Resist Hate shared this video last year after it appeared on social media and immediately went viral. At the time, I remember feeling hopeful that something like MAGA Ballroom 2028 could come to pass.
Not the attack on the White House ballroom, but the idea that MAGA could see the truth: Donald Trump does not care about working-class Americans. He leaned into their anger at the “status quo” in Washington, D.C., using them to get into the White House in 2016.
MAGA Ballroom 2028
The manipulation of his supporters was more egregious in 2024, but by tapping voters’ anger over the economy and the lack of border security, he was able to regain power.
Now that he’s in the White House for a second, and final term, he no longer needs their votes. Pay attention to how his behavior changes.
He seems completely unconcerned about rapidly sinking approval numbers. He hasn’t done anything to lower prices. In fact, he’s done the opposite—he raised prices with his trade and tariff policy, and he turned into a “war monger” who constantly thinks about bombing or “taking” sovereign countries.
An overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of our involvement in the Iran war.
Most of his supporters are likely unaware of the many countries Trump has bombed. The corporate media barely mentioned his military activities overseas.
He doesn’t seem to care that a growing number of his own base are against the Iran war. He told the press how he expected the rising oil and gas prices “to be much worse” and how it’s “not that bad.”
The President has been recycling talking points from his first term during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s going to disappear soon.” “It’s pretty much over.” “It’s not that bad.” “Fake news.”
Just the other day, he said the government “can’t pay for” daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare because all of America’s taxpayer dollars should be used for “national security,” to fund the Pentagon (after increasing its budget to $1.5 trillion in 2027).
