      This is more than usual. He got ratioed on one of his posts about this on his own platform - a first for him. The anger has also lasted longer than usual for the MAGA base. I suspect most will probably end up going back to him, but if even say 10-20% don’t that’s significant and weakens his grip within the Republican party. It opens the door to some degree of criticism of Trump within right wing media environments

      Can’t predict the future here, but this is unusual for MAGA so I wouldn’t write it off as nothing
