Sunday Coffee with Ben…MAGA is COLLAPSING!!!
By Ben Meiselas
Good morning, Meidas Mighty.
Grab your coffee, tea, or whatever helps you ease into a Sunday. I’ve got mine right here, and I wanted to sit with you for a bit, talk about what we’re witnessing, and share some thoughts as this wild weekend comes to a close.
First, thank you to all of our paid subscribers who make our entire network possible. If you appreciate our work and can support it, please subscribe now. Your support truly sustains everything we do.
I’ve covered this movement for years. I’ve watched MAGA shrug off criminal indictments, embrace fascism, cheer abuses of power, and excuse the most vile behavior imaginable from Donald Trump. But I have never seen them like this.
This past week something broke inside the MAGA base, and the proof is everywhere. Some Trump supporters are literally declaring the MAGA movement dead. Others are posting videos burning their MAGA hats. Influencers who built entire online identities around Trump are suddenly calling him “repulsive.” Longtime supporters are walking away in disgust. The fracturing of MAGA is here.
It started with Trump’s disastrous interview with Laura Ingraham. Expecting a friendly platform, he instead detonated his own base. In one breath, he said he wanted to bring 600,000 Chinese students to American universities, something that had MAGA influencers melting down in real time. In the next breath, he raved about how much he loved H-1B visas because Americans don’t have the skills or talent for many jobs. MAGA was furious. You could feel them starting to unravel. This was when many of them began using the word “betrayal.”
Then came the latest Epstein files drama. The 20,000+ emails. The panic. The meltdown. Trump’s reaction didn’t calm his base. It terrified them. He couldn’t answer simple questions. He snapped “QUIET! QUIET!” at a reporter who dared to ask why the files shouldn’t be made public if he had nothing to hide. He started accusing Democrats of hoaxes no one believes. And then, unbelievably, he went after one of MAGA’s own. He excommunicated Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of MAGA’s most loyal soldiers, for simply calling for the Epstein Files to be released.
But the moment that truly snapped something inside the MAGA base was what came next. Trump posted one of the most vile, cruel things he’s posted in years, an attack on Congressman Thomas Massie regarding his late wife, who died of cancer. Even for Trump, it was beyond the pale. MAGA supporters who had cheered Trump’s cruelty when it was directed at others suddenly saw it turned back toward one of their own. And they snapped.
You could see it in their words, pouring out like a dam bursting.
“This man is insane. I voted for him, but he is too far gone. Attacking @mtgreenee who has been nothing but loyal to him, and now this… gross attack on @RepThomasMassie. He’s lost it.”
Another wrote, “I am no longer entertained by this man. I’m beginning to find him repulsive.”
And perhaps the most revealing of all:
“I stood in the cold at your rallies, I bought your merch, I donated, I took your side over family members… just to have you safeguard pedophiles and put Americans last?”
These people weren’t casual supporters. They were true believers. And they finally saw behind the curtain.
While all of this was happening, while his own supporters were burning their hats and publicly questioning the movement he built, Trump spent the weekend golfing with Lindsey Graham in Palm Beach and partying at Mar-a-Lago with billionaires. As always, he showed the base what we’ve been saying for years: he has no loyalty to anyone but himself and his rich friends.
Trump is cornered like a rat. Between the Epstein revelations, the internal MAGA civil war, his unhinged statements, and his ongoing public crack-ups, he’s lashing out in every direction. But for the first time, he’s doing it without the full protection of a unified base behind him. The spell is breaking. His supporters are finally fleeing. And with each day, more people are seeing exactly what we’ve been warning about since the beginning.
Our messages are breaking through. This community has been relentless, focused, and morally clear. We’ve exposed corruption. We’ve stayed on truth. We’ve never backed down. And it’s working. The tide is turning. The movement for democracy is growing. The Trump movement is collapsing under its own weight.
So take a moment this Sunday to breathe. Rest. Recharge. Enjoy your coffee or beverage of choice. But know that we are entering the most consequential stretch of this entire fight. Trump is weakened. His base is fractured. And the truth is catching up to him faster than ever.
Let’s stay united. Let’s stay focused. Let’s stay loud. And if you’re able to support our work and help us keep pushing, please consider subscribing today. Every subscription keeps this movement growing and this work alive.
I’m off to record my next report. I’ll see you soon. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for this!
The MAGA base isn’t fracturing because of policy, it’s fracturing because cruelty finally turned inward.
Their spell was built on retribution, not repair, and now his own loyalists see the cost. The collapse isn’t just political, it’s behavioral: once the illusion breaks, the movement eats itself.
The tide is turning…
No better headline for Sunday coffee than MAGA IS COLLAPSING. I lift a Diet Coke in tribute to my fellow passengers on the Freedom Train and Engineer Ben. Choo-choo! Choo-choo ch’boogie!
