Trump is calling his supporters (Republicans from all walks) "stupid"
and "weaklings", and saying "I don't want your support anymore!".
Stupid. Weakling. Trump.

Trump doesn't *need* their support anymore.
He has every branch of government in his
back pocket, he rules with impunity, public
opinion is of no consequence to him now.

Apparently Dear Leader can't stop talking about Epstein:
|
| Overnight, the US president said he had ordered the US
| Department of Justice (DoJ) to release more court documents
| relating to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein,
| following pressure from some of his most loyal supporters.
|
| In response, Attorney General Pam Bondi said: "We are ready
| to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury
| transcripts."
|
| It's unclear if they are referring to the first set of
| cases concerning Epstein from the early 2000s, or federal
| charges brought in 2019 - we've asked the White House.
|
| It also doesn't mean we will necessarily see anything
| released today.

Why didn't you note that Trump is now suing the Wall Street Journal
over this manufactured "story"?
| A firestorm of criticism has since consumed all three
| branches of government, given the Democrats a powerful new
| line of attack and left Trump struggling to respond to the
| most intractable political crisis he's faced since his
| return to the White House.
|
| "They completely miscalculated the fever pitch to which
| they built this up," said Stephen A. Saltzburg, a former
| Justice Department official in the Reagan and George H.W.
| Bush administrations who teaches at George Washington
| University's law school. "Now, they seem to be in full-bore
| panic mode, trying to change the subject and flailing in an
| effort to make sense of what makes no sense."
