In response to Donald Trump\u2019s Truth Social rampage over the weekend, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump is desperately trying to distract Americans from his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, posting dozens of captionless videos, including a woman tossing a snake and threats to arrest his political opponents. These bizarre posts solidify Trump\u2019s chaotic and uncertain first six months in office. Even though Doodle Don wants us to forget about his alarming note to an infamous sex trafficker, the American people are demanding the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump is trying to distract the American people from his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, posting dozens of alarming content, including a video of a woman swinging a snake and direct threats to arrest his political opponents.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Politico Playbook<\/a>: \u201cTRUMP\u2019S CONUNDRUM: Last night, the president posted on Truth Social more than two dozen times.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe posted phony mugshots of former President Barack Obama and an AI-generated video of the former president being arrested in the Oval Office before donning an orange jumpsuit in prison. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe posted a three-minute, captionless video with clips of a bikini-clad woman picking up and tossing a snake; a man somersaulting around a dowel down a stairway; a red Lamborghini careening beneath a truck, Clark Griswold style; a man jumping a fence and coming face to face with a speeding train; a woman break dancing; an optical illusion of a conference room; a billiards trick; a man hacking away at some rock formation; a dirtbiker stunting on a trail; a jet ski; a man ascending an obstacle course with a ladder; a man jump-roping; a man pulling a block from a still-standing massive Jenga tower; a man tossing trash into a dumpster from his balcony; a man doing a flip; a person carrying a heavy object on their shoulders; a man juggling a dropped package of paper towels; and a man doing a skateboard trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut the posts \u2014 especially the supercut video \u2014 also functioned as a dizzying reminder of Trump\u2019s efforts to change the subject from Epstein.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: The Wall Street Journal broke a bombshell report uncovering Trump\u2019s alarming note to Jeffrey Epstein, telling the infamous sex trafficker, \u201cWe have certain things in common, Jeffrey.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cThe letter bearing Trump\u2019s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy\u2014like others in the album. \u2026 The letter concludes: \u2018Happy Birthday \u2014 and may every day be another wonderful secret.\u2019 \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEpstein\u2019s associations with Trump and many powerful people have been well documented. There remain questions about what the FBI possesses about Epstein and his well-connected friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POLLING: As Trump scrambles to change the narrative, Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of his handling of the Epstein files. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rasmussen Poll<\/a>: \u201cRoughly two-thirds of every political category – 68% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans and 69% of unaffiliated voters – reject the idea that the Epstein case is closed<\/strong> and instead believe that there are dozens of powerful and wealthy offenders who need to face justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN Poll<\/a>: \u201cAmericans are broadly dissatisfied with how much Epstein info the government has released.<\/strong> \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery conservative Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are far more likely to be dissatisfied<\/strong> than are those who consider themselves somewhat conservative (48% vs. 40%).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinnipiac Poll<\/a>: \u201c17 percent of voters say they approve of the way the Trump Administration is handling the Jeffrey Epstein files, while 63 percent of voters disapprove<\/strong>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters<\/a>: \u201cMost Americans think President Donald Trump\u2019s administration is hiding information about accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong> and give it poor marks on the issue after pledging to make public documents in the case, a Reuters\/Ipsos poll found. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…69% of respondents thought the federal government was hiding details about Epstein\u2019s clients, compared to 6% who disagreed and about one in four who said they weren\u2019t sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
