Trump’s Toughest Opponent Is His Own Base

Axios: “Forget resistance mounted by Democrats, moderate Republicans or even the courts. The most destabilizing opposition of Trump’s second term has come from within: an online MAGA army known for its extreme devotion.”

“After nearly two weeks of relentless discourse — fueled in large part by MAGA influencers — Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday night to seek the release of grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.”

“Though the move is a long shot to produce new evidence — and falls far short of the sweeping disclosures demanded by his base — it still marked a clear shift in posture.”
