'Fraud': 'QAnon shaman' turns on Trump with profane post

Far-right activist Jake Angeli — more commonly known as the "QAnon shaman" — is apparently no longer a fan of President Donald Trump, according to a recent post on social media.

The New Republic (TNR) reported Wednesday that Angeli-Chansley slammed the president in a now-deleted reply to a years-old post by Trump on X. The 2023 tweet was of Trump's Fulton County, Georgia mugshot, in which he declared his arrest as "ELECTION INTERFERENCE" with the text "NEVER SURRENDER!" Angeli-Chansley replied on Wednesday morning: "F--- this stupid piece of s---... What a fraud..."

"He's lost the QAnon shaman," The Onion CEO Ben Collins observed on Bluesky, sharing a screenshot of the QAnon shaman's reply.

While Angeli-Chansley didn't state his reasoning for why he called Trump a "fraud" and a "stupid piece of s---" his opinion of the president may be in response to his administration's refusal to release the remainder of the DOJ's Jeffrey Epstein evidence despite campaigning on doing so. Even after he was sentenced to more than three years in prison for his participation in the January 6, 2021, insurrection, the far-right conspiracy theorist continued to insist while incarcerated that there was a "storm" taking place that would result in prominent Democrats being jailed over their connections to Epstein.

"I think that it's important that people, like, realize that people now know about child and human trafficking, and they also know about the hundreds of deep underground military base, in the United States and all over the world," Angeli-Chansley told YouTuber Andrew Callaghan in 2022. "They also know about things like spiritual parasites and the way that you know psychic vampires play a role, they know about adrenochrome, they know about Bohemian Grove, they know about Jeffrey Epstein and his island, and all the pedophile networks and the pedophile code."

For the bulk of July, Trump has been plagued by accusations by both Democrats and MAGA Republicans that he's intentionally covering up the DOJ's Epstein files. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that senior DOJ officials found Trump's name in a "truckload of documents" pertaining to the Epstein investigation.

ABC News reported earlier this month that the FBI's index of Epstein evidence includes a logbook of visitors to Epstein's "Little Saint James" compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands, along with a log of boat rides to and from the island. Also included in the Epstein evidence is a "document with names," which could be the fabled "client list" that followers of the Epstein scandal say may implicate multiple wealthy and powerful people who associated with the convicted pedophile.
