Far-Right Influencer Brands MAGA the 'Biggest Scam in History' Following Trump's Push to Move On From Epstein: 'The Liberals Were Right'
Conservative media personality and self-admitted white supremacist Nick Fuentes ranted about the Trump administration and MAGA on Thursday's episode of his podcast, repeatedly insulting the 47th President and denouncing the movement he had once been a supporter of.
Fuentes lost his cool and began maligning the Trump administration over their handling of files pertaining to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, files which the administration has repeatedly refused to release despite their own supporters calling for their publication.
"And now [Trump] says if you're not on board with the Epstein coverup, 'Oh I don't want your support, you're a weakling...' F--k you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny, you're not as smart as you think you are," Fuentes began.
"If you watch my show you know I've been very critical, I've never been this far. This just goes to show, this entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right. The MAGA supporters were had. They were," he continued.
"When we look back in history we will see Trump as a scam artist who served as a vehicle for this rather than the other way around. We were not the vehicle for Trump, Trump was the vehicle for all of us," he concluded.
Social media users took to online platforms to weigh in on Fuentes' rant.
"Why do I have to be agreeing with this horrible person on a Thursday morning," said one user.
"Wow, Trump even lost the Nazi's," said another.
"lol 😂, those f--ks just realized something that we knew for at least a decade," a third added.
"Nick Fuentes is somehow less cultish than people like Tim Poll and Charlie Kirk who immediately stopped talking about Epstein when Trump said so," a fourth chimed in.
"This is just occurring to him? I've known since the day he rode down that escalator," another added.
President Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Wednesday to disavow his own supporters who had been calling for the release of the Epstein files.
"PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls---' hook, line, and sinker," he said in the post, adding, "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!"

A brief history of the EU–US trade talks in 2025 – DW – 07/28/2025
As the EU and US finally reach an agreement on trade and tariffs, here's a quick reminder of how they got there. The announcement echoes US President Donald Trump's previous moves from his first time in office. The European Union (EU) immediately starts preparing countermeasures on US imports. They specifically target staple American products like bourbon and motorbikes, and were originally planned to target € 26 billion worth of American goods. The EU keeps insisting that the US tariffs are unjustified. In a statement on March 12, Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said: "EU-US trade relations are currently well balanced, as well as hugely profitable to both sides". Trump seems particularly triggered by what he calls "a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky " in a post on his social media site Truth Social. He goes on to call the EU "one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World". In a bid to offer some protection to the bloc's metal makers, the EU limits the amount of steel that can be imported to the bloc tariff-free from anywhere, not just the US. Additionally, countries trying to export steel to the EU will no longer be able to use the entire volumes of unused quotas of other countries, including those of Russia and Belarus. Trump justifies the sweeping tariffs as a response to "a critical threat to US national security." The decision sparks concern in EU countries with major auto industries, such as Germany. The EU reacts with regret, but Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the bloc will "continue to seek negotiated solutions." Donald Trump proclaims April 2nd "Liberation Day" in the US and announces tariff rates for countries around the world, as well as a baseline rate of 10% which goes into effect three days later. The EU is threatened with a 20% blanket tariff, due to take effect on April 9. The EU calls Trump's move a "major blow to the world economy" and says it's "not too late" for negotiations. Still, von der Leyen says the bloc is preparing a new round of counter-tariffs in response to the latest developments. Bond market sell-offs appear to spook the US president, and he reverses course. Counter-tariffs brewed up to respond to US steel and aluminum duties are suspended for 90 days. The suspension is designed to "give negotiations a chance," says Commission chief von der Leyen. "If negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in." The EU's next batch of duties is designed to respond to US tariffs on cars and Trump's broader "reciprocal" tariffs. The counter tariffs prepared by the European Commission target close to $100 billion of goods which seem designed to hit Republican heartlands in the US. Targeted goods include soybeans, cigarettes and Boeing aircraft. The US president prompts shockwaves across Europe again with an online post on his Truth Social platform, hiking the planned tariff rate of 20% to 50%. "Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025," he writes. In a post on his Truth social platform, Trump says it was his "privilege" to agree to delay the entry into force of the so-called reciprocal tariffs. The mood seems better, with von der Leyen speaking of a "good call" with the US president. "Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9," she writes on X. EU states are split on whether to accept a quicker deal to offer industries some certainty or flex more trade muscle to push for better rates. Germany is seen as more cautious, fearing fallout for its major car industry. France pushes for a tougher approach. EU officials tell DW and other outlets that they are on the brink of striking a basic deal with the US. The bare-bones agreement would reportedly lock in the 10% baseline tariff rate, with certain exemptions for aircraft and spirits. But just days later, there's no deal. Instead, Trump says he'll impose 30% tariffs on the bloc come August 1. That's higher than the 20% "Liberation Day" rate announced in April, but lower than the 50% rate threatened back in May. The EU reacts to Trump's tariff hike threat by delaying its own counter-tariffs until early August. Tariffs that were due to kick in on July 14 are now delayed to leave room for negotiations. The European Commission shows member states a revised version of the duties first presented to member states back in May. In the two months since the EU's executive proposed the list of goods, some € 20 billion worth of products have been removed from the list after consultations with national governments and industry leaders. Ahead of the talks in Scotland Trump says there is "a good 50-50 chance" of reaching a deal on trade with the EU. A single 15% tariff rate has been agreed for most of the EU exports across sectors. The two sides also agreed on zero-for-zero tariffs on certain strategic products, and "will keep working to add more products to this list", says Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in a statement. While the EU hopes for "stability", and "predictability," Trump seems satisfied with the negotiations, saying: "It was a very interesting negotiation. I think it's going to be great for both parties." For now, the trade war has been averted, but whether the truce will hold remains to be seen.

Thailand And Cambodia Truce Agreement Comes Into Effect
A truce agreement between Thailand and Cambodia came into effect in the early hours of Tuesday, testing whether it will halt five days of open combat that have engulfed their jungle-clad frontier. Both sides agreed an "unconditional" ceasefire would start at midnight on Monday to end battling over a smattering of ancient temples in disputed zones along their 800-kilometre (500-mile) border. In the Cambodian city of Samraong -- 20 kilometres from the border -- an AFP journalist heard a steady drumbeat of artillery strikes throughout Monday, before the blast sounds stopped in the 30 minutes leading up to midnight. Jets, rockets and artillery have killed at least 38 people since Thursday and displaced nearly 300,000 more -- prompting intervention from US President Donald Trump over the weekend. The flare-up was the deadliest since violence raged sporadically from 2008-2011 over the territory, claimed by both because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia's French colonial administrators in 1907. The peace deal is set to see military commanders from both sides meet at 07:00am (0000 GMT), before a cross-border committee is convened in Cambodia to further salve tensions on August 4. "When I heard the news I was so happy because I miss my home and my belongings that I left behind," Phean Neth told AFP on Monday evening at a sprawling camp for Cambodian evacuees on a temple site away from the fighting. "I am so happy that I can't describe it," said the 45-year-old. A joint statement from both countries, as well as Malaysia which hosted the peace talks, said the ceasefire was "a vital first step towards de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security". Both sides are courting Trump for trade deals to avert his threat of eye-watering tariffs, and the US State Department said its officials had been "on the ground" to shepherd peace talks. The joint statement said China also had "active participation" in the talks, hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister and ASEAN bloc chair Anwar Ibrahim in his country's administrative capital Putrajaya. Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet thanked Trump for his "decisive" support, while his counterpart, Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, said it should be "carried out in good faith by both sides". "If they say they'll stop firing, they must stop completely," said 43-year-old Thai evacuee Prapakarn Samruamjit in the city of Surin. On the eve of the talks, Thailand's military said Cambodian snipers were camped in one of the contested temples, and accused Phnom Penh of surging troops along the border and hammering Thai territory with rockets. It said there was fighting at seven areas in the rural region, marked by a ridge of hills surrounded by wild jungle and fields where locals farm rubber and rice. Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn marked his 73rd birthday on Monday, but a notice in the country's Royal Gazette said public celebrations scheduled for Bangkok's Grand Palace had been cancelled amid the strife. Trump has threatened both countries with high levies in his global tariff blitz unless they agree to independent trade deals -- but said he would "look forward" to signing them once "peace is at hand". Each side had already agreed to a truce in principle, while accusing the other of undermining peace efforts and trading allegations about the use of cluster bombs and targeting of hospitals. Thailand says 11 of its soldiers and 14 civilians have been killed, while Cambodia has confirmed only eight civilian and five military deaths. However, the Thai military said it has returned the bodies of 12 Cambodian soldiers killed in combat. More than 138,000 people have fled Thailand's border regions, while around 140,000 have been driven from their homes in Cambodia. With the skirmish enflaming nationalist sentiments, Thailand warned its citizens to "refrain from any kind of violence, whether in speech or action" against Cambodian migrants living in the country.

NYTimes Rips Supreme Court For 'Ducking' Core Responsibilities During Trump's Second Term in Scathing Analysis
The New York Times' editorial board ripped the Supreme Court for "ducking" their core responsibilities during President Donald Trump's second term, citing justices issuing brief rulings in decisions with nationwide impact. In the scathing analysis published Monday, the board slammed the court for delivering "brief, unsigned rulings" in place of detailed explanations for their decisions, arguing that failure to "offer public explanation for the legal basis of their decisions" affects their credibility. The publication specifically called out the Supreme Court's use of emergency dockets for various decisions where they ruled in Trump's favor to give his administration more influence. The dockets leave little insight into the rulings and leave the votes of the justices anonymous. "In following this path, the justices are ducking one of their crucial responsibilities: making persuasive arguments with which we can all engage," the editorial board wrote. While the New York Times acknowledged that the use of emergency dockets was necessary in some instances, they argued that its recent frequency "diminishes public confidence in government when that confidence is already low." Since the start of Trump's second term, the president's administration has railed against judges that have blocked his executive orders affecting policies on immigration and deportation and the massive cuts on various government agencies. The publication noted that justices are also not supposed to let their own personal ideologies affect their decision, and instead point to laws and the Constitution for their decisions. However, given the court's conservative lean and the amount of rulings in Trump's favor, the NYT noted that there is an increasing "perception that the justices have a thumb on the scale for a Republican president." "The court should think about how its work can bolster the separation of powers to assure the future of American democracy. That is its ultimate responsibility," the publication wrote.
