Trump Melts Down Over 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax' — And The Internet Explodes

President Donald Trump’smeltdown over what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax” had quite an impact on social media.The president took to his Truth Social platform and posted a lengthy diatribe in which he referred to speculation about the convicted sex offender’s clients as “bullshit” that his own “PAST supporters have bought into ... hook, line, and sinker.”He also said Epstein truthers were “weaklings” who are doing the Democrats’ work and insisted, “I don’t want their support anymore!”Trump’s post came a day after he claimed the so-called Epstein files were fabricated by former FBI Director James Comey and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.The financier had associated with various politicians, including both Trump and Bill Clinton, and was facing sex trafficking charges before his 2019 death in a New York jail cell. But Trump’s DOJ and FBI heads recently stated that no “Epstein client list” exists, generating even more speculation from the public.Not surprisingly, many people on social media had strong reactions to Trump’s post.This might be the craziest Trump post I’ve ever read. He calls the Epstein files a scam, a hoax, and bullshit.If any of his supporters believe any part of the Epstein files, he doesn’t want their support anymore. He labels them weaklings doing the Democrats’ work. 🥴 pic.twitter.com/lNp6ZPP2WT— Hoodlum 🇺🇸 (@NotHoodlum) July 16, 2025Needless to say, Trump calling it the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax is beyond insulting to the young victims of Epstein’s horrible crimes.But I suppose Epstein Denial is a choice. Trump’s choice.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) July 16, 2025He's the weakling. He's protecting pedophiles. I'm glad he doesn't want my support because he's not getting it anymore.— Larry (@LarryECornell) July 16, 2025From “We’ll release the files on Day One” to “These files are nonsense” in record time. One of the most shameless 180s in modern presidential history - bragging about transparency, then hoping no one notices/cares about the flip.— Darren Labrum 🇺🇸 (@DLabrum) July 16, 2025This just goes to show. Supporting Trump is a one way street. You are either 100% with him, or you are against him and he will turn on you in a flash.— Hal_For_NY__ (@HalforNY__) July 16, 2025It was always weird that Epstein, who Trump hung out with, died while Trump was in office and it somehow was a conspiracy against Democrats. Now it's finally blowing up in the GOP's face and dividing Trump's coalition, as Trump admits in the below post. https://t.co/JzoOhfYIBr— Alex גדעון בן װעלװל (@JewishWonk) July 16, 2025Trump doubled down on the hoax claim during a media event later on Wednesday with Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.“I know it’s a hoax … I call it the Epstein hoax” — Trump is still crashing out over Epstein pic.twitter.com/W5X81qqjBt— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 16, 2025And people were still skeptical about Trump’s claim.You ever notice how every time Epstein gets mentioned, Trump short-circuits?He doesn’t say “it’s a tragedy”He doesn’t say “we need answers”He doesn’t even say “it’s complicated”He calls it a hoax.A hoax that involved over 100 witnesses, sealed documents, private flights,…— Lucien Wolfe (@LucienWolfe111) July 16, 2025Trump’s clearly not realizing the magnitude of this he campaigned on this and now is telling us to forget about it this will cost him dearly everything from here on out will be clouded by Epstein and his legacy will be that of a president who covered for rich pedophiles— Dr sherri (@Reform_West) July 16, 2025Trump called his MAGA influencers to the White House, gave them carefully prepped ‘Epstein binders,’ and told them to push the narrative, on camera no less! They flooded social media parroting his talking points, bragged about inside info, and smeared anyone who questioned it.…— Steve Reichel (@SteveReichel) July 16, 2025Here we have some MAGA influencers holding up binders of a "democratic hoax" provided by the trump administration. pic.twitter.com/DhMrhr1uMH— Keith Edwards (@keithedwards) July 16, 2025They're are files. Maxwell was convicted because of them. If he's saying it's a hoax, he's all over them... pic.twitter.com/uTVzFTCoEq— °jP (@jim_pennington) July 16, 2025
