“Back It”: Some Central American Trump supporters are not shocked by Epstein’s profile | Donald Trump

IFrom media personality Tucker Carlson to activist Laura Loomer Marjorie Taylor Greene. Usually firmly supported Donald Trumpall criticized his government for handling documents about late-stage offenders Jeffrey Epstein.

But more complex and subtle sights have emerged in towns across the United States to remind people that like any other political voter, Trump voters are not a giant either.

Some supporters of the U.S. president are undoubtedly energetic about the Epstein issue and urge Congress to push for greater transparency. “This is the first call we’ve received. So far,” said Eric Burlison, a Republican Congressman from Missouri. Tell CNN this week. “It’s about 500 to one.”

However, others seem to have many other crises that seem to threaten Trump’s political career, so others seem to be shrugging. They remain very loyal to the president they believe is providing low inflation, strong border security and a sweeping president Reversal of gradual policy. They are willing to accept the White House’s advice to “trust Trump.”

That’s the popular mood this week JohnstownPennsylvania, former steel town and Fortress of Democracy, swung a lot for Trump in the election last November.

Teddy, 55, was sitting on a bench in Central Park, downtown Johnstown, wearing a star and striped hat. “Epstein-He’s dead, that’s it, it’s over.”

He reportedly wasn’t worried that Trump’s name was listed in Epstein’s archives that had not yet been published? “That’s a bunch of nonsense,” Teddy said. “The world should keep moving forward and overcome it.”

Curt, 51, is another Trump supporter in Central Park, who was recently released from state prisons and expressed a similar view. He said the only person who was in tension with Trump and Epstein was the Democrats.

“Epstein is a shit and got what he deserves. As for Trump, they have no evidence that he actually did anything.”

Pennsylvania Crucial On the number of votes to win the White House 270 election college votes. Rural areas in the western part of the state responded particularly favorably to his commitment to bringing back manufacturing, reducing the cost of living and expelling immigrants. Trump won Cambria County, including Johnstown, accounting for 30% of Kamala Harris.

At local Walmart, Pam also asked not to give her a last name, saying she did not believe Trump’s name was in the archives. “Trump has morality – it seems he may not have, but the depths of his doing. He wants to protect America when no one else does.”

As for media coverage of the story, she said: “My uncle is in the Secret Service. He once told me that everything you see on TV is what they want you to believe, not what actually happened.”

Trump has been under increasing pressure Political friends The enemy will all release more information about the Justice Department’s investigation into Epstein, a shameful financier who officials ruled to be killed in 2019 due to suicide while awaiting trial on sexual trafficking charges.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to disclose other materials related to a possible Epstein client and the circumstances surrounding his death, and the Justice Department revoked the course this month and said there was no basis for continuing the investigation and no evidence to suggest the client list.

This sparked outcry from some Trump supporters bases who have long believed that the administration has masked Epstein’s ties to the rich and powerful. On Friday, Trump Reject report Bondi was told in May that his own name appeared in the Epstein archives.

However, the Guardian found in interviews in multiple states that Republicans are often willing to bring Trump the benefits of suspicion — and suspect that he is a victim of double standards.

Gavin Rollins, an attorney from Orlando, Florida, acknowledged the administration’s initial newsletters raised expectations, but praised Trump for his “amazing work.”

“I think the thing about Epstein, I hope things are different,” he admitted. “I don’t think the launch is going well. I would say it’s important, but I also believe that grace is given to people, and he has become so much.”

Jeff Davis, Republican chairman of Greenville County, South Carolina, accused the media of using Epstein’s controversy to mischaracterize the Maga’s divide (making America great again) movement.

“I think the Epstein issue is obviously crucial, but I think most people are concerned about that the Trump agenda (Maga’America First’ agenda) is moving forward. I think it’s a good idea. [Epstein is] Used as a distraction. ”

Davis added: “We can walk and chew gum at the same time. They need to pursue Epstein on the n-level Trump administration It is being done, not analyzing this problem from the past. ”

“If Donald Trump’s name is about something, it’s like Shark’s Day, and if it’s someone else’s name, ‘Oh, that’s no big deal, that’s no big deal, and it’s swept under the carpet. I’m tired of Trump’s whole focus.”

While Democrats try to focus on the Epstein legend, some are ready to move on. James Bennett, who runs a timber company and is the Republican chairman of Calhoun County, Alabama, said: “It’s about carrying out as far as I care about Trump.

This may prove to be wishful thinking. Only 17% of Americans agree with Trump’s handling of the Epstein case, weaker than the rating the president received on any other issue Reuters/IPSOS polls last week. Among Republicans, 35% approved, 29% disapprove, while the rest said they were unsure or did not answer the question.

Republican adviser and pollster Whit Ayres made a distinction between Trump voters who, along with those his promises, drew inflation, juiced, closed the southern border and cracked down on “wake up” culture.

“It’s a big deal for the Maga Group,” Ayers said. “Many of them are involved in all the conspiracy theories around Epstein, whether he’s abused a group of children and then covered up one child, or the symptoms of a broad and deep conspiracy that protects elites and is generally privileged.

“It’s disturbing for others who voted for Trump, but the appeal to the Maga crowd isn’t as eye-catching. Their interest in whether he will be able to reduce inflation than in Epstein. That’s not to say Epstein isn’t disturbing to them, but more importantly.”

Another survey published this week once again raises the challenge of traditional ideas. one Economist/YouGov Poll Republican voters identified as “magazine” were found to be more likely to approve of how the president responded to Epstein’s survey (56%) than those who were not (38%). Overall, 45% of Republicans approved, while 25% disagree, and the remaining 30% are uncertain.

Such magazine voters are Mike BoatmanAt 57, he participated in about a hundred Trump campaigns, including the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, when the Republican candidate survived the assassination attempt. His faith remains unshakable.

“I’m supporting President Trump,” said Boatman, an independent contractor in Evansville, Indiana. “He knows more about the situation than we do. My focus on me is more important than Epstein’s archives.

“President Trump has too many things to do. He has to do it for three and a half years. Don’t get me wrong, I’m against pedophiles, whoever has done it at Epstein should be punished. But there are more important things.”

Still, the story dominates the headlines and applies heat to the Republicans in the House. They went to rest one day early to avoid voting on the release of Epstein materials. House Speaker Mike Johnson insists that Epstein’s case is “Not a scamAlthough Trump uses this word.

The president has been resisting, describing supporters as “The weak“He is helping Democrats. “I don’t want their support anymore! ” Trump said in a social media post.

This week, he Trying to distract yourself His followers say without any basis that Barack Obama and his officials fabricated intelligence reports that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, accusing his ex of treason. Next, he might try something more extreme to change the narrative.

Reed GalenThe president of the Union is a democratic alliance, he said: “My real fear is that he has put us in Shaking the dog All the distractions don’t work properly, he decided to throw some huge bright, shiny objects that put us all in a stumbling block. ”

But Galen is skeptical and will have far-reaching political implications for the Epstein scandal. “For me, the other side is: What’s the difference? I shouldn’t say it’s a way to reduce crime Jeffrey Epstein or the victim’s pain. I look at this from a purely electoral perspective.

“He is not leaving the office. The medium term is 15 months, only 16 months. I think it’s the feed of the left and the media, even the real Margus, who are “what happened?” Yes. Do I think we will talk about this from now on the end? It’s hard to believe. ”
