Trump is a Likudnik, not America First, and always was the former and never the latter. The Democrats were right that Trump was an agent of a foreign government; they just got the wrong government. Trump is an Israeli agent, not a Russian agent. 

Trump bombed eight countries last year (Colombia, Iraq, Iran, Mexico, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen), with Secretary of Warmongering Pete Hegseth committing war crimes in Yemen and Venezuela, before finally kidnapping the latter's leader. So you can deposit Trump's promises not to get into more "forever wars" and fight the military-industrial complex into the same bank account that you deposited your $5,000 DOGE check and the $2,000 tariff rebate. 

As a result of these and other broken promises, the MAGA coalition is enduring an ongoing major break-up as we say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. 

But it doesn't matter. There was only one day when the coalition mattered, and there is only one day when it ever matters. The con only has to work one day every two years, on election day. In between, people can "wake up," the establishment media industry can restructure and occasionally tell the truth, and it doesn't matter. Public opinion, unless there are massive revolts and a threat of a violent revolution, never matters except on election day.
