You've seen those stories.

This is not about an acute Trump meltdown.

This is kind of it's kind of a sad thing, actually, if you are still a MAGA.

What we are seeing right now is Trump gradually losing control of his own party.

And his own movement.

And you can see it in what Trump says.

You can see it in what Trump does.

But maybe the most important place that you see it is actually not in Trump, but it's in the people around him.

The clearest signal right now about the sun setting or maybe it's sundowning of Trump, the sun setting of Trump.

isn't coming from Democrats or liberals or anarchists or communists or socialists or LGBTQ.

It's coming from the MAGA base.

I could play dozens of clips here for you.

I don't need to.

I'm not going to do that because I want to focus on the analysis.

But I'm going to give you a couple of examples of this from the last month.

CPAC wasn't that long ago and CPAC attendees admitted

the Republican base is crumbling.

I and here is a CPAC attendee who said he believes that the MAGA movement and Republicans are going to get crushed, crushed in November.

That election, of course, coming up very soon.

That is a CPAC attendee.
