Tantrum
Trump is such a difficult guest/roommate/colleague/friend.
Trump is accusing some of his onetime supporters of being “weaklings” who are falling prey to Democratic “bullshit” about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — concluding that he no longer wants their support.
The message was the clearest sign yet of the cracks emerging in the president’s coalition, many of whom are loudly demanding more information about the disgraced financier, who has been subject to myriad conspiracies since his death by suicide in 2019. And some of his allies don’t appear to be listening, with Republicans in Congress taking steps Wednesday morning to potentially force the Justice Department to release more documents.
How is this possible when the dictator specifically told them not to?
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote in a missive on Truth Social. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”
Ouch! That’s how he talks to his fans? I don’t know about you but I would be quite offended, and would demand a refund.
“I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” he wrote. “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!”
I don’t want it any more! You ruined it! You ruined everything! I hate you! I’m never talking to you again! Never never never never!!!
I will agree he has had more ‘success’, if by ‘success’ he means breaking shit. Of course, no other president has ever tried to break so much stuff. Most of them are more selective.
How often I have come here to say something, only to find that iknklast has said the same thing, only much more eloquently.
Why do I get the feeling that the Justice Department’s document shredders are going to be very busy for a few days?
@ #1: agreed. @ #2: agreed.
But remember, Trump’s dictatorship is only in its first bloom of youth. He has a lot of history still to make, as the living embodiment of the Platonic philosopher-king. Well, sort of. Amongst his MAGA supporters at the moment there could well be a whole lot of head-scatching going on, most audible I’d say down in Texas, when there’s no distractions like passing tornadoes tearing stuff apart.
There’s an opening there for some entrepreneur: MAGA caps with built-in headscratchers, and loudspeakers endlessly chanting: “Stay calm! Don’t panic! Don’t PANIC! DON’T PANIC.!!!!!!”

The hosts of the Bulwark have been all over this for several days. Its quite something to see the very same people who were pushing conspiracy theories about the Epstein “cover-up” like five minutes ago dismiss the whole thing as a liberal hoax. Good for them that they don’t have a spine, or it would surely break from such a rapid 180° turn.
Well, them there liberals are very cunning, so the safest thing is to assume that everything you don’t like is a liberal hoax.
And with perfect timing;
Hmm, where have I heard that name before?
Punished for prosecuting
Trump’s friendspeople that Trump has never heard of and never met, perhaps? And I’m sure the family connection is just a coincidence.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjxkkpgn1ko.amp
