Cults don't collapse all at once. They isolate first: cut off dissent, reject outsiders, and invent enemies. It becomes us vs everyone. This is the silo stage. A late-phase symptom. After this comes paranoia… then fracture.

Only Trump could talk about not visiting a sex predator’s island as if he missed out on bottle service at a Vegas resort.
Trump on Epstein: “I never went to the island… I never had the privilege of going to his island.” Follow: @AFpost
It’s been 10 years since we met Trump, the misunderstood Machiavelli, master of 4D chess. A decade of blunders, scandals, and self-inflicted crises later, and the faithful still see strategy everywhere.

I have questions after watching this video: Why would releasing the Epstein files cause political pain to congressmen, does avoiding political pain take priority over justice, and how exactly is the Speaker being prosecuted by a vote on the Epstein files?
Like Watergate, Trump's Epstein cover-up may be viewed as worse than the crime itself (if Trump committed any crimes).
He's opened himself up to this, tbh
A protester interrupts Ron DeSantis at an event today: “Is that your fucking legacy? You bow down to a fucking pedophile! You’re a fucking pedophile!”
When you're too corrupt even for a pedo ring leader.
Jeffrey Epstein told his brother Mark that he walked away from Donald Trump in 2004 after deciding Trump was “a crook,” according to Mark’s account. This contradicts Trump’s claim that he was the one who ended their relationship and suggests that Epstein was the one who split…
Move back to Somalia then. I’m so sick of this. Why live in America let alone run for office if you don’t want to be American
Going after pedophiles is a "witch hunt"? Fuck him and fuck you if you defend him.
Trump on Epstein: I don’t really follow that too much. It’s sort of a witch hunt. Just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt you should be talking about is that they caught President Obama absolutely cold.
It has become blatantly obvious that the Trump Administration is running cover for high-profile pedophiles. Even if he himself never took part in the heinous crimes against children, he definitely knew it was happening and is running cover for his powerful friends, associates, or…
Not since 9/11 have Americans been this united Across the spectrum, a line in the sand has been drawn that no amount of gaslighting can erase: The powerful can’t be allowed to traffic children and walk free If power won’t yield the truth, the people will drag it into the light
MAGA influencers can put on a brave face all they want. But they know the truth. Their grift is unraveling. And they’re all thinking privately what they won’t say aloud: "We’re f*cked."
I think it would be a really good idea for primary candidates to get on the right side of history with this Epstein controversy.
Unfollow anyone who echoes the lies of the orange regime - that The Epstein Files are a Democrat Hoax. They are either too stupid to be taken seriously or they are something far more sinister. THIS is the greatest cover-up and scandal in American History. Lines must be drawn.
'40% of Republicans support Trump’s handling of the Epstein files.' If you’ve ever wondered how much of the GOP is now just reflexive, MAGA-bred obedience, there’s your number. 40%
According to a Quinnipiac poll, 63% of Americans oppose Trump’s handling of the Epstein files while only 17% approve. 40% of Republicans support Trump’s handling of the files while 36% of Republicans disapprove. Follow: @AFpost
Casting off your own supporters who don't toe every line is the purest distillation of Trumpism: loyalty unquestioned, truth optional, and betrayal inevitable.


For a movement obsessed with optics, branding yourself with what many consider the ultimate sin, pedophilia, isn’t just morally reprehensible: it’s the apex of communications incompetence. There is no pivot from that.
