Trump’s most loyal backers revolt as he says to ignore Epstein files scandal: ‘This is NOT going away’

President Donald Trump is facing major backlash from his base over his Truth Social post urging patience with embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi and to “not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein.”

The Saturday afternoon post did not sit well with Trump’s most hardcore supporters, especially those who want Trump to live up to his campaign promise release the so-called “Epstein files.”

Trump’s post was “ratioed,” meaning there were more replies — 45,800 as of Monday morning — than likes — 40,900 as of Monday morning. The ratio indicates that the post was extremely unpopular.

“We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,” the president posted, alleging that the “Epstein files” were “written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration…”

Trump’s post drew anger from some of his most ardent supporters.

“This is NOT going away and will leave a stain on your presidency!” wrote jamesangst.

“Wow, realize the majority of your base wants to get to the truth, no matter who is guilty! We realize they likely put innocent people on the list. We want the guilty punished. If it’s been covered up, we want the people involved. If all the records have been hidden or deleted, we want the people responsible,” he continued.

“This is unbelievably disappointing and will make many people believe you or some people close to you are criminals who are involved.”

Trump supporter DeWayne Sykes said the president will lose his base if he goes back on his promises surrounding the Epstein files.

“This is going to cost you so many supporters. 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,” Sykes wrote.

“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.”

On July 6, the Department of Justice and the FBI issued a joint memo saying there was “no incriminating ‘client list’” and “no credible evidence” that Epstein blackmailed co-conspirators who sexually abused underaged girls provided by him, Axios first reported.

MAGA was not buying the explanation after Bondi told Fox News in February that the list was on her desk.

“You aren’t reading the room Mr President,” posted Democratsux63.

“You can’t call the Epstein files fake, say nobody cares and warn MAGA to fall in line. You said Pam Bondi is doing a fantastic job, your administration is perfect and Epstein is just an Obama distraction. We don’t just fall in line,” they wrote.

“If you’re Administration is perfect then who is the real fool?”

Another supporter warned Trump that he is not bigger than the base.

“President Trump, reading these comments should tell you that you don’t understand MAGA,” posted the handle @laureleye. “You didn’t create MAGA. MAGA created you. And all you are doing is feeding into the divide by not addressing the problem.”
