MAGA media's great unraveling
-
The architects of MAGA's media empire are in open revolt against President Trump, disgusted by his threat to destroy Iran's "whole civilization."
Why it matters: Trump's political strength has always depended less on party institutions than on a decentralized media ecosystem — podcasters, streamers and activists who translate his message to millions of loyal voters.
At the start of Trump's second term, that coalition was unified, powerful and certain: They had just delivered him the White House, and believed he would deliver for them.
Now the movement's most powerful voices are working to keep Trump in check if not bring him down outright, accusing him of betraying the "America First" promises that built the movement.
Zoom in: Each defection, taken alone, could be dismissed. Together, they could represent an existential threat to MAGA.

Alex Jones (on X) referring to the orange #*$&%(#:
Yikes.
“You’ve already shit all over me, and if you try to rub it in, I just, at that point, I don’t care anymore. So, if you think I’ve been coming after you. You think that I’m trying to attack you so I’ll get clicks from the Democrats who don’t buy anything from me and don’t like me and want to put me in jail?
“If you think I’ve been on your ass, say one more thing. One more thing outta your mouth — and Laura Loomer, send him this — one more thing when I’ve gone through hell backing your ass cause you’re the lesser of two evils, then I’m gonna show you how the cow ate the cabbage.
“You should be kissing my ass! But instead, you shit all over me and rub it in. I’m not looking for a fight, but if you want one, you’ve come to the right place. I’m going to politically throw you down the reactor shaft in like two seconds.
“You think I’m intimidated by you Trump, the president of the United States? Do you think I’m intimidated by your hit teams and all the rest of it? Whatever, man. You got God to deal with.” – Alex Jones, on his podcast.
Via Google: “How the cow ate the cabbage” is a Southern American idiom meaning to tell the blunt, unvarnished truth. It implies delivering harsh news or exposing how someone behaved badly.
