US President Donald Trump's shifting stance on the Epstein files has left many wondering about his true intentions. During an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," host Joe Rogan poked fun at Trump for changing his story, claiming he had initially said there were no files.
Trump had spent much of his second term calling the Department of Justice's case files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a "hoax" and accusing his Democratic Party opponents of fabricating them as part of an alleged smear campaign. He repeatedly scolded congressional Republicans and his own supporters for supporting this supposed smear campaign, while also pushing for Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch an investigation into prominent Democrats mentioned in the already public emails.
However, just days before Congress passed a resolution to force the release of the files, Trump changed his tune. He openly called for the release of all the documents about Epstein and pushed for an investigation into prominent Democrats. This sudden shift has left many scratching their heads, with Rogan joking that he had initially thought there were no files.
Rogan attempted to offer a bit of cover for Trump by claiming that Epstein's trafficking racket was used as a means of blackmailing high-profile, extremely wealthy individuals. However, this explanation seems tenuous at best, especially given Trump's own history with Epstein and the fact that emails shared earlier this month claimed he "knew about the girls."
In another bizarre remark, Rogan claimed that he had considered buying Epstein's infamous private island, which was valued at $55 million. This comment only serves to further highlight the absurdity of Trump's shifting stance on the Epstein files.
The resolution passed by Congress has not been signed by President Trump, but Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the files will be released within 30 days. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what Trump's true motives are behind his sudden change of heart.

I'm seeing some crazy stats on this story 
. Did you know that since taking office in 2021, President Trump has made 427 statements about the Epstein files? And over 60% of them have changed or been contradicted 
. That's a whole lotta u-turns! 
. The estimated value of Trump's private properties is around $3.1 billion, with some sources suggesting he stands to lose up to 10% if the Epstein files are released 
. Talk about a golden opportunity for transparency!
. Is this related to Trump's shift on the Epstein files? Only time will tell 
.
. Coincidence? 
. It's anyone's guess what's really going on behind the scenes 
.
. And don't even get me started on Rogan's attempt to spin this - buying Epstein's private island? Give me a break 
.
.
this whole thing with trump and epstein is just plain weird... like one day he's all about covering up the files and then suddenly he's all for releasing them 
and that rogans comments about buying epstein's island? umm yeah no thanks joe 
It's like, we try to present ourselves as certain, but really, it's okay to admit when we're not sure or don't know. The problem is when we pretend to know more than we do 
. But the thing is, people can see right through it, and once they start digging, the truth comes out 
.
. We should strive to be true to ourselves and not try to manipulate others with our words or actions. And if we're not sure about something, it's okay to say so... that's what makes us human 
and now he's just flip-flopping like crazy 
...
I'm so confused about this whole thing! Like, if he was totally against releasing the files and said they were a hoax all along, why is he suddenly on board now? 
, we'd always be like "wait a minute, did they just lose or win?" but maybe thats just the way the game goes sometimes 
.
. One minute he's calling Epstein's case a hoax and accusing Democrats of making it up, and the next he's pushing for the release of all the documents 
. I mean, what's his end goal here? Is he trying to cover something up or was he just bluffing all along? 
. And Rogan's attempts to spin it are just making it worse 
. We need more transparency on this one 
I mean what else is he hiding?
. It's all so suspiciously convenient at this point 
. And can we please just get to the bottom of what's really going on here? The fact that Congress had to force his hand to release these files is just... wild 
.
. It's all pretty suspicious.
