Neo-Nazi podcaster Nick Fuentes is the latest far-right media star to turn on President Donald Trump over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Fuentes is a long-time Trump supporter, known for his racist, sexist, and antisemitic views and for participating in the 2017 Charlottesville white supremacist march. In the wake of Trump’s November 2024 election win, Fuentes was condemned for a post on X where he wrote, “Your body, my choice. Forever.” Speaking on his “America First” podcast on Thursday, an outraged Fuentes raged at the president’s “Epstein cover-up” and leveled personal attacks at Trump.
“F**k you. F**k you,” Fuentes said. “You suck. You are fat. You are a joke. You are stupid. You are not funny. You are not as smart as you think you are.”
While he once had dinner with Trump at Mar-a-lago, Fuentes’ relationship with the president seems to have soured over Epstein.
“This just goes to show this entire thing has been a scam. When we look back on the history of populism in America, we are going to look back on the MAGA movement as the biggest scam in American history, and the liberals were right. The MAGA supporters were had. They were,” Fuentes said.

If it’s any consolation to Trump’s disappointed followers, the feeling appears to be mutual.
In a post on Truth Social earlier this week, Trump raged against supporters who were hung up on Epstein. Trump called the story around the late sex trafficker a “hoax” and said that people who still believs there’s more to the story are “weaklings.”
“My PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls**t,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote. “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”
Before taking to his podcast, Fuentes responded to Trump’s tirade with a simple, “Lol.”
