You Promised Us': Trump's Epstein Post On Truth Social Backfires

Source: crooksandliars.com



Slowly they turn, step by step...

By Conover Kennard — July 13, 2025

Donald J. Trump thought he was in his safe place on Truth Social when he unleashed a post trying to shut down talk about the Jeffrey Epstein files, but it swiftly backfired. First, Trump tried distracting the public with an attack on comedian Rosie O'Donnell yesterday, threatening to take away her citizenship because she dared to criticize King Covefe.

But everyone knew that the Epstein files scandal was on his mind, then behold, he posted about the notorious sex-trafficker in proper Trump form, throwing out red meat to his MAGA base by mentioning "Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan" and the “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL." And of course, he said, "They created the Epstein Files."

"This is going to cost you so many supporters," @Trustds1 writes. "I being one of them. I have been to multiple rallies and even was there on J6. This is one of the main things that needs fixed. Our 2 tiered system of justice needs to end. We the people are tired of it. They can't be charged with child trafficking without there being perpetrators..................................

It is worth reading the whole article. IMHO




"We want the ELITE PEDOS exposed!" .....You promised us that. Pam promised us that. Kash promised us that. Now it’s OUR fault bc we want that promise fulfilled and call Pam out every time she lies? What else has she lied to us about?"

Why didn’t Biden release them … then, he could have called it a “witch hunt” … as it is, why can’t he just “rewrite” them and release them?

There is little more that maga believes in and wants info about. The whole movement is largely based on the belief the deep state is hiding things and manipulating politicians in the background. Epstein is a key figure in their belief system.

Remember, this is a personality cult. Trump will come up with something that fits his needs and they'll adopt it, even if it's illogical. Nothing is more important to them than fealty to their dear leader.

I can only hope the hole is Very DEEP!

@SykesCharlie
The Master of Distraction spectacularly failed to distract. Instead, he (1) provided fodder to critics who suspect a cover-up, (2) guaranteed even more attention to the story, while (3) throwing the FBI’s #2, Dan Bongino, under the bus, (4) angering the MAGA base, and (5) digging a much, much deeper hole

telling us to ignore the central plank of his run.

From "Stop talking about it!" to "this makes us look bad!", they're pulling out all the tricks on this one. Caramel nougat in the middle of this one is probably getting pretty rancid about now...
