Donald Trump goes off the rails over Epstein, again blames Barack Obama in explosive new meltdown

Donald Trump blames Barack Obama in explosive new meltdown: US President Donald Trump is lashing out again, this time deflecting questions about Jeffrey Epstein by reviving old allegations against Barack Obama. In a flurry of Truth Social posts, Trump accused Obama of planning a "coup" to undermine his 2016 election win. His allies support him, but critics call it a distraction. Now, a tragic twist involving a known Epstein victim has emerged in Trump's defense.

Why is Trump reviving the 'coup' narrative now?

As pressure mounts, Trump resurrects debunked claims, promotes conspiracy theories, and accuses Obama-era intelligence officials of treason in a fiery meltdown.


Donald Trump is reiterating the discredited conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama orchestrated a "coup" following the 2016 election, vehemently asserting that those implicated "must pay," as quoted in a report by The Daily Adda.

According to a report, in a series of Truth Social posts, Trump has reverted to his previous strategy, diverting his MAGA supporters from the intensifying Epstein files controversy by reiterating unfounded allegations against Obama and senior U.S. intelligence officials who determined that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

“The Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX is now TOTALLY UNDISPUTED! THE FACTS ARE ALL THERE, IN BLACK AND WHITE,” Trump asserted on Truth Social Friday morning. “It is the biggest scandal in American History. The perpetrators of this CRIME must pay a big price. This can never be allowed to happen in our Country again!”

Trump went one step further and posted a video from The Daily Signal in which right-wing pundit Victor Davis Hanson claimed that Obama-era intelligence officers were planning to "destroy" him following his victory over Hillary Clinton. "The crime of the century must be paid for by them," Trump continued, as per a report.

What does Tulsi Gabbard allege about Barack Obama?

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, made accusations earlier this month that are the source of the most recent attacks. Using recently declassified documents as support, she asserted that Barack Obama and top national security officials engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy" to create false proof of Russian election meddling in order to sabotage the validity of the 2016 election results.

In order to undermine Trump's triumph, Gabbard claimed that Obama and senior intelligence officials purposefully produced phony evidence of Russian intervention. This was a concerted attempt, she claimed, to undermine the legitimacy of the new government right away, as quoted in a report by The Daily Adda.

She also charged Obama's team with creating the framework for what she called a "years-long coup" against Trump by spreading false material to support attacks on his administration.

Gabbard's accusations are based on a purported inconsistency in January 2017 U.S. intelligence reports. Although the studies determined that Russia conducted an influence effort to support Trump's campaign, she says there are unverified reports that Moscow manipulated vote counts to Trump's advantage.

The Obama administration has maintained that Russia did not alter any vote totals or compromise American voting machines in spite of these allegations.

A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report from 2020 verified that Russia did try to use influence operations to support Trump's 2016 campaign.

However, Obama’s team and independent agencies have repeatedly confirmed that no vote totals were altered.

How is Donald Trump responding to renewed Epstein scrutiny?

Trump's recent flurry of posts that target Barack Obama arrived as his relationship with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein, who passed away in August 2019, comes under increasing scrutiny.

Trump has long claimed he cut ties with Epstein over a “business dispute,” but now suggests the fallout stemmed from Epstein “stealing” young staff members from Mar-a-Lago.

“He took people. I said, ‘Don’t do it anymore,’ because they work for me,” Trump said, referring to his former resort employees.

While Trump's supporters, including Dan Scavino, applaud his online offensive, others see it as a calculated effort to divert attention away from the Epstein revelations.

The FBI's previous investigation into Hillary Clinton's alleged efforts to link Trump to Putin resurfaced in his posts, though analysts note that much of that claim could be attributed to Russian disinformation.
