Trump said climate change was a hoax. He was right.
Trump said the Russia collusion scandal was a hoax. He was right.
Trump said the Epstein case is a hoax; not the crimes, but the coordinated attempt to frame him as another one of Epstein’s sick friends.
What else did Trump call a hoax?
He called the Steele Dossier a hoax, and it was, a political document disguised as intelligence, funded by his opponents and pushed through the system as if it were sacred truth.
He called the “very fine people” narrative a hoax, and the full transcript eventually proved that he had explicitly condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists, forcing even the most hostile fact-checkers to admit the story had been twisted beyond recognition.
He said the Hunter Biden laptop was real while everyone else insisted it was Russian disinformation, and then years later the FBI and the very same newspapers that mocked him were forced to acknowledge that he had been telling the truth from the start.
He said the virus likely came from a lab, and they called him a racist conspiracy theorist, yet today the very agencies that denied it now quietly concede the lab origin.
He said the Border Patrol whipping story was a hoax, and it was, because investigations later confirmed that no whips were ever used and that the entire moral outrage had been staged around a misleading photograph.
He said the Alfa Bank server story was a hoax, and Durham eventually revealed that the entire accusation had been engineered by political operatives who never expected anyone to check their work.
He even said the tear-gas photo-op story was a hoax, and a federal watchdog later confirmed that the security clearing had been planned long before he ever walked to the church with a Bible.
When you place all of these together, you begin to see that Trump does not use the word hoax lightly, he uses it when he detects a manufactured narrative, a coordinated smear and almost every time the world eventually circles back to the position he held long before the truth was socially acceptable.
So when he says the Epstein angle was a hoax, he does not mean the crimes, he means the setup, the smear, the attempt to tie him into a network he was actually trying to expose.
At some point it becomes impossible to ignore that Trump’s instinct for identifying these falsified narratives is unusually accurate, because whenever he calls something a hoax, the truth has a strange habit of catching up with him, and the people who laughed are left pretending they never believed the lie in the first place.
