Trump Gets 'Ratioed' on Truth Social for First Time Amid Epstein Backlash
www.newsweek.com

... President Donald Trump's weekend post defending Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has triggered an unprecedented backlash, marking the first time the Republican has been "ratioed" on his own social media platform, Truth Social.

The term "ratioed" refers to when a social media post receives more replies than likes or shares, often signaling more disagreement or criticism than support.

In his Saturday evening post, Trump lashed out at those criticizing Bondi, calling her performance "FANTASTIC" and dismissing the ongoing interest in Epstein as a waste of time.

"We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening," the president wrote. "Let's not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."

The post -- lengthy, defensive, and directed at his own base -- appears to have backfired.

According to public engagement data archived from Truth Social, the post has garnered more than 36,000 replies, compared with nearly 11,000 re-truths (the platform's term for shares) and 32,000 likes as of 10:45 a.m. ET Sunday.

Why It Matters

The backlash on Truth Social reflects growing internal division among MAGA supporters, many of whom have spent months anticipating revelations from the so-called "Epstein Files." ...

So, will Pres Trump have certain files destroyed before that bill is passed and signed by him?

So, far, he seems to be happy with AG Bondi taking the flak for what he has likely told her to do and say.

... Victims' lawyer Spencer Kuvin says there's no "client list," but phone records and thousands of hours of surveillance video could expose high-profile men still shielded from public view.

As the administration insists there's nothing left to reveal in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, a Florida attorney who has represented Epstein's victims since 2007 says otherwise.

"I know firsthand they haven't disclosed everything," said Spencer Kuvin, Esq., Goldlaw's chief legal officer. "I can tell you that with 100 percent certainty that not everything has been disclosed."

Kuvin said there's no so-called "client list" of people who used Epstein to set up meetings with underage girls. But he says there was something else.

"So, is there a 'list' of these people? No, it doesn't exist. There's no list, but there's a phonebook," Kuvin said. "And Epstein knew who he knew, and so did (Ghislaine) Maxwell. So when these high-profile individuals would make the call because they happened to be in town for the winter and say, Hey, I need somebody today,' then Maxwell would round up the girls and send someone over."

Kuvin added that his clients shared names of some of those so-called customers " names that remain hidden because of attorney-client privilege and non-disclosure agreements signed as part of their settlements.

"I'm aware because of the work that I did on the cases of numerous high-profile individuals, which I am unfortunately not allowed to disclose, that exist that were utilizing the services of Epstein and Maxwell to obtain girls while they were on the island," he said.

Thousands of hours of videotapes unreleased

Kuvin said even more evidence remains unseen -- videotapes taken from multiple surveillance cameras inside Epstein's homes.

"There are thousands of hours of videotapes taken from inside the homes of Jeffrey Epstein that have, I have no doubt, video of people on them," Kuvin said. "People that have never been named before. Never identified before. Let's see the tapes." ...
