On Tuesday, longtime MAGA pundit Alex Jones had some hard words for supporters of President Donald Trump: “He’s gone, and that’s it.” While Jones has been an avid Trump backer since his first campaign for office, he now says that the president’s health, polls, and actions in Iran make him unfit for leadership.
Following news that Trump’s approval rating has sunk to a career low, Jones asserted that the numbers don’t bode well for MAGA’s upcoming electoral chances, saying, “Trump is in freefall, and that means we’re in freefall in the midterms.”
According to Jones, Trump’s health is a major issue. The president’s massively swollen ankles, Jones said, are a sign of “heart failure. And he does look sick. And he does babble and sound like the brain’s not doing too hot.”
These health problems, guessed Jones, may be contributing to Trump’s erratic decision-making in regard to the war in Iran, which in turn reflects poorly on the wider MAGA movement.
“We have to say too bad. Trump’s run off the edge of a cliff, and I don’t think he’s coming back from it,” said Jones. “Triage him, isolate him, and explain that we’re not him and we’re morally against this blowing up of Iranian water supplies he’s talking about. War crime any way you cut it. Put pressure on him not to do that, and just continue on the moral, proper way to behave.”
Jones has expressed displeasure with the war previously, pointing out in early March how it conflicted with the messaging that landed Trump a second term.
"This is supposed to be America First," Jones said at the time. "We’re not supposed to be running around doing this anymore.”
What’s more, Jones suggested he’s not the only Trump ally to notice a problem, saying, “You can see Hegseth and the press secretary freaking out. They’re just being loyal. They think it’s the lesser of two evils, ok, but Trump needs an intervention. He needs to take some time off.”
Jones’s advice to his fellow MAGAs is simple: it’s time to move on.
“We cut bait on Trump and we mobilize against the democrats,” said Jones. “Trump is just a minor figure.”
