Trump's MAGA Base Fumes Over His Luxury Resort Plans - The Logical Leftist



Donald Trump is once again proving who he really builds for — and it’s not the working class in red hats. In this video, I break down how Trump’s new ultra‑luxury “patriotic resort” project has sparked outrage from his own MAGA base, who are finally seeing the gap between the populist branding and the billionaire reality.

We’ll look at how this resort design became a symbol of Trump’s elitism and authoritarian ego, and why even his hardcore supporters are calling it a palace for the rich while ordinary people struggle with basic costs of living.
In this video I cover:

• What Trump’s luxury resort project actually looks like and who it’s really for
• Why MAGA supporters are angry and accusing him of selling them out
• How tax breaks, special deals, and public resources help build playgrounds for the ultra‑rich
• The hypocrisy of “anti‑elite” rhetoric from a guy building gilded shrines to himself
• What this resort fight reveals about Trumpism, authoritarianism, and class politics in 2026
