An analyst on Friday warned that President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement are showing signs of collapse.
David Rothkopf, a foreign policy expert and columnist for The Daily Beast, wrote how the president's declining health, defecting Republicans, concerns over the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, the tanking economy, aggressive immigration policy, Democratic electoral wins, court battles and plummeting approval rating have all put him in "deep trouble."
Republicans have even begun to turn on him.
"Recent election results suggest that the onetime star to whom so many MAGA upstarts have hitched their wagons to in the past decade is now electoral poison," Rothkopf wrote. "Across the country, elections last month produced resounding defeats for the GOP, while in the few elections in which Republicans squeaked out victories, their margins shrank considerably compared to 2024 support for Trump."
With midterms looming, Republicans could have a tough challenge heading into 2026.
"Donald Trump has fallen and, given projections of a rough year ahead, it seems increasingly likely that he can’t get up," Rothkopf added.
It might not be quite the end of MAGA, but it could signal even more trouble ahead.
"This is not to say Trump and MAGA have no future. Their presence will likely be felt by most of us for years to come, like a shiver down our collective spine. And that’s not just because something like 60 percent of Americans believe in ghosts," Rothkopf wrote.
