In Epstein Saga, Signs of Trump Losing His Grip on the MAGA Movement He Birthed
"Donald Trump read his situation with a clear eye and pivoted. He was hemorrhaging support among Republicans over his obstinance to releasing all the files the Department of Justice had swept up in its investigations of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His efforts to deflect or appear to be addressing the situation internally were being met with both outrage and ridicule.
So Trump faced a choice: shift his stance and join the mob he had spent a decade nurturing, or stay defiant and pledge to veto the disclosure bill if it ever got to his desk. This was not a fight he could win by bending the base his way.
So Trump appears to have blinked in response to pushback from his own base. It may be a sign that the Make America Great Again movement is outgrowing the man who built it into a dominant political force. For years, MAGA was whatever Trump said it was. His followers shifted their positions, sometimes repeatedly, on issues like trade, foreign conflicts, and who counted as a political enemy based on what Trump told them was the MAGA position."
