"I'd say the same thing to Tucker Carlson, Schlapp said. The president gets to determine what MAGA is. If they lampoon or characterize MAGA as, We never use the military,' right? And it was just Van Susteren interrupted again to add, We don't do anything overseas, they're pretty much isolationist, we don't help Ukraine. Right, that is never what MAGA was, Schlapp continued."
"President Trump created MAGA, he gets the right to say what MAGA is. What MAGA was, was going back to Reagan. We had the Bush wars, the Bush-Cheney wars and we go back to Reagan: This idea that you have a strong military, a strong culture, and a strong economy, and people fear messing with the United States. That's the policy that Trump has adopted."
Only Donald Trump gets to define the MAGA movement. MAGA is framed as a return to Reagan-era principles: a strong military, a strong culture, a strong economy, and deterrence to make others fear messing with the United States. The movement is described as distinct from isolationism or a refusal to use the military overseas, including support for allies like Ukraine. Internal tensions within the Republican right have emerged over policy and personal controversies, including splits over foreign policy approaches and problematic associations that emphasize racist and antisemitic views.
