Democrats who barely whispered Jeffrey Epstein’s name for the last four years — when they actually had the power to release the files — are suddenly in a full-blown PR blitz, screeching the exact same scripted demand: “Release the files!” Their obsession with President Donald Trump blinds them to the irony that they’re actually helping him.
There’s been some disunity among Trump supporters who want transparency on Epstein. Last week, many were disappointed to hear there’s supposedly no client list and, yes, Epstein did kill himself. Skepticism is not only understandable — it’s warranted. The Epstein saga has always stunk to high heaven, and being promised the full files only to get a wet paper towel of nothing has understandably fueled outrage. But the base’s anger isn’t really directed at Trump — it’s directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi.
So, what fixes the tension (to the extent it even exists)? The absolute clown show of Democrats trying to latch onto the moment.
Why would MAGA side with the Squad on the Epstein files?
From Pramila Jayapal to Eric Swalwell, the same Democrats who never cared one iota about Epstein are now feigning concern over transparency. It’s pure political theater. They’re exploiting the MAGA base’s frustration in hopes of creating a rift between Trump and his loyalists. But the effort is so painfully obvious, it backfires.
Trump supporters aren’t going to jump ship just because the Squad suddenly found morals on child sex trafficking. If anything, they’re sprinting back to Trump. Because if the Radical Left is for something, MAGA knows it’s probably garbage.
Trump earned his support through action and results — not press releases. The base isn’t going to abandon him for a few fumbled file releases, especially not when the Democrats pushing this narrative are the most unlikeable, dishonest voices in American politics.
This is all so laughably transparent. https://t.co/rhrf1IhjHo

Let’s also not kid ourselves — no one outside political X cares about Epstein. Find me a poll that puts this scandal above the economy, crime, or immigration. You won’t. The average American is more worried about their rent, their kid’s school, or their safety. If Democrats want to trade their already weak attacks on Trump’s border policies or economic wins for a Hail Mary on Epstein, let them. It’s a losing strategy that gives Trump room to focus on what matters.
A self-inflicted wound that will heal

Yes, this was a misstep. The White House overpromised and underdelivered, and the influencer stunt with the Epstein files was a PR belly-flop. It likely created real friction between Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
But there are legitimate reasons some of these documents might be withheld — protecting victims, avoiding false smears of innocent people, and preserving active investigations. Those reasons don’t go away just because the outrage machine is fired up.
The performative outrage from Democrats who think the American people have short memories is a joke. They didn’t care about Epstein when it mattered, and now they’re using the scandal as a cheap stunt to attack Trump. It’s not going to work. Trump’s base isn’t defecting to the Squad, and the average voter doesn’t list “Jeffrey Epstein files” as a top concern. The real issues still favor Trump. If anything, Democrats just reminded us why we don’t trust them — and why Trump’s instincts, even when flawed in execution, still beat the radical Left’s calculated cynicism every single time.
