President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he went on.

    Every day the gymnastics needed for a Trump supporter gets more and more convoluted. First, he was speaking up in favor of H1B workers (so much for support of American workers), then his “no new wars” turned into broad support of Israel and military actions taken, now his “drain the swamp” has turned into “it’s not permitted to even talk about Epstein”.

    More proof that he is a shameless huckster with no honor in him at all. Sadly, much of his base is quite used to making excuses on his behalf and I’d imagine they can keep this up for quite a while. What a scumbag. I won’t be upset when he leaves the White House, whether that’s due to health problems, impeachment or running out the clock.

        The gaslighting by Trump is absolutely insane, and what’s worse is the republicans who are supposed to be grown men copy catting his childish behaviour.

        No, because HitlerPig is a text book psychopath who has no feelings or emotions other than greed and hate, and he teamed up with the two richest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs to RIG the election. All of the have no loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see it as a fat, lazy target, to be ruthlessly exploited.

        The election was rigged, and we all know it. HitlerPig and The Goblin have all but admitted it in numerous statements.

    I just watched this scene like 2 days ago. Parker flips out and fires all his loyal henchmen because Clown asks him a question, and he’s an utter and insane moron. It’s a pretty cliche trope. But in that one, Riri beats beats the shit out of him with a mech suit.

    Wait, wasn’t your whole political philosophy built around ignorance and spineless loyalty? If you train them to fall for scams and conspiracies don’t get shocked when they go for another conspiracy that you don’t like.

    …because I don’t want their support anymore!

    Damn, he’s gone “full Hitler in the bunker”. “Those damn traitors! They failed me!”

    That’s generally what cult leaders do, they don’t bend to their followers, they beat them down as weak and fake believers until they fall back in line. And the ones who do get out immediately become the enemy and the devil in one.

    This is Jim Jones/David Koresh type shit

      David koresh wasn’t in jim jones weight class. He was a pedo manipulator but those kids are dead because of the ATF and that piece of shit Janet Reno.

        Watch koresh berate his followers for doubting him though, that’s the same type of manipulation even if they weren’t the same. Currently that dude who runs Twin flames is doing all that abusive “how dare you question me, your god” bullshit.

    The one thing that is in the back of my mind is what is Trump going to do next in order to attempt to cover up this Epstein list situation? Will he declare war on a foreign country? Will he declare war on the people of the United States who stand against him?
