto tariffs from 25% to 15%. European automakers now find themselves in a similar position. Trump, meanwhile, says he has no plans to amended his other sector specific tariffs as part of the European Union deal — even as Von der Leyen suggested they would largely be covered by the deal. There are 50% tariffs currently levied on steel and aluminum (with planned duties at the same rate on copper), and Trump said Sunday that those tariffs are a "worldwide thing that stays the way it is." Trump also reiterated his promises of sectoral tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals to be rolled out, which could be much higher than 15% — unless Europe gets a carveout. And Von der Leyen suggested the 15% rate would apply in comments later Sunday when she said the 15% rate would apply to "the vast majority of EU cars, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals" as she called the rate "a clear ceiling." Also on Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that a new semiconductor tariffs are nearly ready and would be unveiled in about "two weeks time."

Fed gets fresh legal headache with lawsuit seeking to make FOMC rate meetings public
The Federal Reserve got a new legal headache Thursday when a money manager sued Chair Jerome Powell and other central bank policymakers in a Washington, D.C., federal court. The lawsuit alleges the Fed is violating a 1976 federal law by keeping its monetary policy meetings behind closed doors. Azoria Capital's lawsuit asks the court to issue a temporary restraining order compelling the Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to open its deliberations to the public starting Tuesday and Wednesday, when central bank policymakers gather in Washington to decide on their next interest rate move. This comes as the Fed is under pressure on several fronts by President Trump, highlighted by an unusual presidential visit to the central bank for a tour of the $2.5 billion refurbishment of its National Mall buildings. Trump and other administration officials have criticized the project for its cost overruns. Azoria Capital, the money manager bringing the new lawsuit against Powell and other members of the FOMC, is led by CEO James Fishback, who is close to the Trump administration and served as an adviser to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Last year, Fishback used Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club as the setting to announce an anti-DEI exchange-traded fund called the Azoria 500 Meritocracy ETF (SPXM), which began trading this month on the New York Stock Exchange. Azoria argues in its suit that "by operating beyond public scrutiny, the FOMC is deliberately undermining the public accountability envisioned by Congress," and that if a firm such as Azoria does not have real-time access to FOMC deliberations, it "cannot fully consider and protect itself against Federal Reserve policy shifts that can create volatility." Azoria also states in its suit that it "is deeply concerned that the FOMC, under Chair Jerome Powell, is maintaining high interest rates to undermine President Donald J. Trump and his economic agenda, to the detriment of American citizens and the American economy" and that the FOMC's current policy stance "appears politically motivated." Fishback made the administration aware of the suit before it was filed, according to a person familiar with the matter. The FOMC has not changed interest rates since Trump took office, as many policymakers argue that more time is needed to assess how Trump's trade policies will affect inflation. Trump has repeatedly hammered Powell and the Fed for this view, arguing that rates should be three percentage points lower. Investors don't expect the Fed to change rates at the meeting on July 29-30, although two Fed governors have said they could support a cut. Read more: What experts say about the possibility of additional rate cuts The Fed's current policy stance, according to Azoria's suit, "raises serious questions about whether politics, not economics, are driving monetary policy. These questions emphasize the need for transparency from the FOMC." The law in question cited by Azoria in its suit is the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976, passed after President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal roiled Washington and led to calls for increased transparency in the US government. The act requires federal agencies to keep their meetings open to the public. But it also allows for private meetings in cases covered as exemptions, including when the release of that information could be used in financial speculation. The Fed has cited that exemption in justifying why it holds closed meetings when discussing monetary policy. But Azoria says "not all FOMC deliberations inherently trigger financial speculation" and that the law states that to claim one of these exemptions, the agency must vote to invoke it and then, within one day, publish an explanation of why it made that decision. Azoria said the FOMC has "brazenly flouted this mandate" for five decades, holding nothing but closed meetings since 1977. "The FOMC's decades-long policy of blanket secrecy is unlawful."

Thailand warns Cambodia should ‘demonstrate genuine intent' ahead of peace talks
Thailand and Cambodia are fighting in their border regions. Peace talks are scheduled for Monday. At 35 people have been killed and more than 200 000 displaced. Thailand and Cambodia's leaders are due to meet for peace talks on Monday, as a festering territorial dispute along their shared frontier dragged into a fifth day of open combat. At least 35 people have been killed and more than 200 000 displaced since Thursday as the countries fight over a smattering of contested ancient temples. In an effort initiated by US President Donald Trump, Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet will meet at 15:00 (07:00 GMT) in Kuala Lumpur. China is also expected to send a delegation. Ahead of the talks, Thailand and Cambodia traded fresh fire and accusations. 'We do not believe Cambodia is acting in good faith, based on their actions in addressing the issue,' Phumtham told reporters as he departed Bangkok airport. They need to demonstrate genuine intent, and we will assess that during the meeting. Phumtham Wechayachai Cambodia's defence ministry spokesperson Maly Socheata said Monday was 'the fifth day that Thailand has invaded Cambodia's territory with heavy weapons and with the deployment of a lot of troops'. In Thailand's Surin city - 30km from the border and a hub of evacuees fleeing the fighting - 58-year-old Lamduan Chuenjit shared her leader's scepticism. 'I hope the negotiation goes well today and ends with a ceasefire,' the cleaner told AFP while sweeping a shopfront. 'But I do wonder how trustworthy Cambodia is.' On the eve of the talks, Thailand's military said Cambodian snipers were camping in one of the contested temples, and accused Phnom Penh of surging troops along the border and hammering Thai territory with rockets. The Royal Thai Army/Anadolu via Getty Images It said fighting was ongoing at seven areas along the rural border region, marked by a ridge of hills surrounded by wild jungle and agricultural land where locals farm rubber and rice. 'The situation remains highly tense, and it is anticipated that Cambodia may be preparing for a major military operation prior to entering negotiations,' the Thai military statement read. On Saturday, Trump said he made a late-night call to both leaders, who agreed to 'quickly work out' a truce. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said the summit - which will be mediated by Malaysian leader Anwar Ibrahim - was also organised 'with the participation of China' - a key trade and political ally. 'The purpose of this meeting is to achieve an immediate ceasefire, which was initiated by President Donald Trump and agreed to by both prime ministers of Cambodia and Thailand,' Hun Manet said. Valeria Mongelli/Anadolu via Getty Images US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that US officials 'are on the ground in Malaysia to assist these peace efforts', while Anwar told domestic media he would focus on securing an 'immediate ceasefire'. Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn marked his 73rd birthday on Monday, but a notice in the country's Royal Gazette said his public celebrations scheduled for Bangkok's Grand Palace have been cancelled amid the strife. Trump has threatened both countries with eye-watering levies in his global tariff blitz unless they agree to independent trade deals - saying he would 'look forward' to signing them once 'Peace is at hand.' Both sides have agreed to a truce in principle, while accusing the other of undermining peace efforts and trading allegations about the use of cluster bombs and targeting of hospitals. Thailand says eight of its soldiers and 14 civilians have been killed, while Cambodia has confirmed eight civilian and five military deaths. The Thai military said it has returned the bodies of 12 Cambodian soldiers killed in combat. More than 138 000 people have fled Thailand's border regions, while around 80 000 have been driven from their homes in Cambodia. With the skirmish enflaming nationalist sentiments, Thailand warned its citizens to 'refrain from any kind of violence, whether in speech or action' against Cambodian migrants living in the country.
