We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
The latest furore was sparked overnight, in response to Trump’s at-times combative interview with Fox News ally Laura Ingraham, in which the president suggested he knew what his base wanted more than they did.
The comment came after Ingraham asked Trump about an issue near and dear to MAGA’s heart: China and its growing presence in the U.S.
“Folks are not thrilled about this idea of hundreds of thousands of foreign students in the United States,” she told him.
“You’ve said as many as 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States. Why, sir, is that a pro-MAGA position when so many American kids want to go to school, and these places are not for them and these universities are getting rich off Chinese money?”
Trump replied by saying he wants to “get along with the world” and pointed out that the U.S. has “a massive system of colleges and universities.”
“He’s off this week like I’ve never seen him before,” said Doreen Mayo Ferris, who describes herself as a MAGA and MAHA former combat medic.
And another X user, @bbuckley88, observed: “Trump lost a chunk of his supporters with this interview & with today’s embrace of a Syrian terrorist. Seems like we lost the War on Terror & the War with China, all in one day.”
The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. But this week is not the first time Trump has been accused of neglecting his America First principles—or of angering his base.
