John,
Something rare is happening: MAGA is turning on Donald Trump.
This week, MAGA influencers erupted after the Trump administration released a heavily edited memo about Jeffrey Epstein’s death—and refused to disclose more. Even right-wing media is demanding answers.
But the backlash reveals something deeper: For years, the media—and too often, Democrats—failed to hold Trump accountable for his close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. All while Trump used Epstein to manipulate his base by spreading lies and conspiracies about the Democratic Party.
Of course, now Trump is calling the Epstein scandal “boring” and says only “bad people” care.
Trump’s change of heart is likely because if there were a thorough investigation into Epstein and his enablers, his name might be in there. After all, they partied and chased women together.
They rode on each other's private jets. They were neighbors in Palm Beach and fixtures in each other’s social circles.
And according to Trump’s own biographer Michael Wolff, they were “best friends” for nearly a decade.
That relationship has never been fully scrutinized. Not by the press. Not by the Justice Department. And not by the Democratic Party.
Even MAGA voters want the truth. So why are Democrats and many in the media still staying silent?
Epstein’s crimes were horrific. The public deserves to know who enabled him—and who looked the other way.
That includes Donald Trump.
The silence has gone on too long.
Thanks for standing with us,
