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.

    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.

      He needs to get the MAGA true believers to rat on any fake MAGA who changed their opinion so ice can deport them as a priority to Alligator Alcatraz for bullets and swamp burials

    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!”

    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?

    John Steward actually wrote a poem to conservatives about this situation, it goes like this:

    How, Does, My, Ass, Taste, Now ?

    I’m guessing this is why they are working on rigging the elections. So he’ll be insulated even from people that peel off due to his pedophile platform.

        He does need them, though he may not think so. Support isn’t just for voting. His narcissism needs people to like him, and his entire personality can collapse without it (possibly to suicidal levels). They support him in more tangible ways, as well, such as counter protest actions.

        Just in general, fascism needs to maintain the illusion of widespread, inevitable “populist” support. That’s one reason why big public protests are important even if they don’t have tangible results right away.

    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.
