This seems pretty stupid, even for Donald Trump.
Imagine if McDonald鈥檚 ran an ad campaign mocking Big Mac lovers. Or if PlayStation 2 referred to gamers as losers. Or if Lysol called its customers paranoid germaphobes.
This would be brand suicide.
In the shambolic maelstrom that is Trump 2.0, the doofus-in-chief is now attacking his fans. It鈥檚 like watching a circus clown stomp his trainer.
I had to twice read Trump鈥檚 unhinged Wednesday post, which is like getting a root canal and colonoscopy at the same time. Now, I don鈥檛 know what happened when Trump spent time with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe they played Monopoly and sipped Shirley Temples?
The U.S. president once called the convicted child sex trafficker a 鈥済reat guy.鈥 Ted Bundy? Oh, great guy.聽Now Trump 2.0 is trying to memory-hole the sealed Epstein files.
Epstein Files? There are no Epstein Files!
Here鈥檚 the thing: Trump does not grasp how much this case animates his base.
Jeffrey Epstein is to MAGA as computer chips are to Nvidia. So when the stooges and bootlickers in Trump 2.0 鈥 Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino 鈥 tried to pull a Houdini and disappear the case, they were taken aback by the backlash.
Pam hasn鈥檛 looked this distraught since Clairol discontinued her favourite hair dye.
Hey, dummies! You can鈥檛 spend years pouring kerosene on a conspiracy theory and not expect to get first-degree burns. Didn鈥檛 you realize you were screwing around in the QAnon sandbox?
Trump is a skilled pugilist when fighting detractors.
He is out of his depth when fighting supporters.

On Wednesday, rattled by the story that refuses to go away, Trump poked his tiny fingers into his grab bag of political tricks and tried to blame 鈥淩adical Left Democrats.鈥 OK. Sure.
The problem with trying to pin the Epstein Files on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden鈥檚 laptop or the Easter Bunny is the timeline makes no sense. Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking in July 2019 鈥 when Trump was president. Epstein died in prison under mysterious circumstances a month later 鈥 when Trump was president.
I鈥檓 not saying Don Jr. strangled Epstein in his cell. I鈥檓 just saying it wasn鈥檛 Hillary Clinton or George Soros.
Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested Tuesday that she has no plans to step down as she dodged questions about Jeffrey Epstein and her clash with a top FBI official, seeking to press ahead with a business-as-usual approach. (July 15, 2025)
AP VideoPerhaps realizing he can鈥檛 implicate Radical Left Democrats 鈥 even Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Joe Rogan are rejecting this insanity 鈥 Trump is now test-driving a backfiring strategy.
He is lashing out at his voters.
A couple of days ago, an exasperated Trump referred to those still asking questions about Epstein as 鈥渂ad people.鈥 He acted like reasonable concerns over a powerful pedophile ring were as inexplicable as someone asking questions about plot holes in 鈥淪cooby-Doo.鈥
Who cares? It鈥檚 not real!
On Wednesday, he took it further: 鈥淭heir new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 鈥榖ulls—t,鈥 hook, line, and sinker. They haven鈥檛 learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years 鈥 Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work 鈥 because I don鈥檛 want their support anymore!鈥
Ah, sir? Your disapproval rating has already cratered to a record low for any second term president in history. The only way you could be less popular is if you banned hot dogs and demanded everyone wear Che Guevara T-shirts. Maybe nothing but Trans-Siberian Orchestra in elevators?
Trump can鈥檛 afford to lose one red hat, let alone millions.
To be sure, many MAGA influencers 鈥 especially the vampires on Fox News 鈥 will try to scrub the Epstein story. If Trump called Laura Ingraham and told her to be more like Martha Stewart, she鈥檇 spend the next three years running her聽yap about gardening, cooking and home decor.
But this Republican champagne wing does not reflect the MAGA beer base.
The red hats are right to demand answers in the Jeffrey Epstein case. This will not go away. They demand the truth.
Donald Trump has finally met a group he can鈥檛 bully 鈥 his fans.
