The Great Unraveling: MAGA is turning on Trump, in large part because of four big broken promises
MAGA is coming apart at the seams. The general election earlier this month, with blowouts of Republican candidates across the country, signaled an existential threat to their party come next year’s midterms.
But rather than course correct, the White House went into denial mode: There’s no inflation, the economy is in a “Golden Age,” the polls on Trump are wrong, and there’s nothing to see in the Epstein files.
Trump’s stubborn denials of reality were made worse, at least in MAGA’s eyes, by his recent disastrous interview with Fox’s Laura Ingraham, during which he took the side of H-1B visa holders and 600,000 Chinese students on international visas.
MAGA heads were not finished exploding before he waged war against one of his fiercest loyalists, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had refused to remove her name from the discharge petition for the Epstein files. Trump called her a “traitor,” while his minions allegedly threatened her safety. But she persisted, even implying today that Trump is the real traitor—someone who serves foreign governments or himself.

Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself
Make no mistake, he's in the process of destroying himself and the MAGA cult.
