MAGA’s New Target: Trump
Opinion Columnist, reporting from Washington
"He is the keeper of the secrets. He is
the one stealing away people’s liberties. He is the one weaponizing
government and protecting the ruling class.
- With ICE and DOGE, Trump deputized wolf packs to root around in Americans’ personal information.
- He got Republicans to give Stephen Miller his own army.
- Trump manipulates government to hurt his perceived enemies.
- He obscures rather than reveals, pushing aside reporters who ask penetrating questions in favor of Pravda-like partisans who take his side.
Trump’s supporters thought he would shed light on shady elites protecting their own money and power. Now MAGA is reckoning with the fact that Trump is the shady elite, shielding information about Jeffrey Epstein.
“So
the guy who spent his lifetime saying the deep state hides things from
you and represses you is now saying ‘We’ve got nothing to hide, trust
me,’” said the Trump biographer Tim O’Brien.
“And the people who follow
him don’t. They think he’s just as bad as the people he criticized
before he became president.”
Trump’s Truth Social posts backing up Pam Bondi’s claim that the Epstein files were much ado about nothing showed that same brutal disregard for his devout fans. They had taken him seriously? What fools!
- He tried to subdue his MAGAcolytes — his “boys” and “gals” — by ordering them not to “waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
- He said that those who are focused on the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax” are “selfish people,” “PAST supporters” and “weaklings” who had been “conned by the Lunatic Left.”
