Why Trump’s MAGA Base Is FURIOUS With Him

from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker

We've been taking it as read that Trump's MAGA base would stay unquestioningly loyal to him no matter what. But that support is starting to splinter. One half are noticing the blatant corruption, and they aren't happy because they believed in 'draining the swamp'. The other half are caught in a purity spiral that nobody can survive, and they are most furious this week with RFK Jr's pick of Casey Means for Surgeon General. It's early days, but it gives us a preview of how it may all start to disintegrate later in Trump's term. Let's discuss.
