In other words, Maga has come to resemble the man it’s built around. Donald Trump is erratic, mercurial and self-serving, and his supporters know that and have, historically, been pretty much fine with it. They believe he can manage America’s economy and upset all the right people, and they’ll put up with his baggage provided they feel like he’s delivering on that.
Maga supporters often decry the “uniparty”, accusing Democrats and Republicans of acting in concert with one another against the wishes of the American people – especially on foreign policy. This is at the core of Trump’s “America First” philosophy: the USA has had enough of being the world’s policeman, interfering in other countries’ wars, fixing (as they see it) other countries’ problems, and paying for their defence.

Trump is demonstrating why diplomacy is not usually conducted via social media without any kind of prep work or co-ordination behind the scenes.
Maga has kept the faith with Trump time and again, often when he was completely written off. But that doesn’t mean they always will. Trump has likely got away with his Iran venture, at least with his base – but he may yet have sown the seeds of his own political undoing.
