'Low IQ' MAGA men are shredding their movement

President Donald Trump likes to boast about his supposedly unanimous support within his own base, but a recent editorial from a prominent financial publication suggested his movement is not just slipping away from him. It’s eviscerating itself.

"The 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) 'manosphere' is showing signs of internal fractures, as disagreements over U.S. President Donald Trump's handling of the Epstein files and the war in Iran spill into the open,” wrote the Money Control World Desk in an editorial published on Wednesday. As they pointed out, the so-called “manosphere” that fueled the MAGA movement

Trump launched with his 2016 presidential campaign is fracturing over the war in Iran and his longtime friendship with late convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

"Prominent figures linked to the space include Andrew Tate, Ben Shapiro and Nick Fuentes, many of whom are now at odds over issues such as U.S.-Israel ties and the Epstein files,” Money Control World Desk wrote.

Even President Trump has been drawn into the fierce feud, which threatens to even further dampen enthusiasm that the Republican leader desperately needs as his party approaches the treacherous 2026 midterm elections.

"The tensions escalated after Trump lashed out at both commentators,” Money Control World Desk reported. “'They have one thing in common, low IQs,' he said. 'They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too.'"

As war blooms, others in the movement are taking sides. Podcaster Joe Rogan described Trump’s ICE agents as engaged in “Gestapo tactics,” said he was disappointed in Trump’s evasive response to releasing Epstein’s files and opposes his war in Iran. Far-right commentator Alex Jones went from being one of Trump’s staunchest supporters to claiming he has betrayed his base with the Iran war and even questioning his mental fitness. Nick Fuentes, a far right commentator, proclaimed that “MAGA is dead,” and told the president: “Trump, you don’t have any young fans anymore.” Because of Trump’s recent comparison of himself with Jesus Christ and feuding with Pope Leo XIV, many Christian conservatives are even questioning whether Trump is the Antichrist.

Trump is equally controversial among his base on economic issues. "The White House promised a manufacturing renaissance,” wrote Fortune business editor Nick Lichtenberg on Tuesday. “Instead, the factory floor keeps shrinking."

In particular, Lichtnenberg pointed out that "the blue-collar job market has been slowing for more than a year, with jobs in manufacturing and construction racking up roughly 150,000 net losses on an annual basis as of March… During Trump's first year back in the White House, the manufacturing sector alone shed 108,000 jobs — even as the administration touted a coming 'manufacturing boom.'"

He concluded with irony that "the same working-class men the MAGA economy promised to rescue are sitting out a hiring boom in the fastest-growing sectors of the U.S. economy because those jobs are considered women's work. Meanwhile, the factories they're waiting to return to keep shedding workers."
