Trump pals are abandoning him
The roster of conservative luminaries rebuking Trump over Iran this week could have been cut and pasted from a list of his most reliable supporters of the past: Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Mike Cernovich, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Turning Point USA's former communications director Candace Owens, among many others.
"Trump would not have won the primary in 2016 had he run on Mitt Romney’s platform, nor would he have won the 2024 election by running on new wars," Cernovich, a right-wing influencer who has promoted pizzagate and various other conspiracy theories, wrote to his 1.4 million X followers Sunday. "It’s silly to claim Trump is MAGA. He rode a cultural wave, only he had the personal will to do so, but the issues matter, too."
Jones and Greene have called for the Cabinet to use the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to declare Trump unable to fulfill his duties and oust him from the Oval Office.
Jenna Ellis, who was an attorney for Trump's 2020 campaign, said Trump's Truth Social post threatening Iranian civilization read to her "like a president who feels increasingly invincible — and that should concern everyone."
."The rhetoric here is strikingly expansive and, at points, unmoored. When you pair that tone with an apparent belief that executive authority is unconstrained, it raises serious concerns about decision-making in one of the most volatile geopolitical contexts in the world.”
The White House did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment on this story. But Trump told the New York Post that he thinks Carlson, who has visited him at the White House this year, is "a low-IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on."
On Tuesday, Carrie Prejean Boller, a former model who served as a member of the Trump-appointed federal Religious Liberty Commission until February, pressed fellow Christians to stop working for Trump.
"I'm calling on every single Christian to RESIGN IMMEDIATELY from this administration," wrote Boller, who was dismissed from the panel after a clash over the definition of antisemitism. "If you don't," she continued, "the blood of innocent human life is on your hands. Trump is an evil psychopath."
