'Trump has betrayed us': Candace Owens attacks Trump as 'deep state' president

Right-wing podcaster Candace Owens said that President Donald Trump "betrayed" his MAGA supporters by becoming part of the "deep state" after refusing to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During a Wednesday interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Owens declared that "Bibi Netanyahu is president of the United States."

"Now, with everything happening in Gaza, and Trump turning a blind eye to it, pretending that it's totally fine, it's become very clear that Bibi Netanyahu has power over Trump," she explained. "And I think the real mask-down moment was, of course, him trying to gaslight us about the Epstein files. That's ridiculous."

"So the fact that he intentionally read the room wrong and then said, 'If you're still interested in the Epstein files, I don't want you as my supporter anymore.' He tweeted that effectively. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. No one should accept that."

Owens admitted that she had initially believed that Trump "was going to be a solution to the deep state," but changed her mind because "now it seems that he's become it."

Owens also slammed the decision to transfer Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, to a low-security prison.

"It's probably nicer than your house and my house, if we're being honest," Owens told Jones. "And it saddens me to say this, truly, someone that was really invested in [Trump]. I'm wondering whether or why he betrayed us, you know, what they have on him. We know that Israel has been running the most effective worldwide blackmailing."

The podcast host offered the theory that "Trump got funded somehow via Epstein for the world, you know, Miss America, whatever it was that he was involved in."

"Yeah, Trump, I don't think your supporters have left you," she remarked. "I think you've abandoned your supporters."

"We have to just acknowledge the fact that Trump has betrayed us on the matter of speech," Owens added.
