The movement that made Donald Trump is starting to wonder if it’s time to leave him behind, since he’s trying his hardest to unmake everything they’ve sought to achieve over the past 10 years. As the 2026 midterms loom in a few months, a growing faction of the MAGA base has stopped merely criticizing Trump for his policies — especially in regards to the war with Iran — and are actively questioning if he’s fit for office. Alex Jones even went so far as to suggest (per TheGuardian) that Trump had “made a deal to sabotage the midterms,” and that the country was “under the control of a foreign government” i.e. Israel, who has been lobbying for years to get a war with Iran. It’s not just Jones. Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, all former MAGA devotees, are raising the alarm bells. And the president, for his part, is going after each and every one of them, calling them “losers” and “low IQ” and pretending that he didn’t need them in the first place. You know, the typical Trump dance of rewriting history the moment it stops being useful to him. The president’s approval ratings are sitting at an all-time low according to multiple aggregates, including The New York Times, which has him at 40 percent approval against 56 percent disapproval. Meanwhile, there’s been online chatter about JD Vance entertaining the possibility of distancing himself from Trump as a way to save face for the 2028 elections now that the GOP has all but lost the midterms. The political math underneath those numbers is what concerns Republicans. The Washington Times reports that 20 percent of Trump’s 2024 voters say they plan to abandon Republicans in the midterms, and that 57 percent of the swing voters who flipped from Biden to Trump are considering staying home or voting blue. The Democrats currently hold a +6 generic ballot advantage in some surveys, with the party favored to retake the House. Trump himself remains utterly unbothered in the midst of all these disastrous developments. The president posted a video on Truth Social this weekend with AI voiceover calling all naysayers to “shut the f— up and let him cook.” So, the tariffs didn’t work. Threatening NATO allies over Greenland didn’t work. Attacking Iran and disrupting the global economy didn’t work. Gas prices are higher than ever and inflation is bleeding into other sectors as well. But don’t you worry. The president has a plan; just let him cook. And ignore all the MAGA influencers who are now the ones calling the fire department.
