MAGA blowing itself up by treating people 'like they're trash': GOP ex-governor

President Donald Trump's MAGA movement is falling apart because it is based on little more than attacking and bullying others, former Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich told MS NOW's Antonia Hylton on Monday — and the falling out between Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is a sign of what is to come.

"Governor, do you think that kind of soul-searching is happening right now?" asked Hylton. "I ask because, you know, as part of this profile with The New York Times, Marjorie Taylor Greene describes herself as having been naive. She also says that 'Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you're wrong. You just keep pummeling your enemies no matter what.

'Very fascinating': CNN reporter intrigued by Trump's vow of dream gift for key ally

President Donald Trump's hint that a pardon could be forthcoming for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Monday's joint question-and-answer session with reporters at Mar-a-Lago greatly intrigued CNN White House reporter Alayna Treene.

The prime minister has also faced a years-long criminal prosecution for bribery, and Trump has previously demanded Israeli President Isaac Herzog shut down the case, much the way Trump has shut down criminal investigations into himself and his political allies.
