What timeline are we living in where MTG is actually starting to talk sensibly about some of the bull-puckey that Trump is pulling?
Don’t get me wrong - she still is not a good person, in fact she is downright despicable on many levels. But crap, she’s actually talking against Trump on two issues now.
But, honestly, I doubt her sincerity on the tariffs issue. It’s most likely that she’s concerned that the businesses that have been stuffing her pockets for years won’t stuff her pockets anymore.
I think that unlike some others in the maga leadership, she was a true believer. She believed in all the most dubious deep state conspiracy theories. She thought this movement was about purging deep state corruption, and replacing it with some more meritocratic system. A big old dose of racism in there but with her rationalizing it with convenient conspiracy theories.
Now she’s faced with more blatant objective evidence of conspiracies. So she gets turned a bit by the betrayal.
Over a long enough time span, I think MTG is doomed to always, eventually turn against whomever is ostensibly “in charge”. She’ll go for conspiracy theories and of course the people in charge are to blame.

She’s pivoting. The writing is on the wall for trump. She wants to be speaker of the house and run for potus in 28.
She knows two things well: 1: the Trump base and 2: that Trump ain’t lasting much longer.
More than two - Israel, Epstein files, ai regulation, healthcare and influencer transparency before this.
