Trump On If He’s ‘Effectively Disowning’ His Supporters: ‘I’ve Lost a Lot of Faith In Certain People’

 

President Donald Trump pulled no punches in doubling down on his recent attack on his own supporters who continue to fume over the so-called “Epstein Files.”

“You mentioned past supporters when you were talking about the Epstein issue. Does that mean that you’re effectively disowning any supporters who are now calling—” a reporter asked Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Trump cut off the question and added, “I’ve lost a lot of faith in certain people, yeah, I’ve lost. Because they got duped by the Democrats.”

“The Democrats are good for nothing. They’ve done a terrible job. They almost destroyed our country. If I didn’t get elected, all these numbers you’re hearing about—they found $25 billion and another $25 billion is coming in, and hundreds of billions of dollars is pouring into our country,” Trump continued as he launched a lengthy defense of his policies.

Earlier in the day, Trump slammed Democrats in a social media post and added, “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. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

He continued by accusing those in his MAGA base who continue to focus on Epstein of being like Democrats.

“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!”
