Neo-Nazi Fuentes Calls MAGA 'Biggest Scam' After Epstein Case

President Donald Trump is facing significant backlash from within his MAGA base and far-right media figures over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, which has raised doubts about his standing among his supporters. Neo-Nazi podcaster Nick Fuentes, once a staunch Trump ally, publicly denounced the president and the MAGA movement as a "scam," criticizing Trump's refusal to release Epstein files and accusing him of covering up the truth. Fuentes harshly insulted Trump on his podcast and declared that MAGA supporters were deceived, calling Trump a vehicle for their cause rather than the other way around. Trump, in turn, has lashed out on social media against supporters fixated on the Epstein matter, calling the story a "hoax" and labeling those who persist in believing it as "weaklings," effectively severing ties with some of his base. The controversy highlights a rift between Trump and parts of his right-wing base, particularly followers invested in QAnon-related conspiracy theories tied to Epstein, whose debunking has undermined the narrative that once galvanized much of MAGA. This internal conflict reveals deep fractures and disillusionment within the movement, as some key figures are now openly rejecting Trump’s leadership over the Epstein scandal.
