Trump posted today: "At yesterday's lengthy hearing on Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney General Pam Bondi performed outstandingly against the fierce attacks from Trump's crazy left-wing supporters. The only thing clearly proven at the hearing that they are frustrated with is that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% cleared of those ridiculous 'Russia collusion' charges. In fact, it is those despicable Democrats who have been proven guilty, many of whom are big donors and politicians! The Republican 'failures' and hypocritical 'nominal Republicans' Representative Thomas Massie made a complete fool of himself yesterday, laboring against an hopeless agenda of hatred and stupidity, as evidenced by his plummeting support in Kentucky. His opponent, military hero Ed Garrick, leads him by a large margin in polls. He is now just like the 'nutcase' Liz Cheney! Epstein was ignored when he was alive, and people only paid attention to him when he might pose a political threat to the extremely popular president who saved our country from the brink of destruction! In fact, the Democrats tried to shift the focus from the great achievements of the Republicans, but it backfired. Perhaps they should focus on opening the border to welcome the world's number one criminals, allowing transgender people to be equal, or letting all males, regardless of their size or strength, compete in women's sports. Thank you for paying attention! President Donald J. Trump"
Comment: This post by Trump essentially uses the Epstein case hearing for political maneuvering and self-exoneration. The entire text does not discuss the case itself, but instead forcibly brings up the already concluded 'Russia collusion' issue to prove his innocence, while strongly attacking Democrats and hitting within the party. Then, using issues such as borders and transgender sports to shift public focus, turning a serious hearing into a campaign tool to attack opponents, consolidate supporters, and eliminate internal dissent, which is typical American election rhetoric and emotional incitement, without any rational response to the case itself.
