President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social in a wild, unhinged tirade about the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump directly threatened Americans with ominous language, writing that it could be their “last Merry Christmas” while accusing Democrats of somehow glorifying Epstein.
Trump insisted he had cut ties with Epstein “long before it became fashionable” and turned a criminal investigation into a partisan battlefield, painting political opponents as morally corrupt rather than addressing the disturbing facts in the files.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to “drop him like a dog” when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added: ‘When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife “Republican,” Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story – a total Scam – and had nothing to do with “TRUMP.” The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election “Reporting,” even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage.”
“Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump,” he concluded.
Why it matters
This isn’t a typical social media rant — this is the President of the United States weaponizing a federal criminal investigation to terrorize the public and distract from his own questionable past. The Epstein files, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, are meant to shed light on powerful figures involved in child trafficking, yet Trump has twisted the moment into a political stunt.
Instead of engaging with the substance of the files or acknowledging serious questions about his own associations, Trump escalates division, fear, and mistrust, weaponizing his office to undermine accountability and public confidence in government.
Who’s abusing power
The villain is obvious: Trump himself. He is exploiting federal law enforcement and transparency mechanisms for political theater, using his platform to threaten Americans and attack opponents rather than lead responsibly. This aligns perfectly with his broader playbook: manipulate public fear, dodge accountability, and weaponize scandal for partisan gain.
What breaks next
Expect explosive consequences from this tirade: Judicial interventions forcing full compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including unredacted disclosures. Congressional probes digging deeper into the network of powerful figures, potentially implicating Trump’s allies. Media and public outrage escalating as Trump’s rhetoric raises stakes and polarization. Potential leaks that could backfire on Trump by revealing GOP involvement or cover-ups.
