MS NOW Trolls Trump With Brutal Supercut
The people who carried Trump back to the White House are walking off without him.
President Trump has been given a scathing reminder of his evaporating support amongst right-wing media.
Conservative news outlets and podcasts starkly opposed to the mainstream and legacy media were pivotal in bringing millions of voters—often young males—out in support of Trump in 2024.

That support has steadily eroded during the president’s second term, as key voices broke with him over major issues such as the war in Iran and the release of the Epstein files.
MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace drew attention to the scale of exodus on her show Deadline: White House.

“I do want to show you some of the contortions that Trump has forced some of his most rabid followers to make in their own words,” she said, “starting with Alex Jones.”

She then played two clips of the Infowars founder, one expressing his support of Trump in 2024 and another from last month, where Jones called for “25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center, to get control of our country.”

Next up was Candace Owens, whose clip saying she would be supporting Trump was followed by another of her admitting, “I’m completely embarrassed that I supported Trump in the past because of, you know, the fact that he completely flipped on his entire base.”

Then it hopped to podcaster Shawn Ryan, who at first wished Trump good luck before later admitting, “I never even wanted Trump to win until he was the only guy to vote for.”
Next up was UFC fighter Sean Strickland, who kicked off by saying, “Dude, Trump is the f---ing man. You guys ever meet Trump, you talk to him? No, you meet him and he’s actually a solid f---ing guy.”
Following suit, it then cuts to him saying, “When you’re at a Trump rally, you’re like, ‘Oh, I could definitely see how Hitler happened.’ Like, I’m not even, I’m not f---ing joking to you.”

“What did Trump do during the eclipse? Stared at the sun?” Wallace said as the supercut ended, referencing the 2017 viral images of the president looking skyward without wearing protective eclipse glasses.
“This is sort of like staring at the sun. It’s important to see how he brought along so many young disaffected men, and it was through a lot of those content creators... and messengers,” she continued.

“None of them has moved toward him, right? There isn’t a second reel that we’re not showing you of Trump people who are more excited about him than they were before. They have all turned away from him.”
The names noted by Wallace come amid a wider movement of figures to have jumped ship from the USS Trump, including former Fox hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, and former MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Several of these key players, including outgoing GOP congressman Thomas Massie, were pictured at Carlson’s home studio in Maine, where they claimed to be planning a new America First movement.
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all,” Greene tweeted on Saturday. “Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.”
