Trump's Epstein strategy could pit him against loyal supporters

Trump's strategy regarding the Epstein controversy may alienate some of his loyal supporters, as he blames both Democrats and Republicans for the situation. Trump's shifting comments and reluctance to release all Epstein files could be perceived as avoiding transparency and erode his reputation as a straight-talking outsider. Some Republicans are calling for more transparency, but many continue to support Trump. The controversy could impact the Republican Party in upcoming elections if Trump's base becomes disenfranchised.
