The Epstein Files Are Tanking Trump's Approval Ratings

Trump is full-on delusional, saying that the Epstein files drama has only made him more popular.

“My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain ‘troublemakers,’” Trump wrote. “They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records.”

The president’s remark further comes as a new CBS/YouGov poll found 75 percent of Americans disapprove of how the Trump administration has handled the Epstein files, and 89 percent want the Justice Department to release everything it has on the case.

Trump’s approval rating has fallen nearly 9 points to an abysmal 44 percent since July 10 as the Epstein drama unfolds—just barely above its lowest point during Trump’s first term. His disapproval rating, on the other hand, has climbed to 53 percent.

The DOJ and the FBI released a joint memo earlier this month claiming that Epstein kept no “client list” and affirmed that Epstein died by suicide while in federal custody in 2019. The admissions sent the MAGA sphere into a tailspin, with many accusing Trump of a further cover-up intended to protect himself. To quell the controversy, Trump said last week his administration would move to unseal SOME information regarding the case.

Trump’s rage over the focus on his friendship with Epstein reached a new peak after The Wall Street Journal reported on a graphic letter Trump gave to Epstein for the financier’s 50th birthday in 2003, in which Trump included a hand-drawn image of a naked woman.

“We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” Trump allegedly wrote, according to the Journal. “Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? … Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump has tried unsuccessfully to spin and then kill the story, denying he ever drew the image. Trump dismissed the Epstein files and the newly found letter as a “hoax”; linked it to Democrats, speculating they had tried to tamper with files to make him look bad; and called the story a “bulls--t” tale before attacking MAGA “weaklings” who even still cared about all of this silly child sex trafficing nonsense.
