Trump BLASTS His MAGA Base as ‘Stupid’, ‘Gullible Weaklings’ | Epstein Files Controversy Explodes

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 #TrumpEpsteinFiles #MAGAControversy #EpsteinFiles #TrumpVsMAGA #EpsteinScandal #EpsteinCoverUp #TrumpSpeaksOut #MAGAUnderFire #TrumpEpsteinLink #EpsteinDocuments #EpsteinCase2025 #TrumpBacklash #TrumpStatement #TrumpNews #EpsteinNetwork ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.124~

Matt Gaetz Tipped To Replace Pam Bondi As Attorney General? Epstein Scandal ROCKS MAGA World

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.

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts

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.

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.

Russia’s BIGGEST Attack On Ukraine Yet? Drops 500-KG Aerial Bomb On Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast

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. #RussiaUkraineWar #DonetskAttack #DobropilliaBombing #TrumpRussiaUltimatum #UkraineUnderFire #Zelensky #500kgBomb #RussianWarCrimes #ShoppingCenterStrike #UkraineNews #EasternUkraine #WarInUkraine #PutinStrike #UkraineCivilianCasualties #TerrorBombing #DobropilliaStrike #BreakingNewsUkraine #TrumpRussiaTariffs #StopRussianAggression #UkraineCrisis ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Russia MOCKS Trump’s ‘Ultimatum’ | Lavrov Laughs at 100% Tariffs & U.S.-EU Weapons Push for Ukraine

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. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #SergeiLavrov #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #USTariffs #OneindiaNews #USRussiaRelations Also Read Can You Hit Moscow?

Kash Patel CRUSHES Resignation Buzz, Swears Loyalty To Trump, SLAMS Epstein Conspiracy Lies

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. #KashPatel #Trump2024 #FBI #PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #MattGaetz #GeorgeSantos #MAGA #ResignationRumors #FakeNews #DOJ #Bongino #BreakingNews #USPolitics #TrumpAdmin #EpsteinConspiracy #WhiteHouseDrama #TrumpLoyalists #DeepState #MAGAUnity
