https://archive.ph/fY2RvFor months now, it seems that every day brings with it a new faction of MAGAworld getting angry with President Donald Trump over something he says or does.
In recent memory, to name a few, podcaster Joe Rogan has compared ICE raids to Gestapo operations; conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has questioned Trumps cognitive abilities; former US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed Trump had gone insane; former Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the president a slave to Israel; and conservative influencer Candace Owens claimed Trump belongs to the Epstein class.
Even on Truth Social, a social media platform created by Trump as a haven to post without any backlash, there is backlash. What!?! You are way outta line, a Truth Social account holder called CaliMAGA69 wrote in response to Trumps recent criticism of Owens, Jones, Carlson, and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly as low IQ losers. Most of these people, especially Alex Jones, have been your Day 1s!! You need to step back and take a good hard look at who is whispering in your ear. Get back to America 1st!!
"I think that maybe it was staged," Tim Dillon said on his show last weekend about the assassination attempt. Dillon, who was previously a staunch Trump supporter, went on to share that Trump should now come out and say, Some people are going to be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it was to vote for me and how far I was willing to go for them.
Some of these claims began months ago. In November, former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson promoted the idea that the FBI was somehow involved in covering up the shooting, writing on X that the FBI lied about the shooter's online footprint.

(3,487 posts)- it was about as fake and badly done as one could imagine, and someone actually lost his life. Nobody talks about him, do they?

(14,463 posts)when half of his ear was shot off?? Poor man could barely take the time to insert the lifts in his shoes before leaving for the hospital for his surgical ear replacement. And you have to admit that they did one hell of a good job because they left no scar whatsoever. And poor Trump was so crushed over the man who was killed that even now he doesnt have the heart to mention his name.

(126,422 posts)In the fall of 1912, Teddy got shot in the chest while visiting Milwaukee. He made sure that the police protected the would-be assassin from would-be lynchers. Then he gave his planned talk before getting medical attention. The bullet was in him the rest of his life.
And Teddy didn't waste everybody's time whining about how he had it harder than anybody else
