On July 12, the political world experienced an unprecedented phenomenon: President Donald Trump was rated on his own social media platform, and It was on an article on Jeffrey Epstein – Someone who, according to Trump, “nobody cares”. “”
Obviously, his disciples on the truth disagree. To date, this post has 43.2K likes, 13.7K of retractions and 48K comments, which almost all express the fury on information – or its absence – that the Trump administration provided on the well -connected billionaire, who died in prison shortly after being arrested for alleged sex trafficking. Last week, after months of promises to disclose more information on the Epstein survey, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI published a memo spouseDeclaring that there was no list of high power “customers” who joined Epstein in his activities, no evidence that Epstein made anyone sing anyone and that Epstein is in fact dead by suicide.
Even if Trump’s social post of truth was trying to deal with the attacks on the prosecutor General Pam Bondi, who was partly responsible for the publication of the Epstein Memo (and, according to the conspiracy theorists, the reason why the list of supposed customers is not made public), his supporters were there. “We want the elite pedos on display!” You promised us, ” A user respondedIn a post with 19.6k likes. “Pam promised this to us. Kash (Patel, FBI director) promised us. Now it is our fault because we want this promise to be filled and calls for each time it lies? What else did she lie to us? “
The everywhere / arrivity report shows how much Epstein files have heard in detail the Maga base relationship with Trump. In recent months, the administration has been a mixed success in maintaining the populist base in its corner, due to things like Trump’s prices and the “great and beautiful bill”, to the point that the possibility of a “Maga Civil War” continues to emerge in the news cycle. Most of the time, these brewing fights are turned off before going further. But the counterposer of Epstein files is unusually ferocious and may not be extinguished as easily, or not at all.
The source of the conflagration: the world of influencers Maga, whose public implicitly trusts them to make the “America First” agenda. Their status and functions vary wildly: media magnates like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and Steve Bannon; Solo talents like Laura Loomer, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes; Political organizers like Charlie Kirk; Content creators like Cattturd; And hundreds of others who have established lucrative careers by attacking the online globalist elite. They are normally pro-Trump, and many of them now have access to the White House. Some of them even boast of having Trump’s mobile phone number. But now They will not stop talking On how they are angry with the fracture of Epstein files, which means that their subscribers will not let go either.
“The real question is not” was Jeffrey Epstein a crazy who abused girls? ” The real question is why he did this, in the name of whom, and where the money comes from, “said Carlson during an opening speech at an USA turning point on July 11. He then insinuated that Epstein led a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government – perhaps Israel, although he warned with “there is nothing anti -Semitic to say that” and that “each person in Washington, DC”, suspected that Epstein was an asset of Mossad. Bannon agreed with him During the same conference, while Loomer, who had three members of the National Security Council drawn, called upon to be dismissedAccusing him of “harming the administration of Trump (and) embarrassing all his staff and his advisers”.
Even influencers who exercise direct government power are beginning to revolt. The representative Marjorie Taylor Greene that the administration reveals the truth about Epstein “and the rich powerful elites in its circle”. And last week, several points of sale in the general public reported that Dan Bongino, a right -wing podcaster who had been appointed to be deputy director of the FBI, had threatened to resign unless Bondi was dismissed. According to AxiosBongino was so upset by the deployment of Epstein evidence – including a video taken from the Epstein mobile phone on the day of his death, which had missed a minute, feeding even more conspiracy theories – that he had shouted before Trump and his senior advisers, then took a day off.
Trump’s 10 years’ 10 -year relationship with Maga’s base was an endless rupture and catch -up cycle: Trump does something that exasperates the base, they revolt, Trump smooth things and the base goes back to love the president. In any case, he is always helped by a network of Maga online influencers who are indeed his attorney – applying the discipline of messages during the interaction with their audience, by amplifying his discussion points, defending him from his enemies and ensuring that the base sticks with him whatever happens.
But the strength of an influencer, in particular of an influencer from Maga, is that they do not have to count on Elite controlled media – cable and broadcasting news, printed journalism, etc. – To build their following. In fact, they could use their internet platforms to hold these powerful responsible elites, presenting themselves as creators of “independent” content, which works extremely well when they can present themselves as foreigners who deliberately excluded the system and therefore need that subscribers can pay monthly costs to support their mission. Unfortunately, they now have unprecedented access to the president, which makes them initiates with power – and their subscribers would like them to be able to use it to go to the bottom of things.
This does not help that there is no “deep state” to hide behind this time, and that is perhaps the reason why Qanon – another powerful conspiracy theory which involved the pedophile elites in Washington – did not relaunch itself. Trump could easily attack career agents at the FBI and the Doj for investigating his first mandate, but during his re -election, he served these agencies and immediately chose the Loyalists of Influencers Maga to manage them. (Before becoming director of the FBI, Patel had a podcast, wrote a children’s book on “King Donald” and opened its own goods store.)
Epstein files have blurred the influencers Maga, which must now decide what is more important for them: access and loyalty to Trump or maintain their brand
It is not surprising that Epstein files have scrambled influencers Maga, who must now decide what is most important for them: access and loyalty to Trump or the maintenance of their brand. If they want to remain faithful to their subscribers and their brand reputation, they should Try to reach the truth of Epstein’s death. But if they tried to do this – or at least, convincing their insatiable audience that they worked there – it would endanger their relationship with the Trump administration, or worse, Trump himself.
The eliminations are already underway, if we believe Alex Jones. July 13, He alleged That Trumpworld’s substitutes had started to reach out to “Talk-show hosts and journalists and influencers”, threatening to cut their access if they continued to do about Epstein. “You will never be invited to a Trump event again. You will never be invited to the White House again. You will never be other things. You will get any conservative sponsorship, no campaign contribution, advertisements running the next cycle if you do this.” Said Jones. “It is, a, is not very moral, this is how the Democrats try to censor and control, then B, it will create a mega-stéré effect and, as I said seven, eight days ago. And that’s exactly what this did.”
However, some of the influencers are running on the wagons again. “Honestly, I have finished talking about Epstein for the moment. I will trust my friends in the administration. I will trust my friends to the government to do what must be done “,” The founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, said on his podcast yesterdayReiterating that he would support everything that the Trump administration has concluded on the issue.
Kirk, a key player in Trump’s political machine, has also moved from Carlson’s Epstein plots, who were carried out at the conference of his group of young people. “I think there was a lot of speeches, let’s say, which were directed to this subject this last weekend. So we don’t need to spend our precious time to this program by reducing it,” said Kirk.
At that time, other influencers began to try to divert the Epstein Flack
At that time, other influencers began to try to divert Epstein Flack: promising that the government was about to start a real investigation soon (Benny Johnson), attacker Carlson as “not trustworthy” and “obsessed with) do everything on the Jews” (Gum), suggesting that perhaps “demons” were at work and not in the government (Mike Cernovich), or making a new discovery on Lee Harvey Oswald and the CIA (Rep. Anna Paulina Luna).
But an increasing faction of influencers goes in the other direction with Carlson, Greene and Jones: Candace Owenswho attacks the former Israeli Prime Minister about Mossad; Matt WalshWho wants “criminals (to) to be dragged before us, crying and begging for mercy”; white nationalist Nick Fuenteswho accused the world of Tpusa of having “appeased” a base that wanted “authentic opposition to organized Jewish influence”; And Tim swimming poolWho highlighted the strange new messaging out of the white house influence pool, “after talking with my friends to the government and also assets in actions of the private island, I decided that no one cares about Epstein anyway. I mean, as who?
