Trump has sharply criticized his own MAGA supporters, calling them “stupid people” and “gullible weaklings” amid growing controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Department of Justice and FBI recently released a report denying the existence of a high-profile client list linked to Epstein, a convicted Sex offender found dead in jail in 2019. However, many Republicans remain skeptical, suspecting a cover-up to protect powerful figures, especially given conflicting statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed to possess Epstein’s client list. Trump has distanced himself from GOP members who accept the DOJ’s version, labeling them weaklings, while dismissing the controversy as a “hoax” fabricated by Democrats

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa credited U.S., Arab, and Turkish mediation—led by President Donald Trump—for halting a full-scale war between Syria and Israel following intense Israeli airstrikes on Damascus. Al-Sharaa issued a chilling warning, declaring Syria “won’t forget” the attacks and accusing Israel of trying to exploit Syria’s instability.

Donald Trump has denied any cover-up in the Epstein files case, blaming Democrats for manufacturing the controversy to tarnish his administration’s “perfect” image. He urged MAGA supporters to stop obsessing over Epstein, warning that they’re falling for left-wing distractions. Trump claimed the Obama-Clinton camp fabricated the scandal and questioned why Democrats hadn’t used any so-called “damaging files” earlier.

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow.
As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily. Will Trump make the move?

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that there is no “Epstein client list.” The admission contradicts Bondi’s claim that such a list existed and was “on her desk,” a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness.
Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondi’s resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm.

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base.
The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue.
Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics.

A Russian 500-kg aerial bomb reduced a bustling shopping center in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast to rubble, killing two and injuring at least 28 on July 16. The heart of Dobropillia city was targeted in a broad daylight strike that left more than 54 shops destroyed, over 300 apartments damaged, and multiple cars obliterated. A massive fire erupted after the impact, prompting an urgent response from emergency crews.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the attack as "horrendous, dumb Russian terror" devoid of military rationale. This violent escalation comes just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 50-day ultimatum, warning of severe tariffs on Russia unless a peace deal is reached. Despite repeated warnings, Russia continues its brutal offensive with impunity. The civilian toll rises, as Ukraine's east remains under siege in the face of international deadlines and unrelenting destruction.

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

FBI Chief Kash Patel has firmly denied widespread speculation about his resignation, calling the rumors “conspiracy theories” and pledging unwavering loyalty to President Donald Trump. In a viral post on X, Patel wrote, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President... and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.” The statement comes amid MAGA-world turmoil over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein Files and swirling reports that top officials, including Dan Bongino and Patel himself, were ready to quit. Patel’s firm rebuttal is a major signal of unity in Trump’s inner circle, especially after George Santos’ viral post speculating on Matt Gaetz replacing Bondi. As Trump’s administration faces growing scrutiny, Patel’s loyalty appears rock-solid — and his denial could help quash internal rebellion rumors and redirect focus back to Trump's re-election priorities.
