'Vultures circling': Ex-Republican says MAGA knows something is 'badly wrong'

Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson is warning that a desperate Donald Trump has turned to the "Roy Cohn Distraction Playbook" — named for Trump's ethically-challenged mentor — to cover for the serious schism roiling within the MAGA movement.

Wilson claimed that Trump's chief-of-staff Susie Wiles fired "the Fort Sumter shot of the MAGA civil war" by pushing DOGE head Elon Musk out of the White House last week. Musk reportedly wanted to stay on past his 130 days as a "special government employee," but Wiles had had enough.
