MAGA Not Invited


When the Trump family sat down with the royal family of Saudi Arabia last week, the MAGA red hats were not invited. While the disciples ate hamburger at home, Trump's guests dined on rack of lamb. While the MAGA crowd grumbled about the upcoming half time show, the Trump juniors were accepting investments in their Saudi projects. Before dinner, Trump had F35's fly over the White House, to remind the royals what was at stake.

However, even before the dinner, I believe MAGA was already losing their appetite. Maybe they are not quite ready to admit it, but despite any high school football concussions, they know a slight when they see one. VP Vance told them, “As much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little bit of time for every American to feel that economic boom, which we really do believe is coming. We believe that we’re on the front end of it,”  Vance may have to eat those words if he runs in 2028.

Trump's threats of sponsoring a primary opponent against any defectors this spring is ringing hollow, except perhaps to Marjorie Green. However, the coming battles in the general election are feared, and rightfully so. The incumbents, especially freshman, are running out of time to exert their independence from their Trump Trance.

I'm not here to be polite or popular

  1. Vance and Rubio are already lining up supporters to back their bids to replace Trump in 2028.

    Vance is angling for the far-right MAGA, while Rubio is lookiing at the GOP and the moderates in the Trump administration. Such as they are.

  2. MTG was likely seriously threatened or blackmailed because of her recent perspectives on Israel. I see no other reason she couldn’t take the heat for a little while.

  3. I expect that 2028 will be far more complicated than anyone can envision. The old patterns are as dead as they can be. I will expect we are in for political shock and awe.
