Conservative radio personality Michael Savage said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's supporters may "sit out the next election" because they feel the president has "alienated them."
He listed seven of Trump's actions that he said have distanced him from what had been his steadfast base.
In a post on the social platform X Tuesday, Savage wrote, "Trump voters who I spoke with say this; He has alienated them.”
Savage argued Trump alienated his core supporters by "escalating instead of defusing" the Russia‑Ukraine conflict, backing a "bloated pork barrel" spending package in Congress, and targeting tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Like economists and other commentators, Savage also denounced Trump's dismissing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics "who refused to back down."
The radio personality further said Trump offered "unconditional support" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and accepted "a plane from Qatar," which could cost nearly $1 billion in renovations. He also criticized the construction of a "gilded ballroom" at the White House.
He went on to say that the Trump voters that he spoke with "will NOT vote for a Dem but may sit out the next election in protest."
Savage’s criticisms reflect a growing schism in the MAGA coalition around Trump’s foreign policy, support for Israel, and his handling of the Department of Justice’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
These complaints are not isolated: figures across the MAGA spectrum — from Candace Owens to Tucker Carlson — have recently voiced disapproval, particularly over Trump’s continued backing of Israel in the Gaza conflict and the management of the Epstein documents and so‑called “client list.”
