Now I am really worried about the King and Queen’s visit tomorrow.

Have just watched a Meidas Touch podcast on Facebook, showing Marjorie Taylor Greene giving a speech at the Ron Taylor (I think) Institute in Texas, saying that the Maga movement is dead and that Trump killed it.
Interesting.

Taylor Greene had a major falling out with Trump a while ago, went from being a Trump Babe to a hater overnight.

That’s one way to summarize it.

More accurately: Taylor-Greene witnessed Trump completely reverse his stance on transparency regarding Epstein once Trump was outed as one of the most mentioned names in the files. He then completely reversed his “America first”/ anti-war stance, which he also promised his base. When she rightfully pointed these things out, his vile comments about her encouraged his base to send endless death threats to her and her family. He made no effort to condemn them or encourage it to stop. MJT’s cessation of Trump support was neither overnight, nor does that make her a hater. It merely highlights that there is a part of her that is somewhat rational.

MJT was one of the few Republicans who called out the racist, violence-promoting, antisemetic, anti-woman texts by a group of young Republican males that was made public. JD Vance defended the despicable messages as “not an issue”. Trump said nothing, despite this being national news in the US, and yet he responds to every little slight by talk show hosts and comics. She woke up from the cult, but it was a slow journey.
