Please stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. You're making Donald Trump mad. Opinion

There’s one thing all Americans who have been reading or hearing news about Jeffrey Epstein’s files or Jeffery Epstein’s client list need to do: They need to believe the Trump administration’s sudden assertion that the Jeffery Epstein case is a nothing burger and, above all, stop repeating the name Jeffrey Epstein.

Remember, President Donald Trump has had it with people mentioning Jeffrey Epstein, telling the MAGA faithful in a Truth Social post on July 12 to “not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”

Undoubtedly, the president wants us to tone down the references to Jeffrey Epstein and focus on other matters. And that’s exactly what I plan to do, because Jeffrey Epstein references at this point seem like intentional jabs at the president’s hope to change the subject away from Jeffrey Epstein.

You know Maxwell is not going to harm her old pal Trump. She would party with Trump for decades. And she got some nice young girls for Trump with Epstein, why would she turn on her friend in the WH.

Maxwell saying she has the list is saving Trump, the Trump team lied saying there was no list, Maxwell saved them.

A good percentage of trump supporters are QAnon idiots and Epstein is a big deal to these nutcases.



A lot of you may be mystified as to why DOJ’s withholding of the Epstein files so upsets Trump’s base.

It’s very simple.

👉 Roughly a third of MAGA Republicans qualify as QAnon believers.

👉 QAnon teaches that government, media, and financial elites are Satanists who sex-traffic children.
