Trump struggles to deflect Epstein uproar
Hindustan Times Noida
|July 27, 2025
{ MAGA OUTRAGE } 'WE'VE BEEN IN THIS VERY SAME SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE'
Donald Trump has always had a knack for dodging controversy with distraction, denial, or by flipping the narrative.
But this time, those tricks seem to be falling flat. His base, usually loyal to a fault, is growing restless over Trump's past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The issue has resurfaced with force, and this time it's not Democrats driving the scrutiny. It's his own supporters, demanding answers the former president is dodging.
Despite Trump's usual playbook, scolding reporters, downplaying the issue, and launching into unrelated political attacks, the Epstein story isn’t going away. And unlike past scandals like Russia or impeachment, the pressure is coming from within the MAGA universe itself.
This story is from the July 27, 2025 edition of Hindustan Times Noida.
