Trump has shifted his political approach in his second term, distancing himself from core supporters. He has participated in initiatives contrary to past claims, such as an Israeli bombing campaign and supplying Ukraine. Recently, a significant backlash arose from his administration's decision not to release Epstein files, leading to tensions with his supporters. Trump has publicly criticized those upset with him, labeling their concerns regarding the Epstein files as a "new SCAM". The future political implications of this rift remain uncertain, shedding light on his appeal and strategy.
Each of these has brought grumbling from subsets of his coalition, but none has been so sustained as the backlash over the administration's reversal on releasing the so-called Epstein files.
Trump's discontent with his supporters is highlighted in his recent statement where he referred to their belief in the Epstein file issue as a "new SCAM".
Trump isn't doing much more to reach out to the center in his second term, but he is more willing to snub his core backers.
What exactly these files might contain is not clear. One theory is that they include a list of famous men for whom Epstein procured underage girls.
