Former Republican Party spokesman Tim Miller sounded the alarm Friday that President Donald Trump is "in trouble" with a key group that helped elect him.
Not only is Trump struggling currently with his MAGA supporters, but the so-called "manosphere" is quickly abandoning him as well.
While there was some anger over Trump's tariffs, broken promises of lower grocery prices, and claims that only criminals would be deported and a better economy, the refusal to release the investigation files around Jeffrey Epstein was the nail in the coffin.
"His main base will eventually come back around to him," said Miller. "They might rally around the flag now and just be like, 'Oh, the media and fake news.' All those other folks in the manosphere that we talk about around this, Nicolle, they don't like being played for fools. They're not in the cult. They were with Trump as a matter of convenience."
He said that this is already evident, as seen with Shane Gillis at the ESPYS this week. He noted the once pro-Trump podcasters who put on a tinfoil hat to make fun of Trump. Joe Rogan was another one who has abandoned Trump and has now turned to mock him.
"So, he's in deep trouble with that crowd," said Miller.
Wallace remarked that "the miscalculation or the blind spot" may be not fully understanding the depths that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were immersed in regarding Epstein conspiracy theories and the issues surrounding Epstein's case.
Trump, she said, "sort of, peered in the manosphere, but he wasn't of the manosphere, maybe not appreciating that this distrust of institutions and these conspiracies that animate the manosphere, it's not that they liked Trump because they like Trump. They liked Trump to the extent that he was adjacent to the conspiracies and that he seemed like a fellow traveler in helping them get to the bottom of them."
