The problem for Trump’s base is that Trump keeps choosing himself over them.

The problem for Trump is that Trump’s base is more devoted to Q than to him.

Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz — widely suspected of raping underage girls — as AG.

Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi — who reportedly killed Florida’s Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation.

All for PRECISELY this moment — to cover up the Epstein case.

BREAKING - Trump gives Ghislaine Maxwell “limited immunity” to talk to administration officials

Are they letting Maxwell out of prison in exchange for lying that Trump was never part of Epstein’s sex trafficking?

Why else would govt talk to Maxwell - who’s already convicted?

I’ve prosecuted Trump. I’ve researched him. I’ve devoured every book and article on him.

He is DESPERATE — overreacting because the WSJ articles drew blood and are almost certainly true.

And now he’s botching everything. Suing WSJ? Terrible idea. Releasing Maxwell? Even worse.

Person A is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, indicted under Espionage Act

Person B has zero criminal history ever

Newspaper says Person A may’ve been a pedophile rapist and covered it up — so Person A accuses Person B of treason

Gosh how do we decide whom to believe? 🤔

BREAKING: Trump's FCC approves Paramount-Skydance merger after blocking it

Just DAYS after CBS (part of Paramount) fired Trump critic Stephen Colbert

Just WEEKS after CBS paid $36 million to Trump to settle his bullshit lawsuit vs 60 Minutes

TOTAL AND COMPLETE CORRUPTION

“No collusion”
“I won the election”
“She wasn’t my type”
“I never slept with her”
“It was a perfect phone call”
“We didn’t commit any fraud”
“I never paid her any hush money”
“There are no classified records here”

“There is no Epstein client list”

Gosh, why is Elon Musk so confident that there’s damning material in the secret unreleased Epstein files? It’s like he has some insider knowledge or something

2013 - Pam Bondi’s team at FL AG was set to join NY’s prosecution of Trump University — but Trump gave Bondi a $25,000 campaign check and the Trump U matter died

2025 - Bondi had the Epstein client list on her desk — but the matter has died

What did Trump give Bondi this time?
July 7, 2025 at 11:11 PM
All this because Trump’s ex sugar daddy said he was in the secret Epstein files?

Dear Elon Musk:

Now why don't you share what you REALLY did to help Trump win the election?

America deserves to know.

Dear Graduates:

Congrats! A few of you will become the next Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

The rest of you will do worse than your parents, with worse jobs and high costs - so the multi-billionaires can become even richer.

Or do you want to fight to change that?

It’s what we’ve been saying for months:

Trump’s tariffs are ILLEGAL.

BREAKING: COURT BLOCKS TRUMP TARIFFS

Trump LOSES in US Court of International Trade — which ruled that Trump exceeded his authorized power to jack up tariffs

Administration has 10 days to halt tariffs

MAJOR loss for Trump — and victory for lower costs for all Americans

Good time to remember:

The last time Trump was president, he ran up more than 25% of ALL the debt in the entire history of America

$7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS

And he’s about to do it again — so he and his billionaire friends, Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, can get tax cuts

Dear Jake Tapper,

No, the original sin was JANUARY 6 — and not convicting Trump immediately after.

Anything else is fake outrage to gin up ratings and book sales.

If DOGE were a private company it would be facing multiple class action lawsuits for FRAUD and false advertising.

Almost everything they’ve stated has been full of lies — one giant SCAM.

The Republicans tax bill is here.

It does NOT ban taxing tips.
It does NOT ban taxing overtime.
It does NOT ban taxing Social Security.

Trump LIED to you — y’all got PLAYED.

If Osama bin Laden were still alive, he could promise a Trump Tower in Afghanistan — and Trump would lift the terrorism designation for al Qaeda and order all 9/11 memorials be destroyed for being “woke.”

THAT is how craven Trump is.

It’s not America First.

It’s Trump First.
