Alex Jones is 'horrified' by Trump's 'big mistakes'

As President Donald Trump watches his approval ratings plummet amidst an unpopular war and failing economy, he’s not just losing fair-weather swing voters, but some of his most dedicated backers.

“I’ve been loyal to Trump since the very start, even before he announced his candidacy,” said far-right pundit Alex Jones on Wednesday. “I am sick to my stomach and horrified at the change in Trump. Just wounded, sad, and upset.”

Different ex-Trump supporters have different reasons for turning away from the president, and for Jones, it involved disappointment over failed campaign promises, the war, and the mishandling of the Epstein files.

“Trump is moving away from his main mission,” said Jones. “On the current trajectory, he’ll be Barack Obama in a few months if he continues to slide in policy, turning him into a globalist democrat. We’re pretty horrified around here.”

According to Jones, the consequences of Trump’s war on Iran have been too abundant to ignore, from skyrocketing gas and fertilizer prices to the possibility that flights will be canceled due to a lack of jet fuel. And now talk of expanding the conflict in Iran to include ground combat is a bridge too far.

“We need a repudiation of boots on the ground,” Jones insisted. “They’re pushing it everywhere, Fox, you name it. You do not want a ground war in Iran.”

Jones went on to explain that he’s tired of being told “that being loyal to Trump and loyal to MAGA and being a good American means supporting whatever the neocons want, and ground war with the Iranians, and that nightmare. No, that’s not what we voted for, and they want us to sit down and shut up, or they’ll attack you and call you a traitor.”

The Epstein situation has caused similar frustration. Earlier this year when it emerged that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had strong ties to the infamous sex trafficker, according to Jones, Trump should have removed him from office. But instead, Lutnick “lied and Trump defended him.”

Jones’s break with Trump comes at a moment when the president is losing support from every bloc, including voters over 65 and white, uneducated males — two of his most loyal followings. Trump has also been grappling with waning support among once-devoted far-right influencers like Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens, all of whom have been disappointed by the war on Iran and the Epstein scandals.

“Whether it’s mental exhaustion or who’s around him or whatever it is,” said Jones, “he's making more and more big mistakes.”
