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.

Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump's own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.

Are you saying that the trump tower is better than that building? Also, they destroyed the experience of the interiors, not just the exterior ornamentation.
Look at his ""jewel" in Manhattan, lol. I can't even say it's dated, because that had to be out of date when it was built. It's timelessly shitty.

Chicago has some gorgeous architecture and they won't let you do anything to their skyline to fuck it up. They are serious about it, so the context would have been forced on him. He doesn't get credit for that. Also, his architecture firm probably wouldn't let him fuck that up either. Again, Chicago and SOM, they're a proud, distinguished firm.

This is interesting... In the past when Trump has tried to push back on his followers he's followed the TACO principle. Like when he wanted to take credit for the COVID vaccines but his audience was anti-vax he quickly softened his language to "take it... if you want it tho. Maybe it's poison who knows?"
He's never been a leader - he's just been an amalgamation of all of the racism and conspiracy theories his followers have. He says "yes" or "maybe" to everything. I think this is the first time he's really said "no" though?
whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 1y
He's organized crime looking to continue his break into fascist dictator. His sycophants he's surrounded himself with don't care and prefer that he's a rapist and a pedo to try to control him, but the people he conned into voting for him buy bumper stickers like this:
So what happens when the ranks push back on the orders? He'll exile them if he thinks he can get away with throwing them under the same bus as his lawyers, AG, VP, etc or capitulate. But in this case capitulate means he'll probably try to redact himself and his fluffers from the docs then share them and hope they're dumb enough to accept the redacted reports.

It will depend on the media. If the media makes this into something bigger than Watergate, that's what it will be. People usually aren't cognizant of how much their thoughts on things are shaped by the narrative our media tells.
The media reporting alone creates this sort of assumption that something is important to everyone else. If you think all your fellow group members are feeling a certain way, you will try to feel that way. As that happens to enough people it creates a real trend in the herd with momentum.

Thinking about how low these folks usually go, I'm wondering why they haven't just worked up a fake hatchet job file selectively incriminating their enemies and exonerating themselves. It possibly wouldn't matter if it were called into question by evidence of tampering. Their devotees are indoctrinated enough to swallow almost anything -especially if it reinforced their biases against people they've already been trained to hate. What fallout are they afraid of in releasing a doctored list? I'd wager this will be the eventual outcome. A fake file that most know to be fake, but will mollify his base.

Every day the gymnastics needed for a Trump supporter gets more and more convoluted. First, he was speaking up in favor of H1B workers (so much for support of American workers), then his "no new wars" turned into broad support of Israel and military actions taken, now his "drain the swamp" has turned into "it's not permitted to even talk about Epstein".
More proof that he is a shameless huckster with no honor in him at all. Sadly, much of his base is quite used to making excuses on his behalf and I'd imagine they can keep this up for quite a while. What a scumbag. I won't be upset when he leaves the White House, whether that's due to health problems, impeachment or running out the clock.

Woah ho ho, buddy! Keep escalating. Call them names. Gaslight them. They care so much about this. Just keep pissing them off so that they can’t ever let go. I love it. For once, I completely approve.

You don't need their support anymore. Best case scenario you can't run again, worst case it's all rigged and you'll win no matter what. They got you in and the Heritage foundation is completing their decades long effort to essentially overthrow the US government.

His supporters and the whole maga movement are born out of qanon and pizzagate. There's no way he's going to handwave his way into them giving up on their one unifying cause.

The gaslighting by Trump is absolutely insane, and what's worse is the republicans who are supposed to be grown men copy catting his childish behaviour.

No, because HitlerPig is a text book psychopath who has no feelings or emotions other than greed and hate, and he teamed up with the two richest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs to RIG the election. All of the have no loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see it as a fat, lazy target, to be ruthlessly exploited.
The election was rigged, and we all know it. HitlerPig and The Goblin have all but admitted it in numerous statements.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y
I'm guessing this is why they are working on rigging the elections. So he'll be insulated even from people that peel off due to his pedophile platform.
rozodru@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
exactly. he doesn't need them anymore.
frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 1y
He does need them, though he may not think so. Support isn't just for voting. His narcissism needs people to like him, and his entire personality can collapse without it (possibly to suicidal levels). They support him in more tangible ways, as well, such as counter protest actions.
Just in general, fascism needs to maintain the illusion of widespread, inevitable "populist" support. That's one reason why big public protests are important even if they don't have tangible results right away.

I just watched this scene like 2 days ago. Parker flips out and fires all his loyal henchmen because Clown asks him a question, and he's an utter and insane moron. It's a pretty cliche trope. But in that one, Riri beats beats the shit out of him with a mech suit.

They are weaklings. Because they are gonna roll over and show their bellies till Faux "News" tells them their opinions. They'll mental gymnastics Epstein Island into Yam Tits being on the lists because he was trying to save those kids.
He's a fucking pedofile and MAGAts are pedo-supporters.

When Berlusconi was rumored to have had sex with a minor most if not all members of Parliament and senators in his coalition voted to certify that a 17-year-old girl was Mubarak's niece and that Berlusconi called a police station where she was being held in order to avoid a scandal.

My wife and I have been discussing this. My take is they’re gonna graduate from the list isn’t real to “Epstein isn’t real.” They’re gonna double speak the man out of existence to cull this list talk.
