Trump 'embodies a mess' for MAGA future as US driven 'towards the abyss': analysis

The actions of Donald Trump during his second term in office will have major, long-term consequences for MAGA voters, a political analyst has claimed.

Though the president may be an important figurehead for the movement, The Guardian columnist Rafael Behr believes the political base will recede rapidly once Trump has left office. This is not just because Trump is the image the MAGA movement are keen to prop up, but because his toxic actions in office will have a lasting effect on the voter base.
