Bitter Trump Melts Down at MAGA For Turning on Him Over Epstein
President Donald Trump dramatically turned on MAGA fans Wednesday for 'buying into bulls--t' over the Epstein files, portraying them as gullible 'weaklings' and declaring he no longer wants their support. In an extraordinary rant on Truth Social, Trump doubled down on his claim that the files surrounding the convicted child sex offender were a Democratic hoax and denounced supporters who thought otherwise. 'My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls--t,' 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. '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's angry rant is emblematic of the frustration within the White House that their attempts to kill the issue have not worked. But it is likely to further inflame the crisis Trump faces among his base over suspicion that the administration is hiding details of Epstein's crimes to protect the people he associated with, which included Trump. Tensions escalated the night before after the president dismissed the inquiry into Epstein as sordid but 'boring' and of interest only to 'bad people.' This is despite the fact that some of the biggest names in his orbit, including Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer and Speaker Mike Johnson have all demanded more transparency on the files. Trump's handling of the Epstein saga has stung MAGA loyalists, some of whom spent the weekend burning their red caps in outrage. It is also a significant shift for a president who came to office fueling longstanding conspiracy theories about the Epstein files and vowing to be transparent about the investigation. 'I've been reliably informed that it's now the responsibility of Trump supporters to prove our loyalty by accepting this obvious load of horseshit and stop demanding that child predators be brought to justice,' conservative commentator Matt Walsh said on X. Another user, Evan Kilgore, said in response to the latest post: 'Donald Trump just said he doesn't want my support anymore because I care about the Epstein Files. Goodbye, Mr. President. You just lost me.' Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 as he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving underage girls. His former girlfriend and associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was subsequently convicted in 2021 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping Epstein recruit and abuse underage girls. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison. One of the most dramatic theories circulating among supporters is that Epstein was murdered by powerful figures to cover up their roles in his sex crimes against children. Having promised to release the files, MAGA world was sent into a frenzy when Attorney General Pam Bondi moved to shut down the issue, after a Justice Department memo said there was no evidence to suggest that Epstein was murdered or that he had a 'client list'. Bondi's handling of the issue sparked a clash inside the administration last week with FBI deputy director Dan Bongino, who failed to show up to work on Friday, threatening to resign. He has returned to the bureau—but his long-term future in the Trump administration remains uncertain. Despite Trump's attempts to kill the issue, it is unlikely to go away, and it has now cost him some political support. 'Dear President Trump, I voted for you 6 times. If wanting to see justice for the victims of crimes against children, makes me a bad person then so be it,' wrote a former supporter on X. You did this to yourself. Signed, A very bad person that will never stop.'

The president is spinning as hard as he can and insulting his own fans again.
Donald Trump intensified efforts to lay blame on the Epstein files elsewhere after a long-winded rant to a right-wing talk show. The president dialed in to Just the News, No Noise on Wednesday amid accusations his administration is concealing details of Epstein's crimes and the names of powerful associates—which for years, included the president himself. Speaking on the show, which airs on the fringe Real America's Voice Network, Trump labeled the Epstein case a 'hoax' and placed blame squarely onto the Democrats as he scrambles to stem the bleeding from a row with his own supporters. He suggested Democrats invented the whole thing, yet then dissed his own fans and fumed that Republicans aren't sticking together.

Critics are calling out President Donald Trump for marking Memorial Day with a wild all-caps rant in which he slammed the previous administration as 'scum,' attacked former President Joe Biden, and railed against judges who've blocked parts of his agenda. Trump on Monday wrote: Memorial Day is typically a somber holiday intended to honor the nation's war dead. Trump, however, spent at least part of the day airing his grievances. In addition to the all-caps rant on his Truth Social page, he also fired off another threat at Harvard University, gave a speech at Arlington National Cemetery in which he bragged that he has 'everything' during his second term in office, and reposted a message calling Biden a 'decrepit corpse.'

Trump's critics put him on blast: Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic who wouldn't be allowed to manage a Wendy's. But I guess we all have to pretend like this is normal and not 25th amendment behavior. People who treat this as acceptable are the insane ones. — Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25) May 26, 2025 This is what's baffling about the "Trump wins because he talks like a normal person" argument: if anyone you knew went on a rant like this, you'd say, "Chill the fuck out, man." This is not what a normal person sounds like. — James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) May 26, 2025 Truly amazing to consider how much time has been spent the last few weeks taking about Joe Biden's mental health — Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP'S FORMER FIXER) (@speechboy71) May 26, 2025 Is there even a conventional wisdom for why he posts like this on every holiday now? Or is it just something embarrassing and obscene that we all agree we're better off just pretending isn't happening? — Andrew Egger (@EggerDC) May 26, 2025 Trump can't even show basic respect on Memorial Day. Utterly unfit for office. — Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) May 26, 2025 This is how Trump chooses to memorialize Americans--Republicans, Democrats, whites, people of color, men, women--who died fighting for their is about as unpresidential as one can get. — Steven Pifer (@steven_pifer) May 26, 2025 Nothing but a pathetic dishonorable old man. — Fred Wellman (@FPWellman) May 26, 2025 Thank you sir, for this uplifting message of unity on Memorial Day. You are literally the greatest Commander-in-Chief since President Ben Franklin broke bread with the Native Americans at the very first Memorial Day to honor the lives lost during the Trade War of 1812. — Boston Globe Pitchbot (@BostonSatire) May 26, 2025 His bone spurs must be bothering him today, or maybe he is using this Memorial Day to remember how he harrassed military heroes like John McCain. Or how he said that those who defend our country and died are "losers." — Bustopher Jones (@lwqpas) May 26, 2025 Remember the outrage when HRC used the term Deplorable. Trump is deplorable. — Michael Snell (@nickdangerca) May 27, 2025 Your president is insane. — Jeff Talks (@JeffFromNH) May 26, 2025 Inspirational as fuck — ^^Liz^^ (@LizMpersonal) May 26, 2025
