"He tried bullying Representative Lauren Boebert, a traditional MAGA stalwart, by meeting with her in the Situation Room to sweatbox her into reversing her vote in favor of the files' release. He launched new nicknames and insults, usually a Trump slam dunk. He dubbed Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had also broken ranks in supporting the release of the files, "Marjorie Traitor Greene.""
"He went after a comedian-a pastime that's played out more favorably for him than his campaign to get his base to forget about Jeffrey Epstein. On Saturday afternoon, he took to Truth Social with this lament: "NBC's Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!""
Donald Trump suffered a significant setback related to the Jeffrey Epstein files and deployed pressure tactics and insults in response. He met with Representative Lauren Boebert in the Situation Room to try to reverse her vote on releasing the files and invented nicknames for dissenting Republicans, including calling Marjorie Taylor Greene "Marjorie Traitor Greene." He also answered a question about the files by saying, "Quiet, piggy," and repeatedly lashed out at women who would not be intimidated. He shifted focus by attacking comedian Seth Meyers on Truth Social, calling him talentless and accusing him of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
