bloomshorts Trump’s Harsh Words for Supporters
US President Donald Trump has openly criticized his own supporters and members of the Republican Party, calling them ‘stupid’ and ‘weaklings’ for their inquiries into the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump dismissed the concerns as a Democratic hoax, despite previous endorsements of similar conspiracy theories by his base.
The Epstein Scandal Unfolds
Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in prison under controversial circumstances during Trump’s first term. The far-right has speculated about a cover-up involving Epstein’s alleged client list of powerful figures. However, the Justice Department has denied these claims, stating there is no evidence of such a list or foul play in Epstein’s death.
Internal Divisions and Backlash
Trump’s remarks have sparked outrage among his supporters, leading to a rare split in his loyal base. The administration’s reluctance to release further details on the Epstein case has only fueled the controversy, with even close allies like Senator Ted Cruz calling for full transparency.
