Inside CPAC: Cracks in Trump’s base
YouTube video by The Conversation U.S.

Are #Trumpism and #MAGA beginning to #decline as recent MAGA influencer infighting about #Israel and the war in #iran suggest -- or is just more wishful thinking by the left? This @us.theconversation.com essay, based on my observations at this week's #CPAC 2026, suggests the answer may be yes.
I went to CPAC and found Trump supporters unhappy about Iran, Epstein files and the economy, even while the fans at the MAGA conference celebrate his immigration policies
Trumpism isn’t dead, as the roaring MAGA-merched crowds at CPAC make clear. But Trump is struggling through a political winter that could signal the early stages of his MAGA movement’s decline.

“MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party.” An anthropologist says that’s why the Epstein files matter so much to MAGA — they sit at the intersection of anti-elite conspiracy theories, Christian morality politics and deep loyalty to Trump. buff.ly/j7sJq5M #polisky #Trump #Epstein
Why MAGA is so concerned with Epstein − and why the files are unlikely to dent loyalty to Trump
President Donald Trump’s base has supported him through countless controversies. But they split from him over the release of the Epstein files. Why does MAGA care so much about this issue?

@alexhinton.bsky.social answers a question we are all bewildered by: 'Why do MAGA faithful support Trump if his ‘big beautiful bill’ will likely hurt many of them?' They see him as a divine savior 'who can help ward off the threat of radical left socialism'. #USA theconversation.com/why-do-maga-...
Why do MAGA faithful support Trump if his ‘big beautiful bill’ will likely hurt many of them?
Trump voters still reliably back the president, believing that most of the criticism of him is fake news.
