Pam Bondi tantrum reveals 'cracks beginning to show' in MAGA faithful: Nobel Prize winner

Pam Bondi's hearing appearance has made cracks in the MAGA faithful, with once dedicated members of the voter group now turning, a Nobel Prize winner claimed.

Paul Krugman believes the Attorney General is now under considerable pressure from Donald Trump's core voter base. Yesterday, MAGA influencers like Tim Pool and white supremacist Nick Fuentes called for Bondi to be removed from her position, which she has held since February last year.

This infighting could be a sign of real cracks in the MAGA following, with award-winning economist Krugman suggesting Bondi is highlighting weaknesses in the Trump faithful.

He wrote in his Substack, "There was an unmistakable stench of desperation in Bondi’s tantrum. And it fooled no one. The cracks are showing, as some congressional Republicans have now voted against Trump’s tariffs, Justice Department lawyers are quitting en masse or just plain cracking up, and attempts to weaponize prosecutions keep failing.

"MAGA types constantly bash Joe Biden while deifying Trump. Yet it took only a year for Americans outside the Republican base to decide that Biden was actually a better president.

"So while people inside the MAGA bubble keep insisting that Trump is a great president, the greatest president ever, presidenting like nobody has ever seen before, their cheerleading reeks of desperation. The MAGA implosion is gathering force. Americans are mad as hell, and they won’t be gaslit anymore."

Trump admin policy could also be a concern for the government, with Krugman saying one act in particular will lead to long-term problems and the deaths of thousands.

The economist suggested the admin's tough stance on immigration means job roles in advanced fields may not be filled as quickly. He wrote, "Which brings me back to the stunning stagnation of job growth that has already taken place on Trump’s watch.

"Trump’s minions would have you believe that near-zero job growth is fine because immigration has plunged — even though they assured us that this wouldn’t happen.

"But the reality is that the war on immigrants, in addition to being a moral and civil liberties nightmare, will make native-born Americans poorer — and send thousands of us to an early grave."
