Recent news reports indicate that President Donald Trump has publicly criticized some of his Republican supporters, labeling them as “stupid Republicans” and “weaklings” for their focus on the Jeffrey Epstein case, which he refers to as a “hoax” and “bullshit.” In a series of statements, including a Truth Social post and remarks to reporters, Trump expressed frustration with supporters who believe he is withholding information related to the Epstein files, asserting that they are inadvertently aiding Democrats by pursuing what he calls a baseless narrative. He went as far as saying he no longer wants the support of those who question his approach to the Epstein matter, stating, “I don’t want their support anymore!” This has caused confusion and division among his base, with some MAGA supporters feeling betrayed, as noted by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who described the situation as placing American voters in “uncharted territory.” The backlash has sparked significant discussion on social media platforms like X, where users have highlighted Trump’s strong language and the fracturing within the GOP over this issue.
