Mari Melburgh, our top story is how this war and the economic fallout is undercutting Trump's support specifically on the right.

You may recall all the way back in July 2025 when there were some influencers posting videos of how they were literally burning their MAGA hats.

It was quite the image you can see here.

It was stunning to some who are accustomed to the

talk about a president who has such a loyal maga base. But this, of course, was just a few people.

She also adds in the particular pain of former Trump backers who have found, often in public,

that there is no loyalty in return with him, no matter how loyally you serve him, even, for

example, as his vice president for the whole term, or in the rooms giving him national security
