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.

      Nope.

      They are turning on his underlings, but I have not seen a single major influencer call Trump out directly. “It’s Bondi’s fault,” is the party line, which is unreal given how unflinchingly loyal she’s been.

      The headlines claiming Trumps supporters are turning on him feel like clickbait.

      They voted for him in November despite him already being a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

      Being a child fucker is just another thing for them to throw on the pile of things they’ve chosen to memory-hole.

      They will ALWAYS support him NO MATTER WHAT. That’s how cults work.

    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.

    He grabbed them by the pussy. Americans are mafia children. Honestly maybe it’s time for Americans to think about war, suffering, or suicide.

    I could’ve sworn Trump pushed pizza gate stuff in 2016 but maybe he never directly did. (Not that I’m expecting him to remain consistent on anything.)

    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.

    Thinking about how low these folks usually go, I’m wondering why they haven’t just worked up a fake hatchet job file selectively incriminating their enemies and exonerating themselves. It possibly wouldn’t matter if it were called into question by evidence of tampering. Their devotees are indoctrinated enough to swallow almost anything -especially if it reinforced their biases against people they’ve already been trained to hate. What fallout are they afraid of in releasing a doctored list? I’d wager this will be the eventual outcome. A fake file that most know to be fake, but will mollify his base.

    “Hoax” ia the same term he used to refer to the well-documented evidence that he’s a Russian stooge.

    Donny really trying to sweep this under the rug, he will continue to alienate many who support him
