He's likely going to lose more support over this than any of the other shit he's pulled so far, but it's still only going to be a portion of his base, and the rest are going to just pretend they never cared about Epstein and keep the faith.

I just checked out r/conservative to gauge their temperature and the whole front page is Epstein with 90% of the posts condemning Trump and speculating on his complicity. This is a sub that has been OVERWHELMINGLY defensive of Trump on every other issue, no matter how nakedly corrupt. The story is only growing by the day and it may very well be what implodes MAGA.

Why now though? Trump has been linked to Epstein for years

Because of this "investigation" turning up "nothing" he's gotta say something about it and since he wants it buried this is where it's going

His base hasn't cared because this is literally why qanon was a thing- it was all about secret agent Trump taking on the narco pedo cabal, or at least making enough people believe that shit about him. Turns out i guess there's a limit to what credulous morons will reconcile in terms of glaring hypocrisies and Trump saying "yeah the pedo cabal is a left wing conspiracy" is incompatible with this qanon cult Trump fetish that's been created
