Despite what Donald Trump is labeling the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," the politician claimed he's only gaining support from the right."My poll numbers within the Republican party and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the radical left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers,'" Trump penned. "They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls and are all Republican party records. The general election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like strong borders and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!"

Although many would think Donald Trump was exaggerating with his claim, CNN's Harry Enten showed the data to prove conservatives are still backing him despite the Jeffrey Epstein drama."This one surprised me a bit because of all these complaints online going after Trump and the Epstein files, you might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans. If anything, they're going up!" the reporter explained during a recent broadcast. "Republicans who approve of Trump — look at our CNN poll. The prior one, 86 percent. The one out this week, 88 percent with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac? The prior poll, 87 percent approval for Republicans. This week out, 90 percent with Republicans. If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex, or close in terms of his popularity with Republican voters."

Donald Trump has been extremely defensive over people calling him out for the lack of transparency over the Jeffrey Epstein case."My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls***,' hook, line and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will, even after being conned by the lunatic left for 8 long years," the businessman wrote in a Truth Social update. "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats' work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!"
During a meeting with the press in the Oval Office, Trump added, "Some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net and so they try to do the Democrats' work."
