As Donald Trump continues to be plagued by the administration’s problems with possible documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the sex offender of the deceased, he is relying on a tried and tested strategy.
The problem with the president, however, is that his attack plan may inadvertently compete with his most loyal supporters.
During the long social posts of truth on Wednesday morning, Trump began in a familiar way – blaming Epstein’s controversy on “radical left Democrats.” He said the episode was just the latest in a series of “scam” fabricated by his political opponents to disappoint him.
“These scams and scams are good at Democrats,” he wrote. “They are not good at governing, are not good at policy, and are not good at picking winner candidates.”
In the past, Trump used this kind of anti-historic rhetoric to call his supporters to him – a champion of embattled outsiders, not satisfied with face-to-face with privilege and wealthy.
However, the potential flaws of the presidential strategy are evident in his post as he turns to blame his party and his supporters because he is talking about the left-wing plan.
“My past supporters have fallen into this nonsense, hooks, threads and pendants,” he wrote. “They haven’t learned a lesson yet, maybe never.”
In a later speech at the Oval Office, Trump continued to blame himself, saying “some stupid Republicans, some stupid Republicans have fallen into the network.”
The president is drawing the front line on the Epstein issue, which splits its side. It also has the potential to cut the foundations of its political power.
Trump’s success has two core messages from his supporters, an outsider who fights corrupt institutions, who tells it like this. At a time when many voters say they are tired of polished politicians emitting opinions, Trump’s base thinks he is real—ungraceless and controversial, yes, yes, but honest.
Trump, who never shys away from wild conspiracy theories or those who embrace them, now finds himself not seeing “credible” evidence that suggests rich and powerful in the Epstein case, while those who believe otherwise are suckers or fools.
His transfer comments – Epstein’s files should be posted, without files, any possible files are a scam – also makes him look less like a straightforward Sagittarius, but more like a man with something to hide.
He had problems trying to prove the negative. Currently, some of his supporters have not purchased it.
In an interview with Politico, the conservative Firebrand Laura Loomer warned that if Trump does not change his course, Epstein’s story would be “same as before”. Her suggestion to appoint an independent investigator to deal with the case is that Trump will not be willing to follow the measures given how he opposed past special lawyers.
But he blames political opponents for their success in strategy that can only work if Democrats bait.
Dan Pfeiffier, who served as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, recently wrote that they could avoid this pitfall by expanding Trump’s “make America great again” hierarchy.
“If this issue is too relevant to Democratic efforts to hurt Trump, it will polarize along the party line and return unsatisfied Magma voters to Trump’s camp.”
Currently, the government is called on to share more information about Epstein, a rare source of American public consensus. A YouGov poll shows that 79% of Americans want the government to release “all documents.” These include 75% of Republican respondents and 85% of Democrats.
A Democratic poll obtained by Politico found that 58% of respondents believed Trump “maybe or absolutely” involved in the cover-up.
If the polls absolutely tend toward Trump, Republican officials (Republican officials) – those men and women who deal with professional livelihoods can stay in the president’s good grace – mainly to continue to stick with him.
Congressional Republicans are supporting the president’s legislative agenda, despite the small number of major votes this week. Despite some calling for greater transparency, House conservatives have repeatedly rejected Democratic attempts to release all remaining Epstein’s archives.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is in charge of these efforts, responded to earlier comments asking for more Epstein archives, saying he was misquoted and that he only wanted the public to see “credible” information – the same language Trump used.
Currently, Epstein’s story is a frustrating distraction for the will of a president accustomed to the news cycle and national concerns. In the case of Republican control over Washington, the dispute will only hear his presidency if Trump’s own allies allow it.
But if Trump’s faithful complaints and dissatisfactions are slated to cause significant losses to the Republican Party in next year’s mid-congressional elections.
If Democrats have control over one or both of the Congresses – and gain their investigative capabilities, Epstein’s archives and Trump’s connection to them could go from political juggling to the central wonder.
