Trump Promised MAGA Vengeance. Enter the Epstein Files.
Briefly

Intense disappointment surrounds Trump’s dismissal of the Epstein Files among his supporters, who anticipated revelations leading to punitive justice against political adversaries. Many mainstream observers are now recognizing that conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's alleged connections to a pedophile network are believed by substantial portions of the right. Despite Trump’s numerous claims of retribution during his campaign, key figures like the Bidens, Obamas, and Clintons remain untouched, leading to frustration among his base who expected more concrete actions against perceived enemies.
Observers seeking to understand the intense furor that has swept the right in the wake of Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss the "Epstein Files" are playing catch-up. Mainstream media types who assumed Epstein conspiracy theories were a fringe concern of QAnon are now wondering if millions really believe Epstein was at the center of a global cabal of pedophile elitists.
For many, the Epstein files were just an appetizer for the revelations that would bring the heavy hand of justice down on the many devils of the MAGA imagination. For all of Trump's audacious actions, he has failed to fully undertake the campaign of retribution he promised his supporters.
Supporters are disappointed by Trump's "nothing to see here" dismissal of the Epstein files. The reality is that Trump has not yet carried out the promised retribution against perceived enemies.
His most avid supporters heard many times that justice was imminent for their enemies, leaving them feeling let down as the Bidens, Obamas, and Clintons remain unpunished.
