A MAGA influencer trip has drawn a feud between right-wing influencers over their relationship with Qatar and the country's interest in its relationship with President Donald Trump.

Emily Wilson, known as "Emily Saves America," Caitlin Sinclair and Rob Smith — three well known MAGA influencers — shared social media posts from their visit to Doha during the Thanksgiving holiday, including stops at a pricey restaurant, nightclub and the Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix, plus an event with Serena Williams, The Bulwark reported on Thursday.

"The Gulf Arab monarchy is on a clear campaign to charm Donald Trump and those around him, starting with the 'gift' of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet (supposedly to the Air Force, not Trump) in May, and extending to the building of new facilities at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho (which Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth inaccurately reported as a Qatari military base).

A fierce ally of Donald Trump Sunday sounded the alarm about what she sees as a detrimental alliance the president has made.

Trump has previously enraged some parts of his Make America Great Again (MAGA) base with his embrace of Qatar, a Middle Eastern nation that played a role in Israel-Hamas negotiations. Far-right Trump fans condemn Qatar for its links to nations that sponsor terrorism.

One of those concerned supporters is MAGA icon Laura Loomer, who is known to have the ear of the president and has even been called the Trump Whisperer....

A MAGA lawmaker broke with President Donald Trump after a major announcement, saying in a conversation with a Republican influencer Monday, "I'm not a fan."

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) told Laura Loomer on her podcast that he did not agree with Trump's move to allow Qatar to build a military facility in Idaho.

"Look, I trust President Trump's judgment. And I think he has adopted the approach that by trying to embrace them, by trying to pull them and show them the benefits of working with America, he can get them to be a good actor on the world stage. But I am not a fan of Qatar. Let me be clear," he said....

The Iranians reportedly coordinated Monday's attack ahead of time with the Qataris and with the Trump administration's knowledge. Insiders claimed the retaliation was just for show and not meant to actually hit the base. No one was reportedly injured in the attack.

"Here's some breaking news," Carlson said while taping his podcast....
