Monday

as Jesus images five years ago. She extolled the virtues of Trump so much on social media, that even her fellow MAGA friends were asking her to take it down a notch. There was no way I thought she'd ever change.

I was wrong. She is now officially anti-Trump. What did it for her was the war in Iran. I'm sure the tariffs, the Epstein files, price of gas and other things also played a part. She used to and maybe still does listen to Alex Jones and that also could have swayed her.

Her conversion suggests that Trump's hard core support is not as hard as he or we may think.
