Over the last month, the MAGA base experienced what was seemingly their deepest divide over the release, or lack thereof, of additional materials on the case of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But as the days passed by and the anger seemed to take over the base, the President applied a clever tactic to get his followers back on the same side: unite them over their shared grievances.
