Bring On the MAGA Revolt
Briefly

Frustration is growing among MAGA supporters regarding the Epstein issue and other unfulfilled promises by the Trump administration. The bungled management of the Epstein materials began in February when the White House handed conservative influencers binders of information that was largely already public. Influencers who initially supported Trump in 2024 are now voicing regrets about the handling of Epstein. Trump's response to the situation, which includes criticizing his own supporters for buying into what he refers to as a 'hoax,' may mark a significant turning point in his relationship with his base.
