Trump voters ought to hate Trump too – but they appear to conveniently forget that

Some might, but most have likely moved past it. Once they saw Democrats leading the charge to release the Epstein files they probably started to think it’s “just another witch hunt” like Donald tried to claim.

Their love of Trump is higher than their hatred for Epstein and pedophiles.

Film of Trump drooling over underage girls with Epstein or Trump bragging how he can barge into the dressing rooms of underage girls while they are undressed doesn’t seem to bother them.

At this point I’m really skeptical anything can change a Trump voter’s mind. Not voting for Trump was never a possibility, whatever the old crook said or did. They’d vote for him again if they could.
From the article:
” Even the young men supporting President Donald Trump are tapping their feet impatiently on the release of the notorious Epstein files, a prominent pollster revealed on the Daily Beast Podcast.
John Della Volpe, founder of the youth-oriented opinion research firm SocialSphere, said the Epstein files came up as one of the promises that Trump supporters are holding the president to during a focus group conducted over the weekend.
“It’s basically two promises that this young man remembered, right? One is, you’re gonna give me a fighting chance to live my best life. And, are you gonna release the Epstein files? Literally, that is what he said—those two things,” he told host Joanna Coles.
“So that was one of the very first times, honestly, of the probably 50 focus groups I’ve done, that his name came up organically, but it did come up, and it came up within this, like, anti-establishment, ‘Maybe he’s not what exactly he promised to be.’”
Trump, who was close pals with the disgraced financier for years, signaled an intent to release the controversial Epstein files on the campaign trail last year: “I’d certainly take a look at it,” he said. “I’d be inclined to do the Epstein. I’d have no problem with it.”
But the Trump administration sorely let down its own base in July when the FBI said there was no “client list,” contrary to an earlier statement by Attorney General Pam Bondi that it was “sitting on my desk.”
Ten months into Trump’s second term, his Epstein promise appears to be backfiring.
Volpe said SocialSphere conducts a monthly poll asking participants whether Trump is having a positive or negative impact on their lives.
Days before the inauguration in January, 55 percent of younger men said Trump had a positive impact on them, citing a positive outlook for the economy and “feeling like they could be the providers that they want to be.” By the end of September, however, that number had plummeted to 31 percent.
But it’s not just economic issues driving young men away from the president. Volpe said Trump’s young male supporters were also paying attention to controversies surrounding the deployment of the National Guard to blue cities, Venezuelan boat strikes, and the East Wing teardown.
“They feel like they’re basically a distraction from what is the reason that so many younger men voted for him in the first place, which is, ultimately, he promised to help them be a better provider. And many are beginning to feel betrayed,” Volpe said.
“He needs to begin to deliver on the core promise,” he added. “When you have only 31 percent of younger men saying he’s making their life better, I can’t think of a worse number for him right now.”
Volpe raised the possibility of “significant backlash” in the 2026 polls as younger voters react to developments under Trump 2.0.
“Their kind of political identity is being developed through the first year of the Trump 2.0 term. Mostly all of it is negative,” he said. “That is going to be the vibe that they’re taking in ’26 and in ’28 in terms of, ‘He’s not delivering what he said. There’s more chaos, there’s less safety, there’s more economic concern. What is he doing about that?’”
In response to Volpe’s comments, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “the Daily Beast knew about Epstein and his victims for years and did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, and is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents.” “

But they’re also in denial about Trump’s deep connections to Epstein and his desperate efforts to sweep it all under the rug. His administration, alongside the DOJ and Republicans in Congress, have all been running interference for Trump; delaying votes, suppressing information and diverting attention away from his close ties to Epstein.
They’re even manufacturing a separate scandal that accuses Obama of “treason,” while Trump’s deputy AG (and former personal lawyer) orchestrated a cover up with Ghislaine Maxwell by offering her limited immunity/clemency to facilitate her cooperation with the government.
Trump even sued the WSJ for releasing the infamous birthday letter:
> The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump supporters refuse to acknowledge his involvement and are instead trying to rationalize why the most obvious conclusion is the least likely.
Fox News even deliberately edited Trump’s response during an interview when he was asked if he would release the “Epstein client list.”
Trump’s initial response:
> “Yeah, I think we should release it. People deserve to know.”
Fox left out his follow up:
> “But you have to understand, there’s a lot of lies in that list. A lot of names that shouldn’t be there. You don’t want to ruin innocent lives.”
Outside of this Epstein controversy, Trump has been accused of sexual abuse, harassment or rape by dozens of women dating back to the 70s—particularly women on the “younger side.”
A book published in 2019 titled “All the President’s Women” speaks of at least 43 allegations—one of them from Trump’s first wife.
These women have all described having inappropriate, humiliating and traumatic encounters with Trump.
Former Miss ***TEEN*** USA contestants claimed that Trump would unexpectedly walk into their dressing rooms. One of the girls says that she remembers Trump saying, “*Don’t worry ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”* The youngest was 15 at the time.
> In an April 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show… Trump said he would go backstage before beauty pageant shows, the only man in the room while the women were “standing there with no clothes.” As the owner, “I sort of get away with things like that,” he added.
> Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant, told CNN that when she competed in 2006, Trump personally inspected each contestant, looking at them from head to toe like “sexual objects,” which made her feel “the dirtiest I felt in my entire life.”
Other incidents include:
> Jessica Leeds, [who] told The New York Times in 2016 that, in the late 1970s, Trump, who was a stranger to her, reached his hand up her skirt and grabbed her breasts on a flight to New York. She said he “was like an octopus” and his “hands were everywhere.”
One woman claimed that Trump tried to rape her in his daughters bedroom at Mar-A-Lago.
Reporter Natasha Stoynoff describes an incident when she was alone with Trump where he *”closed the door and pushed her against the wall before ‘forcing his tongue down [her] throat.'”* She was interviewing Trump for a story about his marriage to Melania.
There’s always the Stormy Daniels case and the “Hollywood access tape,” scandals that should have ended his political career. But in a desperate move after the hot mic incident, Trump staged a surprise press conference where he paraded four women around in front of reporters, each of them alleging that Bill Clinton abused them. Trump had the audacity to “praise their courage.”
That same year, multiple women came forward speaking out against Trump. In response, Trump called them “horrible, horrible liars.”
Judge Kaplan clarified that the jury’s findings in the E Jean Carroll case align with the common understanding of rape. In other words, Trump was found by a jury to have raped E Jean Carroll.
Then there’s the case involving the plaintiff “Katie Johnson”, filed multiple times in 2016—all suspiciously dismissed.
The accuser was set to appear at a news conference later that year, but her attorney said she had been receiving death threats and was too afraid to attend.
The case alleges that both Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein made the plaintiff into a “sex slave” at the age of 13.
Trump and Epstein had a very close, friendly and social relationship starting in the late 80s. They were both prominent figures in Palm Beach, Florida, where they were often seen together at social events and parties. Photos and videos show the two together at Mar-a-Lago.
In an interview in 2002, Trump said of Epstein:
> “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
In 2005, police searched Epstein’s Mansion and found message books containing the names and numbers of high profile people, including Trump.
Virginia Guiffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, claimed that she was recruited into Epstein’s sex trafficking ring while working at Mar-a-Lago. Giuffre sadly “died by suicide” back in April.
Maria Farmer, another reported Epstein victim, went to police twice back in the 90s to complain about Epstein’s sexual abuse of girls and young women. She brought up Trump’s name because of his close ties to Epstein and after an encounter with Trump at Epstein’s New York office:
> She told the authorities that late one night, Mr. Epstein unexpectedly called her to his offices in a luxury building in Manhattan, and she arrived in running shorts.
> Mr. Trump then arrived, wearing a business suit, and started to hover over her.
> Ms. Farmer said she recalled feeling scared as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”
It wasn’t until Epstein’s arrest and death in 2019 that Trump publicly stated that he wasn’t “a fan” of Epstein.
After Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest in 2020, Trump appeared to show sympathy for her at a press briefing:
> “I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is.”
According to flight logs released during Maxwell’s trial, Trump has flown on the “Lolita Express” at least seven times.
Then there’s Michael Wolff, a journalist who has interviewed Trump and had insider access to him and the White House.
Wolff claims that Trump once considered a pardon for Maxwell because he was worried that she might “spill secrets.”
Wolff obtained audio recordings of Epstein claiming that Trump and Melania’s first sexual encounter took place aboard his private jet.
On his podcast, Fire and Fury, Wolff stated that Epstein once showed him several photographs of Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, sitting around the pool with topless young girls, some reportedly sitting in Trump’s lap.
Wolff described Trump and Epstein as “joined at the hip” for nearly 15 years. Both men have confirmed their close friendship together, they even shared the same women.
This is a cover up, plain and simple.
