"The take comes as dissent against the president has emerged among the MAGA ranks over issues like the Jeffrey Epstein files, foreign affairs, and the cost of living. When Fox News host Laura Ingraham confronted Trump on discomfort within his base last week, he replied: Don't forget, MAGA was my idea. MAGA was nobody else's idea. I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else, and MAGA wants to see our country thrive."
"During Monday's Morning Joe, guest Jim Vandehei, the founder of Axios, highlighted that leading influencers within MAGA's media ecosystem were engaged in a metastasizing hot mess over issues like racism and anti-semitism that was playing out in public. You're starting to see real substantive splits with Donald Trump and where this matters, it really is over America First purity, Vandehei said, pointing to real angst within the movement about affordability,"
"Let's find the two most MAGA-ish people out there, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon. Every one of these things: they want the Epstein files released, they have said it from the very beginning. Bannon and Marjorie Taylor Greene have said, No, we need Americans filling high skilled foreign worker jobs. This is what Steve Bannon went to war with Elon Musk about months ago. Donald Trump, now, is taking the anti-MAGA position on that."
President Donald Trump's shifting positions have alienated core MAGA supporters and produced visible dissent within the movement over issues such as the Jeffrey Epstein files, foreign affairs, and cost-of-living pressures. Influential figures in the MAGA media ecosystem are publicly embroiled in conflicts over racism and anti-semitism, exposing substantive splits centered on America First purity and affordability. Longtime loyalists like Steve Bannon and Marjorie Taylor Greene continue to demand release of the Epstein files and advocate prioritizing Americans for high-skilled jobs, positions that increasingly clash with Trump's current stances and his affinity for wealthy allies, generating growing tension within the base.
