- π¨ A White House staffer reveals Donald Trump is panicking due to the ongoing Epstein case and worsening poll numbers.
- π’ Trump has publicly attacked his own supporters for questioning his involvement in the Epstein case, calling it a "hoax" and stating he no longer wants their support.
- π His approval ratings are underwater, particularly on immigration, a key campaign issue, with approval numbers reaching historically low points.
Immigration Policy Failures
- π« Despite promises of mass deportations, Trump's administration is deporting roughly half the number of people Obama did, failing to meet his own metrics.
- π ICE is reportedly deporting farmworkers and parents, rather than focusing on the "worst of the worst" as promised, leading to criticism from both the left and some conservatives.
- βοΈ The administration is attempting to fast-track deportations and bypass courts, facing legal challenges and creating backlogs.
Epstein Files Controversy
- π Trump claims the Epstein case is a "hoax" fabricated by Democrats, despite the extensive documentation and legal proceedings.
- π€₯ This claim is met with skepticism, as Epstein was arrested and died in custody during Trump's presidency.
- π£οΈ Trump's former allies and even some within MAGA are questioning the lack of transparency and the shifting narrative from Trump's team regarding the Epstein client list.
Media and Political Reactions
- πΊ Fox News host John Roberts echoed Trump's claim that the Epstein files don't exist, a stance that conflicts with previous statements from Trump's administration.
- π£οΈ The situation is creating division within MAGA, with some supporters demanding answers and others attempting to downplay the issue for self-preservation.
- π© The David Pacman Show argues that the left should exploit this division, as Trump's base is becoming increasingly disillusioned with his handling of the Epstein situation and immigration.
Trump's Interview with Lara Trump
- ποΈ A softball interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, still saw Trump rambling and making nonsensical statements, particularly regarding the Texas flood response.

- π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ He praised his children, referring to his son Eric as his "husband" at one point, highlighting the interview's lack of journalistic rigor.
