Seth Meyers on Thursday offered a sharp explanation for the turmoil that’s currently engulfing Donald Trump’s most loyal base in the wake of the Epstein files controversy.
Trump’s “most rabid supporters have to figure out a way to resolve the cognitive dissonance they’re experiencing between their years demanding to see the Epstein files and their personal devotion to Donald Trump,” said the Late Night comedian.

And “the meltdown over the Epstein drama is the perfect window into the MAGA mindset,” Meyers said. “The only two things holding them together were their devotion to the Trump cult and their conspiracy theories.”
