Transcript: Trump Press Sec Knifes FBI in Back as Epstein Mess Worsens

Morris: Yeah, and I think this point must come very soon. So we know that Trump is really unpopular with all voters, but he is also unpopular with Republicans, the types of people who vote in the primary elections. It’s still about nine months old, but hey, you are still campaigning when you are in Congress, right? So in a The Reuters / Ipsos survey last week, 35% of Republicans say they approve how Trump manages this. Trump’s approval rating with Republicans is generally 90%, so the fact that it is 35 years old is quite revealing. If these people seek to report from their constituency on what to do next, they will get a lot of really negative comments on the president’s strategy here. And I imagine either that they change course and they respond to the public, or they respond to their party leader. And what determines how they react to this is: who is the strongest in the meantime? Do they pay more attention to Twitter and to the people who cry out on them, or do they receive a bunch of phone calls from Trump and the White House?

Sargent: Well, you wrote this piece trying to dig why it is so problematic for Trump. I want to read a little, “[B]There is the side of Epstein and against transparency, Trump considerably hurts his reputation as a stranger fighting “the deep state” for God and the country. A large part of the conspirator of the Republican Party argued that Epstein was in bed with major democratic donors and other political elites – refusing to associate against them, Trump has implicitly associated with them. »» He is the traitor of his class, in a way, to appropriate the FDR idea. It is the guy who will enter and avenge people by showing them how the elites Gié the system in their favor, how corrupted their globalist schemes are and so on. So I think you really get something essential there. It cuts against his political mysticism at a very deep level.

Morris: And it’s not just his mysticism, as you call it. It is all its “added value” in the republican party. In the 2016 primary, which is why Trump Bat Cruz and Rubio. In 2024, which is why Trump surpasses young men who would otherwise be liberals. This is because they have the impression that the system is corrupt; Especially at a time of inflation, they have the impression that it does not give them what they need. When there are many of these stories that the elites are in bed with a pedophile ring and covering it and Trump says, I can fix it. Me alone can discover the story for you– When he doesn’t do that, when he seems to continue to cover things, then he loses a lot of credibility. And it’s not … THere are many stories like this on the term of Trump, but it seems that it is unique; There is a lot of stay. In most Trump’s term, there are many news events and you spend every two or three days. This is the main story for two weeks at this stage. And because he really got it in the 2024 campaign and that a large part of the party was the cause of transparency, For him, turning completely in the opposite direction, I think, hurts him in a unique way that we have not seen before.
