Trump Accidentally Reveals What He Really Thinks of MAGA Voters

By Greg Sargent

It’s become a stock social media joke to point out that MAGA stands for whatever Donald Trump says it does at any given moment, but now Trump himself has essentially confirmed the point. Faced with a battle among MAGA influencers over his attack on Iran, Trump unleashed a harsh broadside against some of the dissenters.

"THEY ARE NOT MAGA, I AM," Trump raged on Truth Social, adding that MAGA entails "not allowing Iran, a Sick, Demented, and Violent Terrorist Regime, to have a Nuclear Weapon."

In short, anyone who dissents from Trump’s war of choice—anyone who points out that the invasion contradicts his longtime promise of "no new wars"—faces potential excommunication from the MAGA movement. The contempt this shows for the aspirations and fears of ordinary voters who happened to pick Trump in 2024—and might have legitimate worries about the Iran war—is basically boundless.
