Trump's ability to elude paying for his crimes and corruption is legendary. Teflon Don built up a following by posing as a strong man who could save America from the devilish democrats and immigrants who are invading the country.
His harsh rhetoric riddled with lies appealed to a segment of Americans who felt disenfranchised and were searching for a savior.
MAGA was born out of chaos. And that chaos was Trump breaking every rule, every law, and pursuing every perceived enemy with wild abandon.
For the last nine years Trump cultivated his cult like a gardener watering the weeds instead of the flowers. He nurtured white Nationalists, the KKK, and anti-government goons willing to do or say anything for him. His MAGA base swelled over the years and carried him to two terms in the White House.
Then the Jeffrey Epstein scandal rolled over Donny like a tsunami out of nowhere. In a panic he turned on his own base when they demanded all of the Epstein files be released and he called them weaklings. MAGA figured out Trump and Pam Bondi were lying to them about turning over all of the files. Worse, they defended their lies with new lies.
MAGA melted down. Some die-hard followers have limped back after attacking Trump for days. Either because of fear or they just had too much of the Kool aid for too long.
But the bulk of MAGA nuts are still raging about Trump's betrayal. Their holy Epstein conspiracy that was going to expose Bill Clinton and a host of pedophile liberals went up in smoke instead. After nine years MAGA minions are now being told to not even talk about THE CONSPIRACY that provided a foundation for their whole MAGA movement.
Wait a moment.
Does this mean that Trump's very pissed off base is going to do everything they can to make him miserable? I suspect they're a vindictive bunch who will embarrass and harass him until he leaves the White House - and more than likely afterwards. Haters know how to hate.
The rest of the country is slowly realizing how vulnerable Trump has become with the growing Epstein scandal. Democrats are calling for transparency and demanding all Epstein files be released. The majority - an astounding 93% of Americans - polled about the scandal say Trump is trying to hide something.
In times like this Trump normally throws out bright and shiny objects to change the conversation in the news. However, the diversions have done little to change the subject. Even Trump's libel lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and Fox News is boomeranging on him. If he follows through owner Murdock will be more than ready with the receipts. Real evidence.
Trump has to win back the trust of his followers. That's why he ordered the attorney general to seek the release of grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The problem is the grand jury indictment will only be a sliver of the information that's still being concealed.
As it Stands, the bottom line is Trump betrayed his followers and there's going to be hell to pay.
