Former Trump official: MAGA is 'deader than dead'

Appearing on Piers Morgan today, longtime Trump supporter and former administration appointee Carrie Prejean Boller had some harsh words for the president and his movement, declaring MAGA “deader than dead.” She arrived at this opinion, she explained, due to Trump’s willingness to follow Israel into war against Iran.

“I think that a foreign country has occupied our government, and we are seeing now that this president of the United States of America is being influenced by a foreign government,” she said. “And MAGA, let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead. It is deader than dead, and Americans are furious. We don’t recognize President Donald J. Trump anymore.”

Boller’s assertion comes in a moment when the MAGA movement appears more fractured than ever.

The war in Iran and Israel’s involvement has brought some stunning defections, including today’s resignation of the Trump-appointed counterterrorism official Joe Kent. Beyond that, Trump’s actions on Iran have drawn condemnation from the likes of Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, and even Vice President JD Vance has expressed skepticism.

Iran hasn’t been the only sticking point for MAGA infighting. Many have been dismayed by the administration’s handling of the Epstein Files, which pushed longtime Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign from Congress. She is now a vocal opponent to the war, telling CNN, “The American people did not vote for this. I went to, I can’t even tell you, countless rallies all over the country for President Trump, campaigning for him and Republicans because we wanted to win, and we said on every single rally stage, ‘No more foreign wars, no more regime change’.”

Others who became drawn into the MAGA movement via its MAHA counterpart have been disappointed by the administration’s embrace of herbicides, while younger MAGA voters have been turned off by the increasingly “cringe” behavior of its leadership, from the overelaborate plastic surgery of “Mar-a-Lago face,” to using SpongeBob Squarepants clips to promote the war with Iran, to the alternative Superbowl halftime show featuring a lip-syncing Kid Rock.

Criticism from Boller and other disappointed MAGA figures comes as Trump’s poll numbers continue to trend downward. Currently he holds net positive approval in only a handful of states, and he’s far underwater even in many that elected him by large pluralities, suggesting that his diminishing popularity is eating into what was presumed to be his most loyal base. And his blatantly unpopular war is not helping his numbers.

“I talk to MAGA people all day long, every day,” said Boller. “And the everyday, average American is absolutely against this war.”
