After GOP election losses, the Trump White House doubled down on denial: no inflation, a “Golden Age” economy, and nothing to see in the Epstein files. This has alienated voters and eroded support among Trump's own base, and now his MAGA movement appears to be unraveling right in front of our eyes.
