The Coordinated 180 on Trump: From Supporters to Critics – Same Podcasts, Same Script?
Interesting pattern among several "independent" voices who were all-in for Trump in 2024:
Tucker Carlson: Campaigned for and endorsed Trump heavily. Post-election: Calls the administration's foreign policy moves (esp. Iran/Israel) a "total betrayal," says Trump "betrayed us," regrets supporting him, and claims supporters are "implicated." Now interviewing/appearing with the others.
Candace Owens: Vocal Trump supporter and campaigner in 2024, previously called him a tremendous president. Now: "Embarrassed" she told people to vote for him, calls him a "chronic disappointment," says "we got played," and blasts involvement in Middle East conflicts. Frequent cross-podcast appearances.
Megyn Kelly: Praised Trump's past Iran handling and voted for him with no initial regrets on key issues. Recently: "Sick of this s**t," criticizes family "grift," questions MAGA's size/loyalty, and slams rhetoric/threats around Iran as irresponsible.
Shawn Ryan: Hosted Trump, voted for him expecting no new wars/Epstein files. Now: Criticizes perceived self-dealing, ethics issues in the admin, and expresses regret ("I f*cking voted for this s**t"). Cross-pollinating with the above group.
Notice the timing, the shared focus on pinning past corruption on the current admin, and how they're boosting each other's platforms while echoing similar lines on foreign policy and "betrayal." Could be genuine evolution. Could be something more coordinated. Either way, the flip is stark and synchronized.
What do you all make of it? Genuine shift or something else?
Candace turned on Trump and promoted DeSantis.
Candace criticized Trump's support of the vaccine, but she also criticized DeSantis for his globalism. She was right on both counts.
Reality is more complicated than a football game with one issue and two sides.
