MAGA’s new target: Donald Trump himself

Bangkok Post

|

July 23, 2025

People often become what they scorn. Donald Trump has become the deep state.

- Maureen Dowd

He is the keeper of the secrets. He is the one stealing away people's liberties. He is the one weaponising government and protecting the ruling class.

With Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Government Efficiency, Mr Trump deputised wolf packs to root around in Americans’ personal information. He obscures rather than reveals, pushing aside reporters who ask penetrating questions in favour of Pravda-like partisans who take his side.

Mr Trump's supporters thought he would shed light on shady elites protecting their own money and power. Now MAGA is reckoning with the fact that Mr Trump is the shady elite, shielding information about Jeffrey Epstein.

“So the guy who spent his lifetime saying the deep state hides things from you and represses you is now saying, ‘We've got nothing to hide, trust me,” said Trump biographer ‘Tim O’Brien. “And the people who follow him don’t. They think he’s just as bad as the people he criticised before he became president.”

It’s mythic, being devoured by the forces you unleashed. Mr Trump has trafficked in conspiracy theories since the despicable “birther” one about Barack Obama. Now that whirlpool of dark innuendo has sucked him down. He can no longer control the Epstein conspiracy madness inflamed by his top officials.
