President Trump releases this seemingly frustrated lengthy statement via Truth Social:
PRESIDENT TRUMP – What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.
We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more?
They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?
They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do.
We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!
The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter! (source)
Given the nature of how administration’s are generally run, those who consider this statement to be ‘tone deaf’ should look no further than the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who -not coincidentally- appears to be the biggest supporter of AG Pam Bondi.
I’m not sure what to even say at this point.
I can certainly see the issue from the position of President Trump; however, I can also see this issue from the position of a very vocal base within the MAGA support network who are not happy with the way the DOJ and FBI have handled this issue.
Ugh.
All of it.
So why is Ghislaine Maxwell sitting in prison? And is it regular practice of the DOJ to issue memoranda that are undated and unsigned? (Maybe the trolls use disappearing ink.)
in prison she is shut up ….out of prison…she will have a “big mouth” DS probably like her be there..her safety is guarantee there..someone do not want her end up as her father….
Alex Jones is reporting that President Trump is warning that the democrats have doctored the files.
Epstein died in prison….supposedly.
She’s in prison because she never gave the DOJ anything incriminating about Trump. Remember, the DOJ “negotiated” with her for months and months before finally indicting her. The only reason Epstein and her ever got busted was because DOJ saw a possible way to smear Trump.
Hey gang… who you going to support? Pence, Ryan, Paul, our bench is MAGA weak. My guess, Trump never saw the Epstein file and once Dan B saw it he was hunting for an exit ramp. Epstein, JFK, RFK, MLK, whatever, realize we will never, ever see a redacted true copy. With the passing years and AI and deep state, would you really believe what you read. Trust Jesus to sort it out.
You be right, Buckwheat. Again.

Alfalfa and Spanky were the best…
Agree and why any fool thinks there are “ “secret files” that will reveal the truth if only they are released is an idiot. The files that are released are covered in black anyway.
.
CTH comment section is clearly under a coordinated and predetermined Sea-Islander/ANTIFA attack.
.
Look for single-issue purity demands, virtue signaling, and “either/or” binary “black or white” comments such as “President Trump has either compromised or he has become part of the Deep State”.
Also look for the same negative, single-issue posters reappearing on the same comments as others.
Lastly, vastly skewed up-likes are also a dead giveaway, such as this….
.
I was wondering that. It seems like everyone is going mad here. I’m usually quiet, but felt the need to start speaking. Ha, ha!
Also wondering if that is happening to Trump’s Truth Social account also.
Thanks Landslide24.
I went back and tried to read a few more pages, which I found very chaotic and nearly unreadable. But I’m really having trouble distinguishing between real and fake.
Damn, I guess we’ve entered the age where we may not know weather we’re talking to a bot or not.
Maybe this is one way to get us to accept registering in order to use the internet, ha ha.
Since I don’t post often I’ll do an edit to prove I’m a real person!
P.S. I did find 10, 11 pages accumulating in such a short time odd.
Edit
Back in the day when I first came to the Treehouse about ten years ago, there was quite the cast of characters in the comments section. Often it resembled a fakebook fest as they took on various colorful personas and bonded with one another.
I merely looked on.
And then one day -POOF- they were all gone. Just like that. It was rather jarring. Other commenters hinted at their whereabouts, and they had all apparently stormed off in unison, never to return.
I never treat people here as my personal friends. There exists a natural wariness of all things on the internet, and that caution serves me well. You cannot predict anybody’s true intentions on the internet.
Thanks for the story. Those are also wise words. Social interaction online IS quite strange, especially the anonymous kind. It’s ethereal kind of like the digital format itself. It IS real but not quite, or at least as it should be, and can vanish in an instant as if it never existed. People interacting for years while remaining strangers!
Quite a strange thing 🙂
I was just visiting Zerohedge. The verbal excess is 10 times worse than what it is here.
I agree with you that there is definitely a broad psyop in play. It’s grossly obvious.
That said…..I find 99%+ of the finger pointing, by all sides, completely fatuous. One has only to ponder (putting aside PDJT’s self-created problem from campaign promises): what I am reading/seeing is high minded abstractions, or simple puerile reactionary posting, while understanding all along that no one…NO ONE……expended so much rancor and threats since Epstein’s arrest or at any time during the Biden admin.
It’s largely fraudulent by almost all sides. If sacred principles were in play, why no where near the same vitriol since 2019?
Bondi/Wiles, or whomever advised them, found the path to ensure destruction.
I think all sides are frauds. Folks who like to stand on soap boxes but delegate getting actual things done.
It’s not under an Antifa attack , if it was you would read comments like ” Trump is a pedo ” there is nothing like that . Liberals are idiots and easily identified.
When Sundance links to a story that is not popular of course it’s not going to get a lot of likes .
Although the Epstein debacle is horrible, I am far more concerned with the RealID (In the US), the BritCard, etc. This is a Federal ID and the gateway to total surveillance state. Secretary Noem is all on board, so is the Trump admin. This will be the Canadian Trucker’s and social credit score full access.
I don’t want to end up in the same place, no matter who we vote in. I have only heard Thomas Massie and Ron Paul speaking about this.
And Catherine Austin Fitts.
Agreed. Real ID and smart technology go hand in hand. It also ties into the mRNA injections that contain Luciferase blood markers, as well as the planned conversion to Central Bank Digital Currency.
It pains me that others are seemingly unaware, even apathetic towards these extreme insults to humanity. But judging from Biblical prophecy, Big Brother is coming for us no matter what we do.
Apparently we cannot change the greater human condition. But we had better change our personal responses to it. God demands it.
Relative to overall subject here at CTH. Including midterms. Very interesting interview.
Former Trump Lawyer John Eastman Opens Up About Why He’s Not Backing Down in Fight Against Indictments, Disbarment | EpochTV
I’m a longtime reader and have great respect for Sundance and this community. I wasn’t planning to weigh in—but the Epstein disaster demanded I speak.
We supported Trump because he gave us a voice when no one else would. He fought battles others wouldn’t touch—on borders, jobs, trade, foreign policy, etc. He gave us victories, and for that, many of us remain grateful.
But the Epstein situation? This is different. This isn’t a media sideshow. It’s the epicenter of how systemic corruption operates: child trafficking, blackmail, compromised politicians, and intelligence agencies weaponized against the people. Epstein was the crack in the dam that could have finally exposed it all.
Epstein wasn’t just a wealthy pervert, he was predator, he was a monster. He operated as the middleman for powerful people, trafficking victims while building pipelines into the highest levels of government, business, and global intelligence. We’ve seen this movie:
· JFK, assassinated, truth hidden for generations.
· CIA flooding cities with narcotics.
· Vietnam, Iraq—lies from the start.
· Hunter’s laptop buried.
· COVID origins denied.
· Sandusky protected by Penn State.
· The Catholic Church hiding child abuse behind virtue.
Every institution that fell chose silence over truth—until they rotted from within.
We didn’t back Trump to perpetuate that cycle. We backed him to break it.
Now we hear: “Trust Trump—he’s got this. He knows what he’s doing. It’s part of the plan.” But let’s be honest—right now, Trump is telling us the opposite. He’s dismissing Epstein as “yesterday’s news”, calling it a “distraction”, and defending those who buried the files as doing a “fantastic job.” Meanwhile, some of the strongest parts of our movement—Bannon, Tucker, grassroots youth—are raising alarm that this betrayal risks fracturing the movement.
We aren’t blind followers. That’s the Left’s model—march in lockstep, truth or lie. We don’t do that. What makes this movement powerful is that we demand accountability even from those we admire. We don’t make excuses for the swamp—we drain it, no matter who stands in the way.
On this day of all days—the anniversary of the attempt on Trump’s life, where Christ spared him—it’s a reminder that he was saved for something greater. To lead when it’s hard. To confront evil when it’s inconvenient. To stand for truth, not to bury it.
And let’s just apply common sense. Epstein arrested, charged, convicted. Arrested again. Dies in federal custody. Maxwell arrested and convicted. Hundreds of millions paid out to victims. Years of court battles. These are not victimless crimes. You can’t have trafficking without buyers. You can’t have abuse without clients.
As a former detective who worked these cases—this is very basic. The trafficker gets charged, the facilitators get charged, the buyers get charged. That’s justice. Now we’re told there’s no list, no clients, just privacy concerns? That’s an insult to every honest investigator and every survivor.
And now we hear the claim “the Left rewrote the files.” Fine. Show us. Where’s the evidence? Where are the before-and-after files? Where are the whistleblowers? You want trust? Prove it.
Christ didn’t promise us comfort. He promised us truth. He showed us the way, but we must walk it. Sometimes we’re called to swing the axe, even when it’s uncomfortable.
JFK warned: “A nation afraid to let its people judge truth is a nation afraid of its people.” Let’s not be that nation. Let’s not be a movement that makes excuses. Let’s be the movement that stands for truth—even when it’s politically risky.
Release the files. Name the names. Expose the truth. Or step aside for someone who will.
This is just my opinion, spoken from the heart. I don’t intend disrespect toward anyone in this community. I’m just exercising the same freedom we all cherish—to speak freely, ask questions, and fight for a better country.
Thank you Lighthouse. I totally agree.
I agree. In particular, having some familiarity with government classification and document storage/management, I am always skeptical of claims of documents being doctored or destroyed. It’s not that simple in the age of digital storage (which the Obama administration created all kinds of rules and procedures for). We do still see people successfully copying/stealing documents. But that’s a lot different than actually changing them or destroying them.
Superb, Lighthouse. Thank you.
Not to mention the victims’ statements. Are they too yesterday’s news?
A brilliant set of arguments, united by a single purpose – Thank you.
For the record, Per capita the Catholic Church has no more pedophiles in it then any other institution.
Well said and moving. Thank you for expressing what we all are thinking.
I agree 1000 percent. A beautifully written piece from your heart. Thank you.
If I were a friend of the president I would privately ask him:
You had two groups of conflicting advisors around Covid but your trusted those who sang the praises of lockdowns, vaccinations and ventillators. You ignored the dissenting voices of people like Dr Atlas as well as empircal evidence from Sweden and the doctors in Italy that was first hit by Covid that it was not a problem for children but mainly the elderly with comorbidities but you went with the experts who have been proved wrong.
You have seen the corruption in Ukraine before the war but have allowed warmongers in your government to push for military and monetary support and not appreciated those who have worked hardest for a peaceful resolution like Steve Witkoff. When you said it is not my war but Biden’s why did you not simply stop all money and arms and demand the Russians and Ukrainians negotiators be locked in a room till they came up with a settlement?
Why do you appear to trust some of your agencies when they went out of their way to undermine you in the past before a thorough independant investigation of each?
As president you have done many good things for your country and for patriotic American but would it not be appropriate to do a proper review of some of your past decision and actions relating to the issues I have listed and not as a show of weakness but genuine concern admit where you have failed?
And then there is this:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbis-raw-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-doctored-wired
huh – video was non functioning for days before the discovery of his “suicide?”
Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of pimping procuring sex trafficking different names for the sane offense. That offense involves3 people The pimp the prostitute and the customer. But according to the government there were no customers. So there was no crime of being a pimp or prostitute or paying someone for sex. It’s impossible to convict someone of selling stolen goods unless there was a buyer. Maxwell should be freed and compensated for the dreadful injustice done to her.
That said the conservative movement should stop obsessing on Epstein and focus on DEI discrimination against White Americans punishing the employers of illegal aliens get tough on crime ending the billions of taxpayers money given to anti White Marxist universities and non profits . The important things that will help White Americans and our posterity.
Maxwell was convicted of conspiracy to commit trafficking. Not the actual trafficking. There does not need to be actual trafficking in order for there to be a conspiracy to commit it. That said, there is a viral clip of Cindy McCain admitting that “we all knew who Epstein was. What he was doing.” While I agree with you that the base needs to quit obsessing over this, I can also understand why they are.
Why is this one above the same, but different, than the one you posted earlier at 1:37 pm today? Same quote but Flynn post names appear different.
I’ve always appreciated Scott Adams’ insights and his willingness to challenge people’s thinking—this isn’t a knock on him personally. It’s simply a response to his challenge of persuasion on this topic, because on this one, it didn’t land for me. I hope the link to the X post works.
In his recent commentary defending Trump’s “move on” stance regarding Epstein, Scott frames it as a national security decision—suggesting that keeping certain information sealed could prevent geopolitical fallout, even major conflict. But I think it’s fair to ask: how does disclosing the truth about a child sex trafficking network threaten global security? Shouldn’t transparency, especially in cases involving potential abuse of power, be the standard?
In my own professional experience and undergoing thorough vetting for security clearances, I was taught that transparency and accountability are foundations of national security, not threats to it. History has shown that when officials are compromised through blackmail, the risk to national stability increases—not the other way around.
If public figures are implicated in these files, sealing them doesn’t protect the nation—it raises deeper questions about who is being protected and why.
I was especially unsettled by Scott’s comment about “why aren’t the victims speaking out?” because anyone familiar with these kinds of cases understands how fear, coercion, and institutional power dynamics silence victims. Their lack of public testimony isn’t evidence that nothing happened—it’s often a sign of just how powerful the forces against them are.
To take it a step further: imagine during the campaign Trump had said outright that he’d seal Epstein’s files for national security reasons and tell the public to “move on.” Would that have been acceptable to voters across the political spectrum? I doubt it. People expect their leaders to confront wrongdoing, not hide it for political convenience.
And it’s not just hypothetical—Trump, along with key voices like Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi, all said the opposite leading up to the election and even in the time after. They spoke publicly about exposing corruption, delivering justice, and holding powerful people accountable. Now we’re being asked to accept a complete about-face—and to simply trust it’s in our best interest.
This hits home for me. I’ve seen firsthand how accountability is promoted until it becomes inconvenient. Leaders preach integrity—until integrity creates discomfort, and then the message shifts to “you should have stayed quiet.”
Scott’s stated goal in this video was to persuade skeptics like me. With respect, it didn’t work. If anything, it reinforced my concern about selective accountability and compromised institutions.
And one final point—this isn’t personal. I respect Scott Adams as someone who has spoken openly about the pain of losing a child. He’s been a father figure and stepfather, and I’m sure those kids called him Dad. I say this because anyone who’s felt that kind of loss understands how sacred it is to protect children from harm. That’s why this issue resonates so strongly.
I’ve also watched President Trump visit devastated communities, speak about the heartbreak of lost children, and I genuinely believe he cares. Which makes this stance on Epstein even more disappointing.
In my years in law enforcement, there was a reason sex offenders were registered—because these crimes don’t end until those responsible are stopped. They don’t stop with one victim, or one moment in time. Accountability is more than justice—it’s prevention. It’s about ensuring that the same individuals being shielded by secrecy aren’t still harming children right now—whether through sex trafficking, online exploitation, or forced labor.
There are too many unaccounted for. Too many who have no voice. That’s why this matters—because their safety should never be treated as expendable in the name of political convenience or “greater good” narratives.
I encourage everyone to watch the video for yourself. Maybe it will change your perspective—maybe it won’t. But it’s a conversation worth having.
Do we really believe a society is stronger when it hides abuse in the name of national security? Or is true security built on the courage to confront uncomfortable truths?
Apologies—looks like I forgot to include the link to Scott Adams’ post in my original comment. Here it is below for anyone who wants to watch and decide for themselves.

“We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein”
Mr. President YOU are the one who made Epstein an issue to benefit YOUR campaign. It was a campaign promise. Epstein had just been a backstory for years until you leveraged it for your benefit. Epstein represents everything MAGA hates and wants to destroy – corruption, sex trafficking, deep state control, corrupt intelligence community ties to criminals – all of it, so we (MAGA) supported it with fervor.
Now, you criticize and degrade your loyal MAGA – who put you over the top into the Whitehouse – because now Epstein is an ‘inconvenient story’? For some reason he is now a sacred topic we can’t discuss.
You used us and then lied to us about Epstein. Bondi’s abrupt flip-flop is nothing short of a cover-up. A CIA cover-up similar to the Lee Harvey Oswald cover up that we are finally able to read something about after 63 years of waiting and hearing decades of lies from our government about JFK. Epstein was a CIA asset just like Oswald.
You may want to remind yourself of Richard Nixon. That is, “The coverup is worse than the crime”.
If you want this story to go away, someone in your administration has a lot more work to do. Telling us shut up won’t work. We’ll stop talking about it, but a large piece of loyalty will go with it.
Saw a great meme about this, but can’t figure out how to post it
It’s Pam Bondi putting on clown makeup. She makes four statements, with each the clown make up gets heavier.
“We’re going to release the Epstein list.”
“It’s on my desk right now.”
“We just need more time.“
Lastly, fully beclowned, red nose, rainbow hair and all:
“There is no Epstein list.“
Wow this is a MAJOR problem for me. I don’t agree AT ALL with multiple things here, Pam Bondi ISNT GREAT. And my trust in the gov’t institutions is continuing to fall off a cliff.
VERY DISAPPOINTING.
There’s more going on here and some of you are being mislead and FOOLED by the MASTERS of DECEIT, the intelligence community. That seems to include Sundance. TRUST the man that was saved by the hand of GOD from his attempted murder, President Trump. Hang in there and HOLD THE LINE.
I agree that the Epstein debacle bothers me, and if Dan Bongino were to resign or, God forbid, be fired by PDJT, I’m not exactly sure which way I would land on the matter… I’d like to think I wouldn’t have some knee-jerk response, but at that point I would be dealing with a quandary that I’m not entirely comfortable with! I hate this bullshit!
President Trump is usually very good at reading the room and correcting course when needed.
I really hope he does it now.
His Truth Social post is tone deaf and condescending verging on demeaning.
Not a good look for a populist champion of everyday people.
Reality says it’s a progressive administration protecting Big Government as a usual.
The base doesn’t want to accept it.
Many of us are looking at this and saying it’s exactly what happened in his first term.
The base doesn’t want to accept it.
Welcome to the Tea Party 2.0. Eventually when no one delivers on the goods promised you eventually have to admit it was a sales pitch to elect more Republicans.
I think PDJT sees politics through the lens of WWE fight dramas. There’s the good guy and the villain. The good guy is always the better fighter but gets tricked by the villain doing villainous tricks and dishonest sneak attacks and usually the good guy is taken right to the limit of defeat … everyone knows it’s over, as boos fill the arena at the dastardly deeds … before the good guy marshals his considerable strength to surprise the villain with pure power, talent and all-around righteousness and turns the tables and puts the villain and all his evil deeds on the floor with a righteous body-slam.
Politics is real life with real stakes; WWE is entertainment. But, I think a big part of PDJT’s political success is seeing the path to victory in popular politics is much like the script of good and evil in every WWE match that ever was. He’s playing a different game – the D villains, as always, are ignorant rasslin’ fools who only know how to cheat.
That’s also why PDJT seems to be having so much fun fighting these fights … he knows how it always ends!
