When a leader becomes so weak & unstable, lies need to be amplified even more. Without them his cult of personality weakens. This might be insane but it needs to be understood historically. Fascism is more than ever the main ideological precedent for Trump's lies.

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

2. Some of the people who voted for him get very angry when he calls it a hoax.
Also, it’s worth noting this would have wrapped up long ago had his administration not repeatedly promised things and then walked them back.

1. President Trump is once again referring to the Epstein files matter as a Democratic hoax.
The reason the Epstein files matter is such a major issue is because his top allies made it so during the campaign and promised that, if he won, the files would be released.
