MS NOW Uses Cackling Carlson To Proclaim Political 'Obituary' for Trump, MAGA
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/28/2026 5:48:15 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

File this one under Politics Make Strange Bedfellows.

Saturday’s edition of The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW relied on Tucker Carlson to make the case that the Iran war spells the "end" of President Trump, and that the MAGA coalition is “over.”

A clip rolled of Sky News host Yalda Hakim asking Carlson: “Do you think this war is the beginning of the end of Donald Trump?”

Tucker Carlson: "Of course it's the end. Of course."

When Hakim asked where that leaves the future of the MAGA movement, Carlson, unleashing his trademark insane laugh, replied:

"The future of the MAGA? Well, that's over. There's no future of the MAGA movement, obviously. We're done."

MS NOW and its predecessor MSNBC, which have spent years demonizing Carlson, suddenly treated his words as authoritative proof that Trump and MAGA are collapsing.

Now that he is openly progressive it makes sense. Remember, he spent four or five years on MSNBC. He should have stayed there. People wouldn’t notice when he filled in for Rachel Madow.

...... I still have a facebook page to keep in touch and share stuff with family. I keep my feed to mostly Conservative/Christian topics ......

.....However, The past few days my feed has been absolutely inundated with massive amounts of heavily Anti-Trump/MAGA and Anti Christian/Morality Posts. There seems to be a massive concerted Anti Trump/MAGA/Christian Campaign effort happening right now on Social Media ... Probably because of the upcoming J4 Weekend ....

Trump has disappointed me at times (IVF, abortion pills), but when I see the array of bad guys teamed up against him, I am VERY slow to want to be part of that. Trump is a game-changer in a good way. He even prioritized things that needed doing that only now are making the difference felt (cutting funding to USAID).

He has over two years left to do Trumpy things, and that is the best we are going to get with the current make-up of the Congress, Courts, and permanent bureaucracy.

MAGA must outlive Trump, but Trump catalyzes MAGA.

The funny thing is more people saw him on MSNOW than on his podcast.

Well he’s right about MAGA being dead. The only demographic that still supports Trump are Fox News watching boomers.

I’m Generation Jones, have never watched an episode of Fox News, and support Trump as possibly the best president in a century, barring possibly Ronaldus Magnus, whose deficits include the amnesty problem and Sandra Day O’Conner. No president is deficit free sadly.
