President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

“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! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he went on.

The one thing that is in the back of my mind is what is Trump going to do next in order to attempt to cover up this Epstein list situation? Will he declare war on a foreign country? Will he declare war on the people of the United States who stand against him?

When the last republican president had an approval rating as shitty as trump's, he lucked into the worst terrorist attack in US history.

1000% tariffs. Invades Mexico.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

another 50% of canada tariffs, he seemed to have stop attacking china on tariffs as of late.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It will absolutely be against US citizens because MAGA cares far more about not having foreign wars, than having gestapo disappear US citizens.

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I hate that maga is perfectly fine with wars inside the country

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Could be a as simple as:

Not chicken out on those tariffs that [absolutely nobody actually believes are] going into effect in 14 days.

And if that hasn't fucked shit up good enough in a month, he could move on to plan B:

Not chicken out on his "50 days for Russia to end the Ukraine war" ultimatum.

Not chicken out on his “50 days for Russia to end the Ukraine war” ultimatum.

Remember when he said he'd have the russia-ukraine war ended within a few days of being in office? Yep, what a tosser.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

thats what putin told him to do, he probably noticed that was harder to do than he thought.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Russia does a nuke test to see how far he is willing to go.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

putin will probably suggest trump nuking his enemies, not putin of course.

Why are we still talking about when Putin nuked Ukraine? Isn't everyone over that?

Hopefully someone will pull a Kissinger. Nixon wanted to nuke North Vietnam. Kissinger told the joint chiefs to ignore any orders from Nixon since he was drunk and to wait for confirmation from Kissinger.

[–] oozynozh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

damn, Kissinger was a bastard but he was a cunning bastard and that's what made him so insidious

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 22 hours ago

That's what made Kissinger so disgusting and dangerous. He was not stupid and was legit cunning.

There is a difference between an asshole and an idiot.
