When Will MAGA Supporters Realize That Trump Has Been Lying to Them?

MAGA supporters obviously don't resent their fearless leader's lies to them, although Steve Bannon is angry with Trump's having embraced Elon Musk's support visas for tech workers, even though the Orange One had promised MAGA to put a stop to further immigration. Trump had also vowed to never touch Medicare, but recently he's said, "We might have to take a look at it [cuts to Medicare]." He had also promised no more "unnecessary" or "adventurist wars," yet he now wants to invade as many as four different countries. One of them that he says we might have to invade would be Mexico, in order to stop the fetanyl pipeline, even though records have shown that only one percent of the fetanyl in the U. S. comes from Mexico. The majority cones from other sources. Finally, he had earlier claimed that he would use against that country to raise extra revenue for the U. S., not, as he now claims as punishment for that government's alleged refusal and/or inability to stop the illegal drug trade. Will his MAGA groupies EVER wake up and realize that they have been duped by a conman?

If he said something, and says the opposite, he was telling the truth both times and how is that so hard for you libtards to understand?

They’re saying Columbia caved, Mexico caved, deportations. They’re thrilled. They won’t turn against him until it hits them personally. Even then, some will dig in.

More likely they won't for some time because unfortunately as we've seen all over the world, there's a growing anti-immigrant stance.

There were German civilians still all in on Hitler as they dug themselves out of the rubble of their former homes. Some killed themselves after he did.
