In a rare moment of national unity, a colorful coalition of social media personalities (some real and some not real) – ranging from anti-Trump activists to conspiracy theorists, antisemitic commentators, and die-hard Tucker Carlson defenders – have come together for a single mission: trashing Donald Trump.
It’s a strange alliance but it’s not surprising. And I don’t think it’s any coincidence that all of these “disappointed” Trump fans are coming out NOW during a time when Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are getting raked over the coals for being anti-Israel.
Normally these groups spend most of their time fighting each other. But lately, they’ve found common ground online, particularly around two favorite topics: Jeffrey Epstein and criticism of Trump over his military operation with Israel against Iran.
Across X the past week, the commentary on social media reads like a digital potluck of grievances. Some accounts claim Trump hasn’t gone far enough on Epstein-related revelations and that the millions of documents released took way too long to make public. Others accuse him of being too friendly with and controlled by Israel. And a third group seems mostly upset that Trump dared to criticize or distance himself from former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “I’m done with MAGA!” many people I’ve never heard of are claiming.
Anyone else suffering from Trump Disappointment Syndrome?

The President has become tone deaf and has lost touch with his base https://t.co/G31WIidDZp [2]

We didn’t betray Trump.
Trump betrayed us.

From my observation, the frustration in the MAGA community right now is pretty simple:
Trump campaigned on no new wars.
Now suddenly the U.S. is at war with Iran – and many supporters see it as Israel’s war, not America’s.
That doesn’t feel “America First” to them.
And…

The posts are coming from every direction to generate an anti-Trump tsunami effect: elected Democrats, progressive Trump critics, libertarian commentators, conspiracy influencers, and accounts that regularly push antisemitic narratives. The ideological differences don’t seem to matter much when the goal is dunking on Trump.
Is Trump perfect? NO. Does he say things that he shouldn’t say? YES. Does he contradict his own cabinet? YES. Do I agree with everything he does? NO. But overall, am I disappointed in his performance during his second presidency? Not really.
Trump’s overarching goal has always been MAGA and “America First.” If some people still can’t connect those dots, that’s less a foreign policy problem and more a basic comprehension issue. The president (and the Pentagon) are working with intelligence and information the keyboard commandos on X will never see. So while the social media generals are busy drafting their hot takes, Trump and his America First team are the ones actually making the calls. And as Dan Bongino recently put it, leadership often means choosing between two shitty decisions. That’s the job – and sometimes the only real choice is figuring out which lousy option is the least bad for the country.
