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.

Every day the gymnastics needed for a Trump supporter gets more and more convoluted. First, he was speaking up in favor of H1B workers (so much for support of American workers), then his "no new wars" turned into broad support of Israel and military actions taken, now his "drain the swamp" has turned into "it's not permitted to even talk about Epstein".

More proof that he is a shameless huckster with no honor in him at all. Sadly, much of his base is quite used to making excuses on his behalf and I'd imagine they can keep this up for quite a while. What a scumbag. I won't be upset when he leaves the White House, whether that's due to health problems, impeachment or running out the clock.

Woah ho ho, buddy! Keep escalating. Call them names. Gaslight them. They care so much about this. Just keep pissing them off so that they can’t ever let go. I love it. For once, I completely approve.

Need*

You don't need their support anymore. Best case scenario you can't run again, worst case it's all rigged and you'll win no matter what. They got you in and the Heritage foundation is completing their decades long effort to essentially overthrow the US government.

"Hoax" ia the same term he used to refer to the well-documented evidence that he's a Russian stooge.

if its a hoax, why keep denying thiers no list, or its made up.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

His supporters and the whole maga movement are born out of qanon and pizzagate. There's no way he's going to handwave his way into them giving up on their one unifying cause.

Trump's a paedo himself, ofc hes's gonna get all defensive over this

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm guessing this is why they are working on rigging the elections. So he'll be insulated even from people that peel off due to his pedophile platform.

I just watched this scene like 2 days ago. Parker flips out and fires all his loyal henchmen because Clown asks him a question, and he's an utter and insane moron. It's a pretty cliche trope. But in that one, Riri beats beats the shit out of him with a mech suit.

Praying for someone to beat the shit out of Trump with a mech suit

They are weaklings. Because they are gonna roll over and show their bellies till Faux "News" tells them their opinions. They'll mental gymnastics Epstein Island into Yam Tits being on the lists because he was trying to save those kids.

He's a fucking pedofile and MAGAts are pedo-supporters.
