Funny how after all the blatant corruption this is the issue that splits the MAGA cult. I guess Trump really isn't untouchable. Maybe the Biden administration should have pushed to release the Epstein files before the election. Maybe they thought that would read as too politically motivated?

Whoa whoa there cowboy. This is barely into a news cycle. Give the puppeteers a chance to swing their propaganda blowtorches. The sheep will fall into line - they always do

This is longer than usual - he's also gotten ratioed on truth social which he never has before. It's normally 3 or so days for stuff to blow over within his camp. It's been 9 days now since the DOJ issued their memo that's sparked this all

I can't tell you what things will look like for certain, but this is not business as usual. Trump also normally doesn't directly insult his own supporters. He has been doing just that multiple times

Give them a bit longer and they'll make something up.

Fair points but also he definitely does directly insult his own supporters, or at least he shits on huge groups of people and then those people still vote for him.

Now, in this case he did call them “past supporters” to give it that whole “no trye Scotsman” feel so that anyone left supporting him or wanting to support him feels good about themselves. It gives those idiots a way out of the insult.
