POL Marjorie Taylor Greene Launches America First Movement Against Trump on Foreign Wars

America is rotting and the two parties keep looking the other way.

Joe Kent told Piers Morgan that a new political coalition, with Tucker involved, is already building.

He says a lot of people have simply given up on both sides.

When asked if it could become an actual new party, Kent didn’t hesitate:

“Certainly could.”

They’re not merely thinking about the next election, but planning something bigger.

A shift is coming.

Glenn Beck: “Donald Trump is changing the New World Order entirely and it won't be fully understood for probably another five to ten years.”

"He's completely redesigned the entire world.

He has made a bigger impact than any other president, maybe since Lincoln.

He becomes one of the most impactful presidents of all time, if it works.

That jury is still out, but if it works, he changes the entire course of the world."

@glennbeck explains how this is happening and WHY people refuse to see it.

Pretty sure most of those folks are too stupid to see it. They want it all "NOW"! Kind of funny and sad to see it at the same time!
 
For the neocons in the audience; The Republican party is fractured. If you guys truly care about your party, conservatism and the future on your country, you would recognize the fracture, the reasons for the fracture and find a path towards unity. Instead you continue to ostracize and exercise pretension, loosing the rest of you're party along the way. Neoconservatism failed 20 years ago, it's failing now. Try something else for once, all this effort has gotten you is a 3rd party opponent that you are unable to gaslight.

Or those that are unhappy about one or two things can accept that we can hammer those out after defeating the democrats, instead of turning on everyone.

I will not pander to a group. I certainly will not pander to a group made up of those in the OP just because they are an "alternative" or are spiking in popularity for whatever reason. They failed to prove themselves the first time (or several) they had power/influence. They are biting the hand that fed them or that they rode the coattails of. For me, it isn't really a matter of "Trumpism". It is their personal histories and backgrounds.

For instance, Tucker Carlson has lied multiple times. Then he pivoted. Then he pivoted again. And he is pivoting once more. He does one thing then claims people misunderstand him and tries to redefine himself. Look at what he was/is doing with his newfound religiosity. If this group above is looking to use Carlson as a mouthpiece, what does that say about the group as a whole? It says they are willing to lay down with dogs, but they forget when you do that you wake up with fleas.

This thread and other posts in other threads shows the deep divide in the Republican party. I see it as a reflection of the Republican party as a whole all across the country. I can't believe that most folks can't see it. I haven't left the Republican party or Trump. The Republican party and Trump have left me.

In the current two party system sure. the thing that is different this time is that both parties are in disarray. Both parties are experiencing a hijack, the commies are making a move on the dem side, and the neocons are attempting control over the GOP. Neoconservatism is not the belief system of the average conservative Republican. It's possible we see 3rd parties on both sides in 2028

Walking away isn't how I would describe it. Attempting to be pushed out is more of what I have observed. This forum has tons of examples of dissent being met with ridicule, disdain and pure contempt, instead of attempting a productive discussion on where we can find common ground. Hell this thread has some of it and not one overture to see if we can heal this fracture.

A few RINOS and then the sore losers in the OP, will never gain any traction against the overall party. Don't get distracted with the few Agent Provocateurs that post in these threads. They are just trying to be the disruptors.

We are at war with Iran.

Is the plan to flee in a rout like Biden did in Afghanistan?

Or do they have a plan to win.

That group has no plan to win anything other than an election and the checkbook that goes with it

Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Among Republican Pollsters​

The latest poll from McLaughlin & Associates, affiliated with Trump, showed that 36 percent of Americans approve of both Trump and his policies, while 13 percent said they approved of only his policies. In that poll, 47 percent of respondents said they did not approve of Trump.

That marks a shift from last August, when 38 percent of respondents said they approved of Trump and his policies and 14 percent approved of just his policies; 45 percent said they disapproved of Trump at the time.

McLaughlin & Associates' latest poll surveyed 1,000 general election voters from July 15-21.

Rasmussen Reports, another pollster viewed as being more Republican, showed Trump underwater. In its daily tracking poll for Monday, 44 percent of likely U.S. voters said they approved of Trump’s job performance, compared to 55 percent who disapproved.

Twenty-five percent said they strongly approved of Trump’s job performance, while 46 percent strongly disapproved, according to the poll. It was conducted among 1,500 likely voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

A recent Cygnal poll did not track Trump’s approval in terms of job performance but instead his personal favorability. It found that 56.1 percent of Americans viewed Trump favorably, compared to 41.9 percent who viewed him unfavorably. It surveyed 1,500 respondents from June 30-July 1 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.53 percentage points.

A poll from J.L. Partners and The Daily Mail showed that 56 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump, compared to 44 percent who approved of him. It surveyed 1,000 registered voters from July 17-20.

How Does That Compare to Independent Polls?​

Several major pollsters released surveys last month showing that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low, raising red flags about his standing among independent voters and even parts of his base.

A Quinnipiac University poll showed Trump’s approval at 32 percent—its lowest point from either of his terms. It surveyed 963 registered voters from July 23-27.

A CNN poll also found a record low in Trump approval at 34 percent. It surveyed 1,225 respondents, also from July 23-27. An AP-NORC poll, which surveyed 1,165 adults on the same days, showed his approval at 33 percent, tied with April for the lowest ever.

What Is Behind Falling Trump Poll Numbers?​

The economy is viewed as a major issue for Trump; Americans often vote based on who they believe will improve their material economic conditions, and polls regularly show economic issues as the top concern for voters.

Trump campaigned on tackling affordability and inflation, issues emerging in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic—and his focus on economic issues helped propel his return to the White House. But as the midterms approach, inflation has remained elevated, and voters have shown they are increasingly frustrated over Trump’s approach to the economy.

In the Quinnipiac poll, just 34 percent said they approved of Trump on the economy, down from 42 percent in January.

The Iran war is also unpopular with voters, with only 34 percent of respondents in the Quinnipiac poll saying they support the “U.S. military action against Iran,” down from 40 percent in March.

Gas prices have also increased amid the war because of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a major passageway for the global oil supply, that has faced closures amid the conflict that began at the end of February. Costs topping $4 per gallon have caused pain at the pump for consumers and a major polling headache for Trump.

Could Trump's Approval Rebound Before He Leaves Office?​

Presidents often see their approval rating reach its lowest point in their sixth year, David Stebenne, professor of history and law at Ohio State University, recently told Newsweek. That rings true for Trump, even though he has a “discontinuous” two-term tenure, he said.

If 2026 is the worst year of the economy during Trump’s presidency, his approval could tick up in 2027 or 2028, he said.

“If it gets better, and I'm not saying it will, but in the last two years, that is an approval rating that would likely rise,” Stebenne said.

Matthew Dallek, professor of political management at The George Washington University, previously told Newsweek it is “certainly possible” that Trump’s approval could rebound but that “a lot of things would have to fall into place.”

“The Iran war would have to wind down. Prices would have to get more under control and the economy would need to continue to expand,” he said. “The job market, especially, would need to continue to grow. And you in theory have fewer ICE killings of U.S. citizens and immigrants.”

It’s possible Trump’s approval could reenter the low 40s, but Americans are simply “getting tired of him”—Dallek said—so it would still be “tough" to make a significant rebound.

The MAGA Media Machine Is Fracturing​

Once united in support of President Trump, right-wing influencers are embroiled in feuds and losing viewers, creating a problem for Republicans in the midterm elections.

Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster, was racking up tens of millions of views on YouTube during Donald J. Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign, posting about divisive cultural issues and criticizing Democrats.

Things have changed.

Views for Mr. Johnson’s YouTube channel are down by millions from the heights of 2024. The surge of attention he received on X has slowed to a trickle. His loyalty to Mr. Trump has become unappealing to some Republicans who are frustrated with the rising cost of living and the president’s decision to start a war with Iran.

Other high-profile right-wing influencers are contending with similar shifts of fortune. Dan Bongino, a podcaster and a former deputy director of the F.B.I., has seen his livestream views shrink by about half from their peak in 2024. Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News host, has found moments of explosive growth, yet that attention has been hard to sustain.

The shifts add to a growing body of evidence that suggests the audience for pro-Trump content has fallen from its heights and, for some creators, has reached new lows. Views are dropping for many of Mr. Trump’s greatest allies, while some figures on the right who have taken to criticizing Mr. Trump are showing uneven gains.

The shifts threaten to complicate messaging this year for Republican candidates, who have for years relied on a united front of content creators to rile up Republicans and guide them to the polls each election cycle.

“The vote is in November, but the heart of the midterms is happening now,” said Ryan Broderick, the founder of Garbage Day, a newsletter about online culture and influence. “A lot of the propaganda that they’re pushing out just isn’t really connecting the way it would have even three or four years ago,” he added.

To assess the shifting power of the online influencers, The New York Times analyzed several years worth of audience data across podcasts, YouTube, X and Rumble, the right-wing video website, for a dozen political content creators: Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bongino, Ms. Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Steven Crowder, Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Stephen K. Bannon, Nicholas Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool and Charlie Kirk, whose accounts were taken over by other staff at Turning Point USA, the company he founded, after his assassination last September

Only a few saw their audiences grow since Mr. Trump’s inauguration, while many more have seen their viewerships decline. Some creators, like Ms. Owens drew new audiences by posting about a broader range of topics.

Experts point to a number of reasons for the changes, including the difficulty in stoking political outrage while Republicans control Washington, along with a quieter midterm season. All content creators are also subject to the whims of algorithms, like on X, which can change without explanation and impact their reach.

A fresh generation of influencers, such as Clavicular and the YouTube creator Asmongold, have also siphoned away viewers by speaking about politics alongside other topics like gaming and relationships.
Mr. Fuentes, for instance, saw notable gains in 2025 and early 2026 but is now trending down. “It seems that everyone in the space is experiencing a drop-off in views from 2025,” Mr. Fuentes wrote in an email. “Seems as though 2025 was the anomaly either due to organic interest or potentially artificial boosting,” he added.

The Times reached out to all 12 creators for comment. Many pointed to their successes on individual platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, despite declining engagement on YouTube and X.

A representative for Mr. Crowder said his total monthly views on Rumble had increased by about 10 million since January 2024. Ms. Owens said that maternity leave and vacations had caused her YouTube views to dip recently and pointed to data from Podscribe, an analytics company that estimates audience size across platforms, that showed softer audience declines since Mr. Kirk’s death. A representative for Mr. Walsh and Mr. Shapiro said they were seeing gains on TikTok and Instagram, and on a spinoff series on Mr. Walsh’s YouTube channel. Mr. Bannon said in an interview that his show focused on video broadcasting on Real America’s Voice, a conservative news channel.

Mr. Johnson said in an interview after this article was published that all political creators saw view counts surge during the 2024 presidential election, so a decline since then was not unexpected. He said that his accounts on YouTube and X still earn millions of views, and that his internal YouTube metrics suggest he’s on track to reach the same number views this year as he achieved last year.

The remaining creators did not respond to requests for comment.
One shift occurred after Mr. Kirk’s assassination when a rift between right-wing creators erupted, seeming to fracture their audiences. Some creators, like Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Johnson, posted memorials for Mr. Kirk and analyses of the accused shooter. Ms. Owens went in a different direction, launching fresh conspiracy theories about who had killed Mr. Kirk, with videos like “Who Ordered the Hit on Charlie Kirk?”
Ms. Owens saw her YouTube and podcast audience surge amid the controversy. She has stoked other conspiracy theories before and since, including falsehoods about the sex of Brigitte Macron, the wife of the French president, and has expanded her reach beyond Mr. Trump’s base, experts said. Ms. Macron sued Ms. Owens for defamation last year and the case is continuing.

“It might be a conspiracy to some people, but it’s not to me,” Ms. Owens said in an interview. “I think I do a very good job being thorough in what I present to people. We spend a lot of time on research, hours and hours and hours on research. So I would disagree with that assessment.”

A rift between pro-Trump and anti-Trump creators on the right deepened after Mr. Trump started the war with Iran.

Mr. Shapiro has been supportive of the president and the war. He lost about 60,000 subscribers on YouTube from April to June this year, according to data from Chaotic Era, a newsletter about online influence. Mr. Shapiro’s YouTube views have also declined to their lowest in years, dropping to about four million per week from 27 million in 2024. The publication he owns, The Daily Wire, has also seen traffic plummet by half since last year, according to The Righting.
Views for mainstream news websites are also down, the group found. But many right-wing websites have seen larger declines, including The Blaze and The Federalist.

Mr. Shapiro’s podcast has shown more resilience, partly because he has published 50 percent more content on his podcast this year compared with last year, causing total downloads to climb, according to Podchaser, an analytics company that collects and analyzes data about podcasts.

“Obviously Ben Shapiro still has one of the largest megaphones in conservative media, and his podcast is still doing fine, but that is an undeniable shift for him,” said Kyle Tharp, who writes Chaotic Era. “I think there’s a lot of increased competition on both the right and left in the partisan media space,” he added.

On Rumble, the pro-Trump and anti-Trump rivalry is playing out between Mr. Bongino, a Trump ally and former administration official, and Mr. Fuentes, a former Trump supporter who has become deeply critical of the president.

Mr. Bongino, who was a Secret Service agent before turning to broadcasting, left his post as a livestreamer at Rumble last year, at the height of his popularity, to serve as deputy director of the F.B.I. He resigned just months later.

Mr. Bongino returned to his old job of podcasting and livestreaming in February, but his audience did not seem to follow: After an initial bump from his first few episodes, his audience settled to roughly half of what it was during the highs of the 2024 presidential campaign. He rejoined YouTube after posting exclusively on Rumble for years, and while his viewership on YouTube is climbing, it remains among the lowest of creators’ numbers analyzed by The Times.

Mr. Fuentes, a white nationalist and livestreamer who publishes exclusively to Rumble, has been more vocally critical of the president during his second term. He saw his average weekly views climb to as high as eight million views per week, from around one million in 2024.

The success of disaffected Trump supporters like Mr. Fuentes and Ms. Owens suggests they will play a larger role in the future of right-wing content online, said Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters for America, a left-leaning media watchdog.

Ms. Owens, in particular, is “moving from being a more typical right-wing commentary media personality” to creating more investigative narratives, Mr. Carusone said.

“She can create a story line and then push it,” he added. “And that, I think, is a sign of power.”
