Pete Buttigieg Slams Trump’s Desperate Tactics Amid Epstein Scandal

Trump’s Attempts to Distract from Epstein’s Scandals

Seems like Donald Trump’s latest attempts to divert attention from the ongoing discussions about convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his connections just aren’t cutting it.

Supporters Turning Against Trump

Frustration is building among Trump’s base over his administration’s conflicting statements regarding the existence of an Epstein “client list.” Fans are fed up, and the tension is palpable.

Reacting in Anger

Loyal supporters are apparently taking extreme measures, even burning their MAGA hats to make their voices heard.

Backing Tulsi Gabbard’s Claims

In the face of this chaos, Trump chose to spotlight Tulsi Gabbard, the National Intelligence Director who claims she can prove an Obama Administration conspiracy aimed at undermining Trump’s win in 2016. This assertion has been flatly denied by the Obama team, and former CIA head John Brennan has made it clear: there are no solid grounds for Gabbard’s allegations.

Sharing Fake Videos

Of course, that hasn’t stopped Trump from posting a completely fake, AI-generated video showing Obama getting arrested on his Truth Social account.

Buttigieg’s Take on the Situation

During his recent guest appearance on The Breakfast Club, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn’t hold back about the mess Trump has created. He pointed out that Trump initially declares he’s going to release keys files, only to suddenly backtrack on that promise.

Critique of Trump’s Tactics

Buttigieg pointed out the frustration from Trump’s own supporters, saying, “People are like, wait, hold up, you said you’d drop this info but now you’re not.’ And how does Trump respond? By throwing out claims like, ‘We’re going to arrest Obama.'”

Ending on a Strong Note

As the hosts shared a laugh, Buttigieg wrapped up with some keen observations: “That’s completely disconnected from the issue at hand! It’s really just a distraction play.”
