‘No good answers’: Trump facing real ‘danger’Donald Trump is now facing a real “danger” from the MAGA base, political watchers have said, as he struggles to close a Pandora’s box he helped open.
Donald Trump is mired in his biggest ever backlash from the MAGA faithful after he claimed there was nothing left of note in files relating to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
A tumultuous week hasn’t been helped by the US president calling his supporters who favour releasing all documents related to Epstein as “weaklings” who have fallen for a “Democrat hoax” ... Mr Trump said it was time to move on and urged people to “not waste time and energy on … somebody that no one cares about”.
The problem is many in the MAGA-sphere do care about Epstein. They care a lot.

YouGov research, released last week, showed 75 per cent of Republicans want the Government to release all the documents it has about the Epstein case and 50 per cent of the same voters think a cover up is occurring.

...a decade now I've been hearing about the demise of trump but he's still there...
...he'll get though this like he's gotten through everything else, by lying, bullying and intimidation...
...the hardcore magats love him, even some non-magats love him, he can do no wrong...he's the strongest strongman out there and he's all theirs...
...until a counter strongman rises from our pool of wimpy politicians, trump's demise is just wishful thinking...
...he'll die of old age first...
