Letter to a Long-Lost MAGA Friend Joe Trippi writes to one of his MAGA friends. Please
pass it on to yours.
Dear
Mike, It’s
been a long time. Too long, probably. I don’t expect a reply, and maybe you
won’t even finish reading this. But something’s been eating at me, and I
couldn’t stay silent anymore — not out of anger, but because I still care
about you, even after everything. I
remember when we used to talk about this country — back when we believed in
something, even if we couldn’t quite name it. We knew the system wasn’t
working. We questioned how the economy served the rich. How the media had
turned to entertainment instead of reporting. We agreed that too many in
power would rather divide us than be held accountable. That’s
why, when Trump came along, I wasn’t surprised that you latched onto him.
He sounded different.
He felt like a middle
finger to the whole rotten machine, as you called it.. You weren’t stupid —
you were angry. I want you to know you had a right to be angry — we all did. But
here’s the part I hope you’ll hear: The corrupt played us again. Only this
time for keeps. Trump
wasn’t the solution. He was just a different face on the same corrupt game.
Maybe even worse — because he told you he was on your side while protecting
the very corruption he claimed he’d destroy. You
remember Epstein, right? The monster with the private island and the black
book full of billionaires, politicians, royals, and CEOs. The one who killed
himself, so they say, in a jail cell with the cameras off and the guards
asleep. That whole thing stinks to high heaven — and we both know it. So
why didn’t Trump ever blow the lid off it? Why
did he wish Ghislaine Maxwell "well"? Why is she pleading to work
with Trump to “find the truth?” Why did he hang out with Epstein for years,
praise him in interviews, and then go quiet when the world started asking
real questions? Why didn’t he use his presidency to unseal every file, every
name, every connection? Because
he can’t. Because he’s in them. Turns out he’s just
like the rest of them — rich, powerful, and more interested in protecting his
own secrets than exposing anyone else’s. I
know this isn’t what you want to hear. But the people who truly love this
country don’t double down on a lie to save face. They face the truth, even
when it burns. You
don’t owe Trump anything. He’s not your savior. He’s not your friend. He’s
just another man who used your hope as a shield for his own corruption. And
now, with everything coming out — leaks, documents, names — it’s clearer than
ever that Trump doesn’t want the truth exposed. He wants it buried. Corruption
reeks in those files that Donald Trump is now working to make sure we never
see. So I’m writing you, not to argue, but to remind you: You were right about the corruption. But Donald Trump has shown clearly that he’s betrayed your faith in him to expose corruption because doing so would mean exposing his own involvement in something so depraved, so corrupt and so shameful that he knows even you would leave him. His years of friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the sex trafficking of minors and now he’s part of covering it up. We
can’t save this country by worshiping strongmen or political celebrities. We
can only save it by telling the truth — even when it’s hard. Even when it
costs us friends, or votes, or pride. I
hope one day we can talk again. Really talk. Because I miss the version of
you who questioned everything — and if we are going to save our
country we have to do it together and ask questions together. Starting with
how do we fix this mess? I
hope this letter reopens the door that we closed on each other these past
years. With
love and honesty, Joe |
