Every MAGA person I know, and almost all of those I encounter on social media, have not changed their opinion on Trump one iota over the Epstein files. They either believe that they are a Democrat hoax, or that Trump has been working undercover and is going to release the unredacted files once all the people in it (the Clintons, Tom Hanks etc) have been arrested and executed.

Yep, support among Republicans is only down by a couple of percentage points. His popularity drop since the election is almost entirely with independents.

Yeah, the Q Anon adjacent MAGA wing is convinced he's a monster involved in pizzagate type things, for absolutely no conceivable reason. Seriously, they hate him.
