Trump’s numbers just continue to plummet. An AP poll now has his approval at 33% among all Americans. A Fox News poll shows even 31% of Republicans disapprove of him, which is massive.
The numbers reflect a divide in MAGA, and it has deepened after the war in Iran and events of recent weeks. Trump’s threats to “wipe out” a whole civilization, his attacks on Pope Leo, and his sharing an AI image of himself as Jesus have some in MAGA now calling him the “antichrist.” Some of the same people—and others—are also promoting conspiracies that his assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania was staged.
Beyond that, even among those not pushing these extreme narratives, we’re seeing other MAGA figures coming out against Trump, such as Tucker Carlson, clearly worried about their own futures, and the fact that many of their followers are angry at Trump—and they don’t want to be behind their own followers.
David Gilbert of Wired, who covers the extremes within the MAGA movement, wrote all about it and joined me on my SiriusXM program to talk about it.
