There’s a first time for everything.
President Trump was ratioed for the first time on Truth Social after defending AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files and claiming the files were created by Democrats.
If you’re unfamiliar with the internet term rationed it means a post has more comments than likes, signaling displeasure from commentators.
Newsweek shared more on the ratioed post:
President Donald Trump’s weekend post defending Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has triggered an unprecedented backlash, marking the first time the Republican has been “ratioed” on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
The term “ratioed” refers to when a social media post receives more replies than likes or shares, often signaling more disagreement or criticism than support.
In his Saturday evening post, Trump lashed out at those criticizing Bondi, calling her performance “FANTASTIC” and dismissing the ongoing interest in Epstein as a waste of time.
“We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening,” the president wrote. “Let’s not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
The post—lengthy, defensive, and directed at his own base—appears to have backfired. According to public engagement data archived from Truth Social, the post has garnered more than 36,000 replies, compared with nearly 11,000 re-truths (the platform’s term for shares) and 32,000 likes as of 10:45 a.m. ET Sunday.

Hopefully, President Trump will take notice that his base is not very happy about the Epstein files being withheld.
