The MAGA world is on fire - open, visible, unmistakable. In the place where absolute allegiance ruled for years, loyalty is now breaking apart like a rotting orange tree. Trump is losing control over the people who once treated him like a political savior. And it is precisely in this loss of control that the extent of the collapse becomes clear.
Meanwhile, an explosive device detonates on a railway line in Poland, and Donald Tusk states openly who is behind it: Russian intelligence, which recruited two Ukrainians and then disappeared via Belarus. An attack on a NATO country - and Washington is silent. Trump says nothing. A void that even his most loyal supporters can no longer ignore. Silence when Putin attacks does not look like strength. It looks like capitulation. Many Republicans now stand openly against Trump’s blockade politics.

At the same time, a confrontation is breaking out within the Republican Party that can no longer be covered up. Laura Loomer, for years one of the loudest voices at Trump’s side, suddenly declares that her own party has a Nazi problem. Not whispered, but public, clear, without hesitation. Others agree. It is the first time that the warnings are no longer coming from the outside, but from the inner core of the movement.
Marjorie Taylor Greene reports at the same time that Trump repeatedly calls her a “traitor” - even though she fought for him for six years. She says she gave him loyalty without asking for anything in return. Now she is being publicly humiliated because she refused to remove her name from a petition.
Meanwhile, Trump insults a reporter who asks about the Epstein files: “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.” A sentence that is visible everywhere and shows how far this president has fallen.
Thomas Massie accuses the Speaker of the House of trying only to mask his own embarrassment because he must now vote for a bill that he had disparaged for four months. Mike Johnson tries to calm the chaos by claiming there are conversations in the Senate that would “cleanly resolve” everything. Everyone knows it is not true. The collapse can no longer be ignored.
Today, Massie directs his words straight at the senators who refuse to approve the release of the Epstein files. He says: “You are part of the coverup. And if one of your billionaire donors gets exposed because he was on that island where girls were abused, I do not feel sorry. Some of them belong in prison.”
On November 17, 2025, a large digital billboard from the activist group Home of the Brave appears in the middle of Times Square. It shows excerpts from Epstein’s emails - including the sentence “of course he knew about the girls”, clearly referring to Trump. We have our own photo of this sequence, which shows the installation and the wording clearly. The action is no accident. It is intended to create political pressure and push decision makers in Congress to release additional documents from the Epstein investigation. The billboard is real. The sentence is real. But it remains a statement by Epstein - not a verdict, not a completed proof. The installation is provocative, deliberately placed, a public disruption at a moment when Trump is already losing control.

At the center of this escalation is Laura Loomer, whose influence has grown enormously in recent months. She has managed to exert massive pressure on female journalists, officials, and political opponents through digital campaigns, targeted attacks, and public harassment. Some lost their positions, others were pursued publicly or personally threatened. Loomer thrives on denouncing opponents and turning it into political power. She is seen today as one of the most dangerous women in the United States because she turns pure rage into an instrument - and disinformation into a tool of intimidation.

Steve Bannon does not stand aside. He operates in the same zone. While Loomer provides the emotions, Bannon builds the structural framework that turns them into political energy. They act like two sides of the same machine: they attack, they apply pressure, they create a climate in which any contradiction is treated as disloyalty. Their influence extends far beyond Trump.

Loomer’s path began early. Raised in the manicured suburb of North Castle, she quickly found access to the mechanics of public attention. She left Mount Holyoke after a short time. In Miami she learned the craft of infiltration. Project Veritas became her first stage. Later she chained herself to Twitter’s office building after her account was banned for hate speech - a performance of self-victimization that earned her enormous reach in right-wing media.

Her direct access to Trump is particularly dangerous. She boasted about having gotten unwanted officials fired. Her dossiers caused turmoil in the National Security Council and other agencies. Trump called her a “patriot” just recently. But now it becomes clear that the influence of this supposed ally has become a risk - not for Loomer, but for him. The lies that kept the movement alive for years are returning like an echo: the story of alleged operations on children, the claim that Haitian migrants eat pets, the Pizzagate conspiracy that drove an armed man into a restaurant that did not even have a basement. All of these stories were meant to provoke anger and make minorities vulnerable. And now these same methods are turned against their own people.
On the stage of the Conservative Partnership Academy in Washington, at the podium with the golden inscription “The 2025 Bellator Awards”, the former chief strategist of Donald Trump stood before a room full of like-minded people and spoke a sentence that, in its honesty, reveals the whole truth about this movement. If they lose, they go to prison. Some of them, at least. Him included. (November 6, 2025)
As this chaos becomes visible in the United States, German media suddenly jump on a story claiming that the AfD supposedly wants to form an alliance with the Trump camp to tear down the “firewall” in Germany. The attempt is transparent. The AfD is nothing in the United States. No one there takes them seriously. Anyone who spreads or shares such reports unintentionally gives publicity to a party that has almost nothing left but scandals. It is unprofessional to give attention to this nonsense just to gain clicks.
But the conflict does not end where the public facade cracks. It reaches the deep fractures within their own ranks. Because alongside the escalation in Congress, Laura Loomer again becomes the center of criticism - this time not because of her attacks on Democrats, but because of her attacks on her own side. After the murder of Charlie Kirk, she hysterically demanded to “shut down, defund and prosecute” every left-wing organization. She declared the political left a “national security threat” and announced she would publicly expose anyone who criticized Kirk or commented on his death.
But the internet does not forget. Under her post, screenshots immediately appear of her own message from July 13, in which she calls Kirk a “charlatan”, a “political opportunist” who “stabs Trump in the back”. She writes that she never wants to hear again that Kirk is pro-Trump, and claims that his movement survived only thanks to Trump’s generosity. Now, only weeks later, she presents herself as his protector. The reactions are clear: “Better stay quiet.” - “Sit this one out.” - “You are not credible.” Some defend her, but the overall tone is unmistakable: the movement is devouring its own figures, the war is becoming more personal.
Thomas Massie: “He went after my late wife and my current wife… It is a new low for him. But we laughed it off. It hurts him more than me… But I think it was completely over the line.”
Trump had previously mocked Massie on his platform and written: “Has Thomas Massie, sometimes called ‘Rand Paul Jr.’ because he always votes against the Republican Party, gotten married again??? Boy, that was quick!” He added: “No wonder the polls have him at less than 8%. Well, Thomas, have a nice life and (?). His wife will soon realize she is stuck with a LOSER!”
Her handling of violence exposes the full hypocrisy. When the husband of Nancy Pelosi was attacked with a hammer in 2022, Loomer spread an invented story about an alleged meeting through a dating app. In reality, the attacker was a right-wing conspiracy believer who was searching for Nancy Pelosi. He received a life sentence. Loomer never apologized. In the end, an image remains that can no longer be painted over: a movement that has radicalized itself for years is now being torn apart by its own mechanics. Trump is losing control. His allies are losing their footing. And the figures who saw themselves as untouchable for years suddenly become targets of the rage they themselves unleashed.
The believers are falling. One by one.
