Trump Trumps Himself as MAGA Melts Down in Near Mania over its Betrayal

What a card!

As a result of all of Trump’s lying and deflecting and delaying and especially his total betrayals of major campaign promises, today’s headlines section of The Daily Doom reverberates with the clamor of MAGA tearing itself apart. His biggest supporters have finally discovered that Trump lacks any true center or any ethic or principle larger than himself as he now sics them on each other.

Nearly all the major MAGA influencers have been ripping each other to shreds since the start of Trump’s War with Iran, having already grown impatient and even furious over his endless Epstein delays and particularly over the lies his toadies have told everyone about Trump not even being in the files at first and then barely being in them; but now they are also starting to tear deeply into Trump’s own hide as the war with Iran intensifies and drags on like so many of America’s other imperial regime-change wars.

Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Trump’s wars are a 100% betrayal

Greene, who has been a thorn in Trump’s side since leaving office, painted a picture of a Republican base that is fractured and angry over the ongoing military operation in Iran, and

“It’s actually very split. And it’s split along generational lines,” she said.

“Many of the older Americans from the Baby Boomer generation that watch Fox News all day long very much believe the talking points on Fox News, and they have spent decades of their lives convinced that fighting these wars is the right thing to do,” she explained.

She then pointed to the next wave of voters, who see the issue through a completely different lens.

“But the younger generations - I’m Gen X - millennials and Gen Z are very much against this war,” Greene continued. “And so, when you talk to people on the ground, that’s how it comes across. It’s very generational. And the younger generations are completely against it….”

“It’s 100 percent a betrayal to what MAGA was supposed to be when we voted in 2024, and it’s turned into some perverted, deranged version of MAGA now that nobody wants.”

Megan Kelly says he has lost touch with his base

Kelly goes the easiest on him and says that Trump clearly “does not have his finger on the pulse of the GOP.” For her, the breaking point has been Trump’s war against Iran after all his campaign promises that he would be the Peace President and not seek regime changes. Instead, he has started more wars than any modern president. They are starting to see his is far from what he has claimed.

Jonesing him

But the strongest criticism comes from Alex Jones, who tears Trump down to the bones and explains why he has given up on Trump entirely, claiming Trump has “destroyed” his own legacy through self-inflicted wounds. Jones describes how the whole movement is falling apart now:

Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and others have been all over the conservative circuit, CPAC, their own shows, TPUSA, saying Tucker Carlson is not MAGA, Alex Jones is not MAGA, other people that are supposed to be excommunicated….

But let’s get one thing straight here… I was around a lot longer than Trump, politically, and I’ve never been MAGA — I’m 1776. I’ve supported the aims of Make America Great Again so far. Now all those definitions are changing.

But what Trump’s really doing here is attacking his critics. He wants to say, “Don’t attack me in the Iran war.” He wants to say, “Leave Mark Levin alone, he’s the litmus test.” He’s calling for censorship, all the rest of it on people like Tucker Carlson and myself, “or I will say you’re not part of my movement.” Well, Trump, you don’t have to worry about that, people are already very upset with you and already understand that your legacy is already being destroyed by you breaking your promise about this war, and a lot of the other things you’ve done, like no prosecutions of the deep state.

So, if you want to continue to self-inflict wounds on your own name and political dynasty, I’m sad about that, but, you know, that’s your life. You can do it. We’re going to stay true to our populist conservative nationalist Christian ideas that you rode in on and that we launched….

So, just enjoy the political nursing home you’re in, the waiting room to the rest of eternity….

I’m sick of this crap!

Jones covers even more in the remaining 3/4 of the embedded video in that article (linked to below).

Take it from all of them, as they lay out in detail why they feel completely betrayed (especially Jones), rather than from me. After all, I’ve been saying since just before the start of Trump 1.0 that he would most likely turn out to be a Trojan Horse for conservatives and, since the start of 2.0, that he will likely prove to be God’s wrecking ball for America. So, you should hear it from the mouth of those who formerly sucked up to Trump entirely. (Even Kelly who was tough on him in the one presidential candidate debate she hosted, but then has favored him in order to build her own conservative audience).

Trump is turning out to be everything I’ve said you could expect him to be as he now throws his past supporters into the meat grinder, because the second you criticize him, you’re gone.

Even Tuckered Carlson is getting fed up, even though he knew exactly what he was getting. Prior to the election he said Trump was the devil who had to be contended with because turning on him would cause Fox to lose its audience, so Carlson completely sucked up to Trump, in spite of how he spoke about him in emails behind his back. Carlson did what he said Fox should do, which was to pander to the audience Fox had built up in order to keep from losing them

When Fox sent Carlson packing, he continued the roll of pandering in order to keep building back his audience. Now, though, even longtime suck-up Carlson is getting sick and tired of all of Trump’s betrayals, and Trump is turning on Carlson, as Jones mentions.

Again, don’t judge my word on it. I’m just pointing out what his former megaMAGA supporters are saying. Go to the stories below and read what they are all saying for yourself, especially Alex Jone who is furious over his sense of total betrayal, as Trump sics the dogs on Jones, too.
