<![CDATA[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.

I've promised myself not to talk about politics but "America First" must be the biggest joke in the history of American elections or at least tied for it.
