Trump, who has remained silent thus far on the schism, faces a quickly deepening conflict between his richest and most powerful advisors on one hand, and the people who swept him to office on the other.
All this is stupid. But I know one thing:
Trump is a billionaire.
And I predict his followers are going to learn who he’ll side with when push comes to shove.
Also, Bannon’s take is interesting:
Bannon tells Axios he helped kick off the debate with a now-viral Gettr post earlier this month calling out a lack of support for the Black and Hispanic communities in Big Tech.
I suspect Trump will change try to sell Musk’s position to his base. He’s not really ideologically driven, he’s driven by what benefits him personally, and like it or not, selling sacks of excrement was Trump’s strength even before he got into politics.
He’ll 100% drop MAGA, voters can’t help him anymore, billionaires can.
And racists hate being dropped by someone more than they hate minorities. They’re not gonna stop being racists because trump told them too. They’re gonna focus all their anger on him for the switch.
We’re gonna see more rightwing attempts on his life.
trump was never driving the MAGA base, it’s a tsunami wave that he managed to surf for a while, but he could never control the wave, and he’ll likely be pulled under by it and slammed against the shore.
I know how they think, the county I grew up voted 95% trump in the last three elections. I moved long ago, but I know how they think.
