Trump's 'bro culture' fans want nothing to do with him: 'It's really starting to add up'
Donald Trump’s war on Iran has all of the appearances of being the final straw for the so-called “bro” influencers who helped propel him to his 2024 election victory and now are increasingly turning on him, MS NOW reports.
That is according to the “Morning Joe” panel after watching a clip of massively popular podcaster Joe Rogan blasting the president for military adventurism and wondering why he is blowing up one of his central campaign promises.
As Rogan told his listeners, “It just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? He ran on no more wars, end these stupid, senseless wars and then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it,” he added.
According to MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough, Rogan’s turn against Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.
“You know, it's so interesting, Willie [Geist], Joe Rogan, the scales fall from his eyes,” Scarborough observed. “You got Andrew Schultz, who was sort of, you know, MAGA-curious or was he a MAGA supporter? Whatever he was, he's not anymore; like he's firing on all cylinders against [Jeffrey] Epstein, against Iran. A lot of these guys, you know, that were supposed to be the avatars of the bro culture. They're going, yeah, no.”
"It's really starting to add up,” Geist agreed. “I mean, Rogan, you start with criticism of the Trump administration on the Epstein files, then some pretty loud criticism on immigration policy, on ICE, on the actions ICE is taking and now on this war in Iran, saying none of this is the package that we saw in Donald Trump and voted for; this violates all of that.”
"So at some point, it's not a one-off. At some point, the whole thing isn't what you voted for,” he pointed out.
