MAGA splinters big time over the war. Trump’s reaction makes things worse.
Truth Social Blast
Truth Social: I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of “TRUMP,” not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” question, or “Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called “pundits” are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country. MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Let’s Unravel the Lies
- Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have not been fighting Trump for years. Up until recently they have backed nearly everything Trump does.
- Not one of them thinks Iran should have a nuclear weapon.
- None of them are “Low IQ” although one might claim they were stupid to support Trump as much as they did in the past.
- Trump says, “As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to. ” Really? How?
Trump is the one who is stupid and acting childish.
Attacking Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones can only do one thing. And that’s lose votes.
Tucker on Trump
This One is Funny
Tucker Mocks Trump
Candice Owens
“You belong to the Epstein class. That is your legacy now.”
MAGA followers of the above are not likely to rush to the other side and become Democrats. But independent followers of the above may indeed switch votes.
Many former cultists have finally had enough. I see it nearly every day on X.
Full Collapse
Megan Kelly
Megyn Kelly on the Situation Room
Alex Jones to Trump
“Do one more thing — 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 came to the right place.”
A Word With Trump
Click “show more” above for a big rant from a now clearly ex-MAGA.
MAGA Is Cringe
Reflections on the Pope
There are 1.4 billion Catholics around the world, and about 72 million in the US alone. Starting beef with them and Pope Leo XIV who happens to be American is not a wise choice.

Last One Off the Titanic
Tucker Tries to Explain Trump
Trump made the GOP a cult. This was easily visible for years. Even some of his most ardent supporters finally see it now.
The midterms will be a blowout.
I have said this before but it’s worth repeating. Trump values loyalty much more than he wants to win any election.
It’s the war, Epstein, spending, and a bunch of other betrayals. Young people also expected him to do something about the outrageous cost of housing, but nothing on that end either (actually it’s the opposite of helping, he’s propping UP the housing market).
they do not have to vote Democrat they only have to stay home
anyone who does not vote has to
live with whoever gets elected without complaining
That’s why I vote for me or some Libertarian I respect.
Yes, they are imploding. Meanwhile, the donorCRAT Party leadership and Presidential contenders remind me of the movie line: “I ain’t seen such a sorry lookin’ heap o’ maggot shit in all my life”.
USA is soooooo screwed.
Really, what lens are you looking through? You see the Democratic hopefuls as sorry-looking compared to what? Compared to an eighty-year-old spray tan, bleach-blond, comb-over grifter, or a one-time hillbilly, never trumper, soldier (sorry, warfighter), tech bro, who has changed his name three or more times?
Dont give loser trump a +1 for “DEI”. He hired religious nuts.
Cockroaches, again?
Several comments have greater than 15 thumbs up or 15 thumbs down. Most of the MAGA pundit ‘turncoats’ could reasonably be perceived as pro-Russian assets, promoting isolationism, anti NATO, and anti-Ukraine glop. Our Russian bot friends thru their exuberant voting may be telling us that the Kremlin’s position – like the disenchanted MAGA pundits – on its very useful idiot, has gone negative with the more preferential goal to maintain international chaos; commit, engage, and expend US war assets; and maintain high oil prices.
Vance appears to the perfect Islamabad slimy fall-guy to take the blame and be thrown under the wheels of the big presidential ‘Limited’ Express Train for his upcoming inability and ineptitude to ‘make-the-deal’ and bridge the ten million mile gap between Iranian demands and any semblance of a US positional win. Will Trump Media DJT be less than 6 by the end of May? Will presidential approval be less than 33% by the same date? “Omaha” …
Well that veered into unintelligible.
LLM’s lose coherence occasionally. 😉
Trump can be a disaster and this can also be true, at the same time.
The problem I have with your theory, is that right now, Trump seems to be doing a great job to Make Russia Great Again- blowing all our weaponry in the Middle East- letting embargoed Russian oil back on the market because we broke the market so badly- and thoroughly trashing any geopolitical pull we had by proving our morals to be skin deep and our military power to be obsolete.
We showed up with $1 million-a-pop guided missiles and got shut down by a country with $20k drones. How incredibly stupid that our military was not ready for this! They have had YEARS to see this coming. How was the example of Ukraine not BLINDINGLY obvious to these “professionals?” It’s just unbelievable how badly our leadership has let us down, across the board. Military, political, financial, and business, all run by morons. The brain rot and corruption in American leadership is intense and pervasive.
Hmm think about this. Suppose you are a manufacturer of very expensive missiles selling well to the US Military. Why would you change to a lower profit higher production cost of making thousands of drones?
Solution simply continue to bribe high ranking military officers, congress and the executive regime to buy your tired and true multi million dollar missiles and forget about those drones used by third world armies.

The pathetic closed, criminal small-ball loop of this admin is revealed by the US negotiators in Islamabad
Vance, Witkoff, Kushner–venture capitalist, 2 Zionist real estate speculators
How would they even begin to negotiate nuclear deals, address laws of the sea, the stepping down of hostilities, reparations, Israel’s positions
They have no competence in governing the US, let alone settling international wars
I wouldn’t trust any of the effn US negotiators in a simple transaction like buying a car (not just out to screw you but also unable to figure out how to get you the license plates and title)
The talks are pure nonsense
The Trump “negotiators” don’t really need negotiating skills because Trump never seeks a win/win outcome that most normal negotiations aim for. Trump will always have his people come to the negotiating table with threats, discussions of “cards,” or as hostage takers.
I think to call Tucker Carlson “low IQ” is silly. I would have to agree with Trump about some of the others.
The fact is that, although Trump may not be a very likeable man, he gets things done. As I recall it, the entire West was sucking up to China until Trump stopped it. Trump denounced Obama’s fake agreement with Persia when nobody else did. Those two items make Trump look a lot like Churchill to me.
Not all of Trump’s supporters are clever people, and it is entirely possible, from my point of view, that he will lose the midterm elections. If he does, we are back to the old regime of not only corruption but also stupidity.
This episode may turn out to be one of those glimmers of recovery in a collapsing empire, just before the end. I suppose the next empire will be a Chinese one. A slave race is more suited to urban life than a race of free men.
Trump got nothing done except transfer wealth from the 90% to the billionaires. And, interestingly, a quick development of COVID vaccines. Securing the border, even though it was quite easy to do better there. But China is laughing all the way to the bank with trump as president.
And Obama’s Iran deal was a good one, as evidences quite convincingly by Mish on multiple occasions.
Finally, the idea that Americans somehow are the most free is laughable. I guess you havent travelled much, or worked in an international environment
yes it is all about the billionaire epstein class taking from the working class. maybe we should try to elect progressives. If you have lived almost anywhere else you will see that America is not all that. Most countries have safety nets like free or cheap healthcare. A minimum wage that is reasonable, education for all that is at least science based. America is in trouble and has been for awhile. The big beautiful bill should have raised taxes to pay down the debt not given tax breaks to billionaires.
Trump Gets Things Done
Indeed
Started wars after pledging no more wars
Started tariffs the courts ruled unconstitutional
Unleashed huge inflation
Promised to cut gasoline price in half, instead he doubled them
Promised to release all he Epstein files and released 3 percent of them
Bragged about not needing allies then begged them for help
Broke a perfectly good deal with Canada
Working on a 10-point deal that will give Iran control of the strait
OK
He did shut the border but totally fucked up deportations
And he does have legitimate successes on the DEI woke front
Total Score: F
But F yeah, that’s getting a lot of things “done”
Your points about the border and DEI are honorable concessions. I’d raise his grade to F+
Agreed.
Legitimate success on DEI? He hired religious nutters instead.
His border debacle is a slow burn. The economic damage is just getting started.
I’m a geezer Canadian political junkie with no skin in the game. I predicted Trump would win in 2016 and people thought I was nuts. I probably am, but for different reasons. My criticism of Trump has not changed. I see him as identifying issues affecting the US correctly, but having the entirely wrong solutions for them. A large part of the problem is his vanity. The Zionists know how to stroke egos. Unfortunately, a large number of them are in the the world of finance as well. Free trade does not equal fair trade. It’s been known since the “Asian Tiger” days 35+ years ago, that low wage countries will always drain industry from high wage countries. We can’t compete without tariffs. It’s been that way for centuries. The US funded itself on tariffs prior to the Federal Reserve. The banking cartel needs wars to thrive. Trump is too close to the banking cartel via property development to understand that, possibly because they stroke his ego so well.
Entirely possible he’ll lose the midterms?
It’s going to be a blowout in favor of the Dems.
Good analogy, Churchill destroyed the empire fighting an enemy he probably didn’t need to because his Jewish financial supporters made him.
I am a huge admirer of Churchill and have read his autobiographies. The only similarities between Churchill and Trump are their personal vices. But the differences are stark. Churchill respected institutions; Trump views institutions with contempt. Churchill was guided by longstanding principles that allowed him to easily identify good vs. evil, whereas Trump is transactional and will hesitate to make a deal with the devil. There is little doubt in my mind that had Trump been President in 1938-40, he would have made Charles Lindberg Secretary of State, the most high-profile member of the America First movement, and Trump would have made a deal with Hitler, just like Stalin did. Churchill said, you cannot trust any deal with Hitler and we will fight to the death before ever bending a knee to evil.
Try reading some real history. The only principle guiding Churchill was his ego. The bankers needed a war with Germany for the same reason they need a war with Iran – both oppose(d) usury.
Spot on. Old AH had no beef with England and wanted no war with them. There was especially no reason for America to have gotten involved at all. We could have used diplomacy and other methods to reach an acceptable outcome with the 3R.
It’s very funny how he thinks calling them the most playground insults ever is going to stack up to the kind of dirt they can sling back at him.
And for the record, I do think Owens and Jones are dumb as two stumps in a wood chipper. They’ve just got more ammo.
Do u really think they’re dumb? Which blogs do you read instead, other than Mish?
The reason those MAGA influencers have dropped Trump is they see more money in attacking him than going down with the orange ship. None of them have one iota of principle other than to the Benjamins
Nor does the Donald. It’s all the result of decades of Fox News right-wing hucksterism.
I was wondering about that. These people didn’t understand Loser Trump before the election? Maybe they’re now working to maintain credibility, since they already helped elect the Loser in Chief.
I’m sure some were fooled, despite all the signs. Maybe all were fooled. Either way, disappointing.
Cannot happen soon enough……..for the masses.
Ok, but guess what, now we going to get commie democrats and wide open borders again soon. The masses aren’t “winning” in either circumstance.
Ive said it before. Everyone in trumps orbit loses. Trump cares about trump. The closer you are the more you get burned.
I’m not seeing the MAGA rank and file supporters abandon Trump one iota.
If Trump does something they don’t like, they resort to whatever defense they can to prevent their minds from exploding.
For example, if Trump does something bad, Trump is actually doing it to achieve the opposite of what he appears to be doing (sort of like reverse psychology).
For example, Trump started the Iran war to “bring oil prices down”. Sure they’re high now, but “soon” oil prices will be at record lows due to Trump’s 5D chess moves.
MAGA minds twist themselves into pretzels to defend whatever Trump does.
The mark of intelligence is always attempting to prove yourself wrong. To quickly jettison ideas that aren’t true and get closer to ideas that are true. MAGA loyalists are the opposite. They only accept information that confirms their previously held beliefs, true or false. And they would feel humiliated to have to discard a previously held belief. That’s why Trump is so popular with evangelicals. Truth and falsity have no place in a world where faith is the basis of understanding. Trump can manipulate the faith and they are forced to tag along. Note that the decline of America began in the late ’70’s to early ’80’s. The same time when Moral Majority and similar groups began the revival of American Christianity.
You mean like transgender loyalists?
Trans are a tiny tiny tiny part of the population less than 1%. yet the fear mongers played it for all it was worth like they were going to take over the country somehow. do you realize how small an issue it really is but like gay and race and gender — Drive the wedge – Ride the fear – make the billionaires richer – MAGA and Bernie bros have a lot more in common than Peter Theil and a farmer or plumber do
Here ya go…
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cognitive-dissonance-helps-explain-why-trump-supporters-remain-loyal-new-research-suggests/ar-AA20EjUV
In a nutshell, MAGA = deeply mentally ill.
Right because the left does not have shibboleths that will get you canceled for denying reality, e.g., differences in intelligence for each human and group of human, anti-biological pseudoscience (I am waiting for a biochemical and molecular biological explanation of all this nonsense), whites are the scourge of the universe, some groups can never be held responsible for anything, while others are held responsible for everything, lack of historical realism, etc.
Can you name someone who believes all of this and provide me some kind of link to prove it? … I thought not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve
Absolutely I can. The entirety of the CA Democratic establishment believes in anti white and transgender nonsense and the teachers and textbooks my children use are filled with this nonsense. Maybe in flyover country or wherever you live you don’t see that yet, but in CA, aka the tip of the spear where whites are a minority you certainly do. And for the record I hate Fox News and all mainstream media. I have advanced degrees in engineering and finance so don’t try to tell me what I know or don’t know. I am also a member of MENSA and even more rarified high IQ societies so you can sod off.
Ummmmm…the Democratic pastry consists of a lot of white people. And brown people. And black people. And gay people. And non religious people etc…The Republican Party has been as white as can be since the civil rights battles of the 60’s. The white conservative democrats left for the Republican Party as soon as other people started asking for rights FROM the white people. And fighting for those rights and winning those rights. Conservative white christians have always hated everyone but their own. And you really are Loathing.
Democratic party* big fan of pastry too though
“The entirety of the CA Democratic establishment believes in anti white and transgender REALISM and the teachers and textbooks my children use are filled with this TRUTH.”
Fixed it for ya,
Secondly, all of these things you attribute to “the left” simply aren’t true. Certainly, for each of the items you listed, you will find a small group of people who believe an item or two(small relative to the voting population). Where you are making a horrific mistake is believing just about everyone “on the left” believe all these things. The vast majority do not. But the power of right-wing media is to show some nutcase doing or saying something dumb, and then attributing that idea to everyone on the other tribe. It is a lie, but not one that you have any ability to confirm. But you have fallen for it hook, line and sinker. Most people find some policy positions of trad Republicans to be wise and thoughtful, while simultaneously thinking some of the Democrats positions to be wise and thoughtful. I am an anti-Trump RINO (to you) Republican. My wife is a Democrat. She doesn’t believe in a single thing you mentioned. And she and I can have a nuanced debate over health-care policy and agree to disagree on some ideas.
You are arguing with a straw man of your own construction. I don’t consume media and certainly not Faux news. The moderate Democrats still vote tribally with the far left on all things related to open borders, immigration, DEI, transgender nonsense so even if they don’t all believe the impact and effect on us younger Gen X and Millenial and Gen Z white people are the same. As for healthcare, it is a disaster for sure and we need a change to our system. In Taiwan, one can get a family of 4 covered for <$200 a month and these are top notch doctors. There are many other examples. I for one am in favor of massive changes to our fully privatized healthcare system but Obamacare was certainly not the answer. I would prefer inferior, less cutting edge healthcare with broader coverage to LEGAL citizens only, premiums based not purely on income but on how well people maintain their weight and health to incentivize lower maintenance costs of individual health, elimination of provisioning of procedures past a certain age to address the 80% of healthcare costs come in the last 5 years of life issue, capped salaries for medical professionals, greater use of telemedicine and AI and loosening of regulations to assist qualified nurses and other practitioners to broaden the effective supply of medical providers, elimination of event-based fees to avoid the perverse incentives there, the elimination of ability of pharmaceutical companies to conduct direct to consumer advertising like every other country, and dramatic reduction of legal bills via tort reform and fee capping by type, etc…
Upvoted for an intelligent, responsible reply. I agree 100% with the exception of capped salaries. That can be handled via price negotiations.
If you want a good idea of what this kind of stupid looks like, look no further than the retards below arguing about how they’d take worse healthcare just to make sure trans people don’t exist. All MAGA can do is work its way to the bottom wishing for another Holocaust of some random group because if you bring up any issue more pressing than “some people don’t like their bodies” they’ll crap a load and jet.
It’s why you get so many people commenting on how Mish “doesn’t do economics anymore”, they’re too fucking stupid to be able to connect gigantic war in middle east with money. Actually, they’re too fucking stupid to connect anything but giant contrived pre-made charts about money to money.
This is also my experience. MAGA is a cult, pure and simple. Whatever the cult leader is for, they are for, until the cult leader is against it, then they’re against it.
“We have always been at war with Eastasia….”
Yes they are in a cult.
MAGA supported Trump because he promised to hurt people they didn’t like (libs, immigrants, etc). They never expected he would turn on them too or that their lives would be ruined. Hard to feel too bad for these idiots but at least they’re finally seeing the light.
This was news this week. A disgruntled employee took a lighter and burned down a warehouse causing $500 million in damage.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-KRDp9O43sU
The same can be said about Trump and his supporters. They were disgruntled so they took a match and started to burn the world and here we are with 1/5 of oil shut out and the global economy burning to the ground.
I think Trump did that on his lonesome.
Hurt illegal immigrants by enforcing the laws that any country has to control who enters and who leaves the country. How about if you want open borders we do away with DEI and let everyone compete? Why do Hispanics get affirmative action when they showed up uninvited? They were not forced to come here….
Hispanics (Asians and Polynesians) were on this continent long before you were….check your history book.
Hispanics are half European and half native american a mix of the colonizers and colonized. Also, they were in a different part of the Americas – mesoAmerica – and would have been thrown out by the North American tribes had they ventured north. Check your history book.
And you didn’t explain why they get preferential treatment. Also, so just based on that logic, Russians and Ukrainians have a right to migrate to Germany and France but not Africans and Asians since they were in Europe long before the Africans and Asians and the Russians and Ukrainians should get preferential treatment in those countries over the Africans and Asians right?
Since you’re a bonafide racist, no answer will appease you in any way shape or form but let’s do the math.
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045224
Blacks are 13.7% of the population. Hispanics 20%.
As of the 119th Congress, 14% of House members are Black, matching the U.S. population share, and 11% of Congress is Hispanic, though Hispanics make up 20% of the U.S. population.
I know math is very hard for racists and bigots but there it is…
California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida come to mind out of the history books.
How’s that Polynesian invented internet working for you?
Renee Good was an illegal immigrant? Alex Pretti? Murdered in cold blood by Trump’s gestapo. Only moral midgets defend Trump and Trumpism.
is there a law that says we can send immigrants to a prison in El Salvador without a trial?
that seems to be more than ‘enforcing our laws’.
Anyway, Mein Name ist Todd.
can you tell me what is wrong with that sentence in German?
The lack of support for attacking Iran is a build-up a growing splinter of MAGA from Trump. When Trump entered Office in 2025, there was a general agreement with WHAT needed to be done, but the cracks started with HOW Trump was getting things done. And suddenly Trump is no longer agreeing to the WHAT. The general issues / directions are good:
1.) Deport Illegal aliens.
2.) Fight DEI and cultural wars in court on the basis they are fundamentally discriminatory and infringe on individual rights such as Title IX, parenting and speech.
3.) Prosecute fraud.
4.) Disengage from Chinese manufacturing and political infiltration.
5.) Reduce government waste.
Unfortunately, none of those things are actually a big deal in the real world. Fox News just knows that they sound appealing to a lot of low information voters. The things that are important: increasing US global competitiveness, increasing internal competition to reduce costs, increasing income for the middle-class and reducing the budget deficit are completely disregarded by the Republican Party. But people vote for them anyway. And every one of Trump’s actions are 100% oppose these goals and now MAGA wonders why their standard of living is declining.
Well open borders and allowing millions of unvetted, unskilled and uneducated peasants drive down wages and drive up crime and rents, all while being given preferential treatment in university admissions and government and commercial set asides, is hardly good for the middle class or global competitiveness. We should be moving to skill and job shortage immigration only and the country, not the entire world, should decide who moves here. And Americans should not be forced to learn new languages to get a job in their own country which happens in many parts of California and the southwest. And before you say I am a low information voter, I speak fluent German and conversational Spanish and Chinese with advanced degrees and a net worth exceeding $10MM. I am just not elitist enough to realize that many people do not have the time or brains to learn new languages.
And my dad’s the Pope and I’m actually a CEO myself and my pee-pee is 38 inches!
Except polling shows MAGA losing on every single one of those issues. And I think you know that too seeing as you spent the last how many weeks trying to call Epic Fart a success. Don’t you have something better to do than troll here?
Alex Jones is particularly hard-hit by this. That guy got broken just because of Trump. Nobody cared a wit about his Sandy Hook hoax bluster — until Trump won 2016 and Jones declared he was setting up a Washington bureau and getting a White House press pass. The biggest, loudest megaphone for Trump was on the rise. Suddenly, MSM miraculously discovered 4 year old Sandy Hook hoax material that’d always been out there for the taking and voila! Lawsuits and bankruptcy.
And this is the reward for a decade of unwavering loyalty. Sheesh!
Wow! Megan Kelly exposes Fox News. That took a lot guts to say after she benefitted from it and stating the obvious 30 years after Murdoch created it. How did the cow eat the cabbage? That was a new one on me. I had to look that one up. Just in case anyone believes no one was on the ball, Michael Moore and Bill Maher had Trump pegged 10 years ago.
Two things. 1. What are all these grifters going to do now? and 2. Don’t underestimate the Democrats ability to somehow f this up!
These people like Tucker and Megan Kelly now saying that Fox is a blind supporter of Trump is a joke. They were there when Fox was a blind supporter of Trump the first time, and they were there when Fox was a blind supporter of Bush (who they have now thrown under the bus.) How long until they throw Trump under the bus? It will probably be a couple of years after he is out of office, but, it is inevitable. Then Fox will find new people to promote their “new” Republican, no doubt.
And, as far as D’s go, they have always shown an ability to F things up. What they should do now is simply take over Trumps grift and run on “making America great again”, but, actually do it this time instead of paying off donors and grifting off of it. The people (from MAGA to D’s to R’s to Independents) are longing for a change in this country and in the world.
We need candidates that sincerely promote world peace and cooperation, that don’t convince us that “those” other human beings are our enemy, that are willing to tax corporations and extremely rich people so that the masses don’t live in fear (of having no healthcare, of being drafted into some idiotic war, of having their jobs taken away by machines, etc), all while not simply subsidizing things with money that we don’t have.
My feeling is that that kind of person is neither a “Democrat” or a “Republican”.
Tucker and Meghan were paid millions of dollars to be Trump’s cheerleaders. Now that money is gone, Trump done grifted it all now.
That is why the midterms will be a disaster.
Hopefully, but, hopefully the Democrats can actually do something to make things better. Subsidizing “whatever” with money we don’t have is not really a solution. Somehow, somebody needs to explain to the populace that we don’t have money, and we need to start living within our means for a change. Deflation is desperately needed.
Is deflation the answer. What happens when everyones house is underwater. Seems to me deflation will crash the system making everyone worse off.
The rich just get less rich the poor get desperate
Maybe just stabilize the system. Balance the budget. Let wages catch up.
Imo the issue is we are well off as a nation.
There is a whole world of people willing to work for less. Pulling their standard of living up and ours down. .
No they just divide and rule. Hate whitey brown and black people. Ignore the fact that the only people to create countries all these people want to migrate to are white people. Look at Orania in South Africa…the poor boers just want to do their own thing and starting from nothing have built a better society on their own while the ANC and the third worlders who didn’t build South Africa but migrated from Northern Africa taking and pillaging along the way (Bantu expansion) destroy the country.
You are a bit innocent of how Congress works. You have to think of Congress as a group of people whose sole role in the world is to fight for the competing interests of corporate America and wealthy international financiers. The American people are there to simply add legitimacy by voting for one of the corporate financed candidates. Until corporate America stop benefiting from war, exploitation of other country’s resources, the desperation of the poor, et al., there can be no peace candidate. This is all thanks to the Citizen’s United decision provided by our conservative Supreme Court. It was a very quiet coup d’etat.
“international financiers”….I think Henry Ford wrote a book about them
The same “international financiers” who are riding Trump hard to fight Iran….
^^^ this guy gets it
The democrats want to make America great for everyone but whites who they loathe. That is why many of us will never vote for them.
JD Vance leading the Iran war negotiating team will be interesting. If somehow he gets a deal done, he will definitely start to overshadow Trump.
Interesting that two Navy destroyers were allowed to transit the Hormuz Strait.
The last two times Iran negotiated with the US, the US attacked Iran.
Without Netanyahu’s involvement, these negotiations will go no where. Netanyahu will not agree to any deal that doesn’t benefit Israel.
Not will Kushner or Witkoff who are Israeli firsters
You are kidding yourself if you think Naziyahoo is not fully involved. I would not be surprised if he has full audio (and possibly video) of the negotiations. At any rate, his assets Witkoff and Kushner are there and no doubt relaying every important point.
Did Iran allow, or was the US conducting a response test?
Sending big US Navy ships through gauges Iran’s willingness to back up its threats with military action. But it comes at a risk Iran will back up their threats.
Ultimately both sides want to destroy each other, so I’m favoring the strategy the US is trying to provoke Iran to take the first shot.
Imo the us navy is not a target. It will be the tankers that follow.
Trump doesn’t have the balls to stand up to Netanyahu.
Frankly, I couldn’t care less what MAGA isolationists like Carlson think about Donald Trump. I couldn’t care less what evangelicals think about Donald Trump in 2026. Donald Trump has never been an isolationist or a devout Christian. They were played by Don the Con because they somehow thought that Donald Trump actually cares about other things beyond his vanity and adding to his billions.
They are all racists, that’s why they got along so well.
Democrats are rascists against white people
I don’t think that’s fair to say. You mean these talking heads like Candace, AJ, etc? Or most GOP voters?
I know plenty of people that voted for Obama and then Trump.
People are sick of business as usual. and looking for an outsider to change things.
everyone is bigoted in some way. some more than others.
MAGA isolationists! Now THERE’s a barb!
“You belong to the Epstein class. That is your legacy now.”
Tell it, Candace!
Another Dump on Trump post. Yawn.
Sorry Mish. I’ve followed you for over 20 years but it’s time to move on. You’ve become “one of those boomers”
You lost a lot of followers going down the Trump Hate rabbit hole. You’ll most likely lose the rest when he’s gone.
I’m moving on to bloggers that keep a more cleared eyed focus on economics that also cover relevant and pertinent developements around the world; like you use to do.
A quick look has already shown me a lot is flying under your radar.
The chat will probably gladly say “so long Maga scumbag.” Whatever. They are only capable of saying “hate trump”, “hate usa”, “hate jews” anyways. What a bunch of useless noise. You’ve gathered quite the crowd around you.
Truth is, I hate Trump like most people here, and for what he has done to me personally and to my country. Not just because “I dont like his style, that I am finacially benefitting from.”
We are going to go through 4 more years of WEF sponsored managed decline because of him. Canada may very well not survive it.
I do believe we will eventually become the 51st state. Not because Trump takes us over but because we’ll be begging some future US president to save us from the “New World Order” watermelons that are tearing our country apart.
And we’ll be the lucky ones. Europe has nobody to save them. Many applauded the Davos speech. I looked into low cost of living countries to bail out to.
In your prime you would have been on top of this. Now your part of it.
Best of luck Mish. It has been a wild ride. You introduced me to libertarianism and gave me a sack of cash from the housing bubble. It was fun while it lasted.
I’ll miss you.
Jordan
And yet you keep coming back over and over again. Not only that but you can’t help but post a very long comment on a post you don’t seem to like. Lol.
@Mish keep doing what your readers love!
And we all know you’ll be posting comments here defending your messiah under a different handle in exactly 3…2..1….
Goodbye
You’ll be back under new names, crying the same old tears.
“You’ll be back! You’re hooked, Max! You’re a winner!!”
–MacAfee to Max Rockatansky from “Mad Max”
“Sy” has been here for 20 years but that handle has only appeared recently…strange. Every few months we get an “outraged reader” that claims to have been here for 20+ years yet with a handle a few months old that says they are leaving and never coming back.
This is the mentality of a 5 year old child. Grow up MAGA and learn to debate, try breaking out of your 5D dumb mindset.
Bye!
See you next week pretending to be someone else!
not only are Trumps asinine tweets dividing MAGA but they are uniting Iranians behind thier regime.
The IRGC handled themselves well and stopped the bombing. that is what I hearing from Iranians who have said one good word about the RG in the year’s that ive known them.
buy hey, Trump got to act like a bad ass and got a lot of attention by doing so.
thats a win for Trump and his clan.
Mish I just wonder if you think that there will be any difference in our government after the midterms? I think they are all the same
After Midterms, no.
If Democrats get a trifecta, yes
Then we go back to me complaining mainly about
It will go back to republicans bashing the dems on transgender rights or such. Imo the republican party uses these issues to control the narrative because their policies do not benefit the average republican voter. Same ole same ole.
about….?
“about” what?
Don’t leave us hanging
Unless Democrats get 60 seats in the Senate, which will not happen, there can be no change.
In economia news more ships are transiting Hormuz. Plus many more ships are dropping cargoes off in the Gulf of Oman’s Port of Fujairah in the eastern UAE.
Could be repair materials for damaged infrastructure in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain.
The last two F1 races at the end of the season have not been cancelled! That is a good sign that some sort of stabilization and economic recovery is in the offing.
My bets are on moar war!
The truce has caused Israel to lift their war emergency. As a consequence, Bibi’s corruption trial is set to resume.
https://thecradle.co/articles/netanyahu-corruption-trial-to-resume-as-israel-lifts-war-emergency
I think this reality requires the cease fire will fail.
It’s great to be reminded about the Netanyahu corruption trials, because in a way I think this explains why Trump went along with Netanyahu–he finds him to be a kindred soul. Netanyahu is accused in multiple cases of a pattern of granting political and regulatory favors to wealthy businessmen in exchange for luxury gifts or positive media coverage. He has characterized the investigations as a politically motivated “witch hunt”. Sound familar? Bottom line–Trump just plain likes/admires Bibi and so will support him until it becomes so politically painful that he has to stop.
When this is over trump has the epstien files to worry about
I think both parties have the Epstein files to worry about. Especially the “moderate”, neoliberal Democrats and the Israel cuck Republicans.
Dr. Frankenstein’s team (Tucker, MGT, Megyn, Alex) don’t like the monster they created? Remember these guys fed every conspiracy theory with low cost gasoline (pun intended) to rage the fire hotter and now its burning too hot and the fuel is too expensive but it’s out of control. Throwing water on a hot fire just makes it grow hotter now, just see Trumps comments.
But these comments illustrate something else:
You can gauge the level of intelligence of these people by how slow or fast they were to abandon Trump and the Trumptanic. This happened exactly in this way with his first administration and the dumb ones didn’t really learn anything. Kudos to Chris Christie (high IQ) to be one of the first off the Trumptanic I and staying off of it for Trumptanic II (the final Trumpacolypse).
Trump is likely to attempt a coup at the midterms but with so many of his own base hating him now, it won’t go well. Those January Sixers may eagerly show up now to dethrone the clown instead of defending him.
Do worry, Trump will find a way to make things even worse.™
This post has been awarded a 2-star Mishelin rating.
To me, many of these bloggers’ conspiracy theories make more sense than the ones the government offers.
But then they supported Trump instead of Jill Stein or another independent.
They spent all that time analyzing our problems and then arrived at a batshit solution to resolving them.
you know you’ve gone off the rails when Candace Owens sounds reasonable against you.
Screw America first, how about AMERICANS first!
Excellent Comment
Trump may be right that MAGA is his personal cult. And once you become part of a cult like MAGA, you are supposed to swallow every nonsense that comes out of the cult leader’s mouth. It’s interesting to see that people like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones are only now realizing that Trump is easily outmatching them as a BS performance artist.
Do these guys really believe in trump or just make a lot of money pretending to
Oh no, the horrible people are devouring each other!
Yeah, time for zionist democrats to run things again. The recent vote by the DNC’s Middle East Working Committee shows that zionists are firmly in control there.
Please excuse my antisemitism. Are know you are sensitive to so many isms.
If you really care, get out and vote in the primaries. The Democratic party is not monolithic in supporting Israel.
Somehow, all this diversionary activity keeps people from seeing the the powerful and truthful message Trump brings – the current politicians are not very good at their jobs.
Trump is doing his best but I see very few stepping up to help spread the word. His immediate cabinet are trying to show us but we need more to step up before the whole, rotten system can be brought down.
If this is “Trump doing his best”, then his best is not good enough.
Utterly incompetent. Criminal.
no, they aren’t trying to show us anything, they are out to enrich themselves and that is all. they are not teaching us lessons or giving us subtle signals.
the system was set up to be slow, to not give a president or any branch too much power so they can’t just make whim into policy overnight.
it’s frustrating but that’s how the founders set it up in the constitution.
“…doing his best….” – LOL
What is this powerful and truthful message?
“I have said this before but it’s worth repeating. Trump values loyalty much more than he wants to win any election.”
Yup. Because he is a narcissist. They create chaos and conflict in order to dominate and control relationships. In the beginning, they love bomb you to get you hooked and under their control. Then they start manipulating you in order to isolate you from existing social connections so they can establish dominance. Chaos and conflict. Then they’ve got you. If you try to stand up for yourself, or think of escaping, here comes the gaslighting. You’re blamed for what they did or they caused. Projecting, they accuse you of what they themselves are doing/have done. The mistake you can make here is arguing with them. They LOVE the argument because in the argument they feel fulfilled. They have all your attention. Due to their low sense of self awareness, a trait of all narcissists, they feel no shame from their behavior or their lies . Of course, this behavior actually originates out of a very deep sense of insecurity.
‘Disgusting’: Trump’s Top Economic Adviser Brags About Killing 300,000 ‘High-Paying’ American Jobs
https://www.commondreams.org/news/hassett-brags-workforce-layoffs
I suppose you’re wondering why I called this meeting. As you all know we had an excellent dessert for dinner tonight: ice cream and frozen strawberries. About an hour ago, I sent Hegseth to the pantry to bring me another portion. He came back with the ice cream, all right, but he said: “Sir, there ain’t no more strawberries.” Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, I do not believe that the officers of this administation consumed a full gallon of strawberries. I intend to prove it.
Maga has finally run headlong into the Plutocracy and lost
Trump was able to manage it up until now, but the maga dreamers finally realized that when it cones down to it the President (and congress) is owned by the rich
no, saying he is owned by the rich implies he’s swept along by a corrupt tide against himself.
he is the corruption. it was there before him he is a pure distillation of political corruption and venality.
Fascinating that is so obvious and yet people can’t grasp it.
I agree, he’s one of them, strives to be. He thought he could handle the job of distracting the masses peons, but he failed
It seems so obvious that he invaded iran because his 100m dollar donors called in their chit because they saw his maga bs falling apart
They don’t call Fox’s Trump cult loyalist Maria ButtAroma for nothing. Her nose is soooooo far up Trumps ass she can smell BiBi’s pearl jam in there.
Do not expect anything to change on Fox, because it is Israels loudest voice.
Might as well call it “The voice of Israel”.
Not to be confused with “The voice of America”
Two distinctly different realities and “The Voice of America” has been drown out by
Fox/CNBC. This war/banking network is far more pervasive and effective than any of us give it credit for. They own the global quoting and press networks for goodness sakes!
One thing is for sure ~ the Democrats need to field moderate and competent people, to be effective “IF” they win the mid-terms. Winning elections is one thing, governing effectively with the size of the problems we have will be difficult and take skill, dedication and competence to right the ship.
Trump/Vance will provide “Blanket Pardons” for himself and his core network of oligarchs. The Fox controlled press will try to destroy those that would temper the expansion of AI & Israel.
The moderate Democrats are in Israel’s pocket… What we don’t need are uninformed Republicans trying to tell Democrats which people to elect.
Yeah the republican political machine is against anything that can be used to influence voters. No guard rails.
Which problem is moderation going to fix?
Whose family did she marry into?
– Trump’s reaction makes things worse.
> I will say it again, as it needs repeating, so maybe someone will make him aware perhaps? STFU! Just 2-3 weeks and things will have probably quieted down, because of the sheer inability to find something to talk about.
>> Why Trump continues to engage with people who try to rock his boat, has escaped me at this point. Is it that he simply can’t help himself? Some of these folks, but not all for sure, are a little backwards on there thinking perhaps, but with good reason, as they are getting bashed too (again above by Mr. diarrhea of the mouth).
– Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have not been fighting Trump for years. Up until recently they have backed nearly everything Trump does. > Trump has the type of personality imo, where everybody can flip flop at anytime, and back and fourth countless times too. I am not happy with his big mouth at the moment, but then he will say a few spot on things, and you recall why you sometimes like him once again. He is very tough to stay on top of, and by sheer design imo.
– Not one of them thinks Iran should have a nuclear weapon. > I would hope no American would want that!
– None of them are “Low IQ” > Then they should be quiet too, or do they actually love the press coverage, talk show invites, etc. It’s the only way to get in the spotlight for some of them.
– Trump says, “As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to. > A typical goading statement, that should be ignored by smarter folks…
– You belong to the Epstein class. > Trump clearly does not, but a couple of Presidents before him do…
– But independent followers of the above may indeed switch votes. > The base clearly won’t, but some independents might wish to, but also won’t, because it’s a more horrible answer than even a war is at the moment. They would await the Nuclear strike, and the ones that live, might say: “We truly should have addressed that, WTF were we thinking to ALLOW NUCLEAR WEAPONS to Iran!!! Much too late at this point obviously…
Stu’s post shows just how deeply these cultists are indoctrinated.
Poor fella really thinks Iraq had WMD’s and Iran might have developed nuclear weapons in a collapsed low grade storage facility they could not possibly reach.
He loves his “Blood Flavored Kool-Aid.
Dude…Iran has been “2 weeks” away from a nuclear bomb for 30 years. lolz
Google: “bibi with bomb drawing”
Your just being silly… good morning, and thanks for the laugh!
Who mentioned WMD’s? Oh, you did!
Who mentioned developed Nuclear weapons? Oh, you did!
Who has enriched Uranium? Iran Does!
What are we demanding under terms of our agreement? The enriched Uranium!
What agreement?
He probably thinks the election was stolen as well!
NK Kim has nukes and San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle are still standing.
the nuclear deal was working. Trump’s own advisors and the mossad said so before the last 4 months, which is odd given they told us it was obliterated 6 months ago.
stop pretending you were up nights worrying about Iran before all this. ha any asked you, you’ have said we should stay out of Iran .
If you are still a Trump supporter at this point maybe it is time to get help. Some former supporters seem to be saying that Trump has changed in order to justify their original error in following him. If that is what you need to tell yourself in order to get back to reality fine. But really he has not changed that much the only difference is that the Supreme Court basically told him he could do whatever he wants so he went on a power trip, made a big mess, and now he is panicking and desperate. But this is the same guy that got elected in 2016 and was friends with Putin and Epstein etc. The signs were all there. Then January 6th. Whoever supported him shares the blame in all that happens until he is no longer in power and maybe long after since it is going to take time to right the ship. No excuses. Including Tucker, Alex, and friends and GOP congressmen who did nothing to reign him in.
Democracy is fragile. FAFO.
+100
Battered wife syndrome makes it very hard to break free.
Agree completely. Acquaintances told me in 2021, “Good Riddance” and “That guy is dangerous”, then smugly voted for him again in 2024. And, when I say smugly, i mean ” SMUGLY”. It was disgusting and a shame.
Well, either that or a black chick. I mean, what’s a Jesus follower supposed to do?
People have a hard time admitting they are wrong. You have to own it. That is a hard pill to swallow.
I can read headline and know it’s yours.lol find more content
Cry more, piggy.
The guys on the USS FORD did not wait for Congress to vote on the War Powers Act, Impeachment, the 25th, nor wait for the midterms.
Like everything else Trump, MAGA was always a fake. Even Trump knew this. Many Americans have been duped but the truth is Trump doesnt care as long as he finds the next sucker. Wall Street loves him these days. Trump always wanted to be loved by the bankers and traders. He doesnt care if he destroys everything if he is loved. This is Machiavellian stuff playing out.
Trump University.
But guises…..Trust the plan guys…..TRUST THE PLAN 111
The concept of the plan.
Some information about Trump in
https://www.unz.com/runz/is-donald-trump-facing-a-military-mutiny-over-his-losing-war-with-iran/
At the end of this article, an interview with journalist Michael Wolff, who has taken a great interest in Trump, is mentioned:
“In it, Wolff explained that the deep secret to understanding Trump was to recognize that he was a profoundly stupid man, so profoundly stupid that he never realized just how stupid he was. Since Trump never read nor understood almost anything, that explained the erratic, inconsistent, illogical nature of his statements and his behavior.
Given Trump’s uncouth stupidity, he sometimes said popular things that no other politician would dare to say. So his eager followers seized upon those, projecting unto him their fondest ideological hopes and aspirations while ignoring all his other ridiculous utterances.”
1 Star Mishelin award for best comment in thread so far.
He isn’t stupid. stupid people are ineffective. Stupid people don’t become billionaires and POTUS, even if they are corrupt. you can’t be stupid and manipulate a population into electing you.
the problem is people judge his actions based on the stated goals or what is best for the world and so you say look what an idiot he is on Iran. but this is wrong because for him, he’s just doing what is best for him. what gets him more power, or what he thinks demonstrates his power.
His super power is making folks believe he is smarter than he actually is (or thinks he is) lol.
Or maybe just recognizing that most folks are even stupider than he is.
It takes a low iq to believe a shyster.
MAGA has transformed from Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens , Marjorie taylor green, Alex jones, Megan Kelley and Thomas Massie to Lyndsey Graham, Mark LeVine, and ben Shapiro. Let’s also include the Big tech billionaire Oligarchs and Zionist billionaires who fund him to support their forever wars for Israel-and the rest of the Epstein class. If not for the dwindling tens of millions of Christian Zionist dispensationalist wackos he would have virtually no numerical support. I expect his approval rating will get as low as 15%-far less if not for the Christian Zionist wackos who form a base of support.
This transformation is a standard feature. Take a successful movement, ingrain oneself with flattery, guile and blackmail, hollow out original defenders/builders like a cuckoo chick and then bend the moment to one’s agenda and will. It is skill honed across centuries. Ah yes, have lawfare tools ready and in place to attack and prosecute those who see through the veil and fight back.
Hitler did the same with the brown shirts and had them executed, as you rightly say standard wannabe dictator playbook stuff. MAGA you are such losers and you backed the wrong horse.
Iran is Trumps Operation Barbarossa moment and its all downhill from here on. Unfortunately the reputational damage to the US is irreparable.
Yes, it’s the Neocon “twilight”.
End of a generation. Time for something new.
Sounds like what they did in 2009 when they co-opted the tea party movement.
Exactly. The Tea Party was inspiring, but ended up captured by the likes of Cruz. Much like the first Tea Party, which led to Washington leading the new Usonian army into its first battle against Usonians.
I’m not sure. Trump’s core of support is basically a cult.
They’re immune to facts, logic, morality, evidence and everything else. They’ve outsourced their thinking to the cult leader.
Who has gutted the checks and balances…
Yeah i;ve seen interviews where they say they agree with him on Iran, that it can’t get nukes and is a bad country etc… there’s a core that is not gong anywhere no matter what he does.
Trump is chasing so many former loyalists away that it is getting to the point when nobody else will be in the room ….and then the Donald will have to out the lights.. And close the door behind him.
Except Trump will not turn out the lights and leave the room.
He will burn it down.
And then blame someone else for starting the fire
And then make an inflated claim on his insurance policy
Did you not vote for him in 2016 and by announcing it encourage your subscribers to do the same? I know, maybe that’s ancient history, but surely you’re in part (a small part) to blame, yes?
I have read Mish for over a decade. He may have voted for Trump, but Mish himself has always identified mostly as a Libertarian.
This term, Trump has been so bad! Mish has not backed off pointing out the many outrageous actions of this administration, even at personal cost of this blog, which Mish has tirelessly built over the past two decades.
I don’t really fault anyone for their vote in 2016. Trump may have looked better to many than yet another 4 years of a Clinton.
I agree mostly. I think a lot of Mish’ analysis is spot on but where he misses it is usually because he assumed actors will play by certain rules. I remember around the financial and then the euro crisis that Mish analysis assumed central banks not to overstep their official mandates. That was proven wrong. I saw the same in when hé defended Trump: he pointed to things trump said he’d do, assuming some exaggeration but not the level of lying trump was actually capable of.
voting for him is 2016 is bad, but somewhat understandable, voting for him in 2024 after the shit he pulled on Jan 6 and the election denialism etc.. . is completely different.
Nah. Voting for him in 2016 was not understandable. He was Donald Trump. A complete racist, misogynistic, uncouth idiot. I refused to vote for him or Clinton. That was an election everyone should have voted 3rd party out of protest.
Agreed, the historical context that in 2016 Trump’s opponent was HIlary Clinton is a critical point. Trump’s first administration was marked by several failures though, such as the imposition of tariffs, walking away from the Iran deal, not achieving anything on health care, etc. He really didn’t deserve a second chance. I couldn’t understand why MAGA supported him in 2024, and can’t understand why any remnants of MAGA stay with him now in 2026.
At some point in life you have to admit something is your fault. There is no one on earth that is faultless. I wish I was right ALL the time l!
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone……………….
Where as a stone, may never get cast…
Israel sure casts a lot of stones?
Ever since Balfour that is all they have done…
Read the first amendment to understand why America was formed before pretending you love this country and our forefathers.
So True!!!
Admitting your wrong is one thing, but when the highest office in the country is constantly embroiled in hostility, it is entirely reasonable to view that not as a strategic advantage, but as a profound liability. I doubt that Pope Leo will be visiting the United States until trump is gone.
That’s funny! I know a Heidi W. that is right all the time and always a victim.
Silly gurl… Loves Anesthesia…
Definitely not me and kinda creepy comment about anesthesia.
