Bill Maher Slams Trump's QAnon Base "Turning" on Him Amid Epstein Scandal. In his "Real Time" monologue, Maher discussed President Trump's loss of support from a segment of his MAGA fanbase due to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, highlighting the irony of Trump's past conspiracy theories backfiring

“The interesting part of this is that Trump’s QAnon base, who are always about the pedophiles — oh boy, are they serious about the pedophiles — they may be turning on Trump on this one,” Maher said. “They really wanna see what’s in these files.”
Trump and his administration have been embroiled in controversy and backlash from his supporters for weeks following the Department of Justice’s memo stating Epstein died by suicide in prison and did not have a so-called “client list.”
“Trump was hyping the Epstein files for so long. This was the conspiracy that we had to get to the bottom of, and now his horrible creation has turned on him,” Maher said. “It’s like if Elon Musk got run over by a Cybertruck.”
For weeks, the president has provided conflicting information about his friendship with Epstein during his attempts to distance himself from the disgraced financier and sex trafficker.

On Friday, Maher suggested the president knows he’s losing “credibility” when even his QAnon supporters, “the people who believe in chemtrails and Jewish space lasers and [that] the Democrats eat babies,” are turning on him.
“When that crowd says, ‘I smell bullshit,’ you’re in trouble,” Maher told a laughing audience.
