Trump’s Wildly Unhinged New Ramblings on Fox News Unmask the True MAGA
As Trump unleashes a series of vile claims on Fox, the author of a new piece on MAGA explains how Trump is speaking directly to his movement's increasingly radicalized obsessions.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump did a long, bizarre Fox News interview, flatly declaring he had a “right” to interfere in the last presidential election. He also mused that “God” may have chosen Trump to fix our “sick” country,” and seethed about an “enemy within” that’s out to get him. It’s unhinged stuff that gets at a bigger story: Trump’s feeding of his MAGA audience’s various pathologies has been getting darker and uglier. We talked to writer Anne Lutz Fernandez—author of a good new piece at The Unpopulist website about MAGA—who helps us decode how Trump is communicating to the increasingly radicalized elements of the MAGA movement these days.
