Ex-President Donald Trump has been working tirelessly to divert the national focus from the controversy surrounding the Epstein Files and the mysterious ‘no client list’ document. This effort has attracted negative attention from his once-staunch MAGA followers. Over the weekend, Trump lent his voice to the vexing situation on Truth Social, proclaiming support for the embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi – she has unfortunately become the focal point of MAGA adherents’ dissatisfaction over the Epstein Files affair.
Trump pointed the finger at several figures, concluding that this situation was most likely orchestrated by individuals under the services of notable politicians such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, as well as James Comey and John Brennan. ‘Isn’t it strange how the limelight is being turned onto documents potentially created by Obama, Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the shamefully ineffective Biden administration?’ Trump wrote. The post insinuated that these alleged creators are the same culprits behind the concocted Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier against him. Unfortunately, his entourage is proving to be their pawns, playing right into these unsuccessful political schemes.
Needless to say, Trump did not allow room for queries related to the Epstein Files document during his encounters with journalists. Instead, he chided them for harping on this non-issue, claiming there are much more pressing concerns they should focus their lenses on, such as the Texas flood disaster. His nonchalant demeanor has sparked further backlash with social media platforms buzzing with arguments both for and against his recent posts.
A user on X, mirroring similar online sentiment, rebuked Trump’s dismissive attitude: ‘This treatment is deeply offensive and it’s high time we stopped making scapegoats of innocent people like Bondi, Bongino, or Kash. We need to hear straight from Trump himself.’ It’s evident that the supporters are dissatisfied with the turn of events.
In an incredible twist, Trump proposes that the Epstein files are, in fact, a concoction by Obama, Hillary, and Democrat operatives. The Biden administration seems content to hide behind these baseless accusations aimed at steering attention away from their incessant blunders.
With no regard for reason, his post suggested that ex-President Obama was the writer of the Epstein files, triggering a wave of disbelief amongst the online community. One bemused user posted, ‘Claiming Obama wrote the Epstein files is an allegation that will go down in history, unfortunately.’ Trump’s baseless claim is merely an attempt to disparage the reputation of his esteemed predecessor.
It’s no secret that Trump has been associated with Jeffrey Epstein, with evidence of their encounters in photographs and video footage with Ghislaine Maxwell. During his 2024 campaign run, then 79-year-old Trump promised to disclose the Epstein Files post his victorious ascension to the Oval Office.
However, his recent actions contradict his earlier pledges. His assertion that Epstein is ‘a figure that nobody cares about’ flies in the face of many MAGA supporters’ viewpoints. Influential figures including Laura Loomer, Steve Bannon, Liz Wheeler, and Tucker Carlson have openly voiced their dissatisfaction and disappointment over the former president’s seemingly dismissive stance on this matter.
