Trump's recent statement indicates potential chaos within his base, stemming from their attachment to these conspiracy theories.
Trump recently posted on Truth Social, characterizing the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy as a ‘hoax’ and disavowing his past supporters who believe otherwise. He declared he no longer wants their support, implying a rift within his base and a desire to dismiss those clinging to conspiracies that tie him to Epstein.
In the wake of this declaration, supporters reacted swiftly, questioning the validity of the hoax claim, emphasizing the serious implications of Epstein's imprisonment and the charges against Ghislaine Maxwell.
