MS NOW turned President Donald Trump’s fading support among some right-wing influencers into a primetime-ready supercut.
On Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace aired a montage contrasting past praise for Trump with more recent criticism from figures who once helped sell him to conservative audiences. The segment framed the clips as evidence of a growing break between Trump and parts of the media ecosystem that energized his 2024 support, especially among young men.
A Montage of MAGA Reversals
The segment highlighted growing divisions among conservative media figures.
“I do want to show you some of the contortions that Trump has forced some of his most rabid followers to make in their own words,” Wallace said before introducing the montage.
Alex Jones appeared after calling for Donald Trump's removal from office.
The reel opened with Alex Jones, first shown backing Trump in 2024, then calling last month for the “25th Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen” to remove him from office and “get control of our country.”

Candace Owens criticized her past support for Donald Trump in the compilation.
Candace Owens appeared next. A clip of her supporting Trump was followed by a more recent one in which she said, “I’m completely embarrassed that I supported Trump in the past because of, you know, the fact that he completely flipped on his entire base.”
UFC fighter Sean Strickland was first seen calling Trump “the f---ing man … actually a solid f---ing guy.” Later, he admitted: “When you’re at a Trump rally, you’re like, ‘Oh, I could definitely see how Hitler happened.’ Like, I’m not even, I’m not f---ing joking to you.”
Right-Wing Media Splits
The montage examined fractures within Donald Trump's media coalition.
Wallace said the supercut mattered because many of those voices helped bring disaffected young male voters into Trump’s coalition.
“This is sort of like staring at the sun,” she said, referencing Trump’s infamous 2017 eclipse moment. “It’s important to see how he brought along so many young disaffected men, and it was through a lot of those content creators ... and messengers.”
She added that there was no matching reel of former skeptics becoming more enthusiastic.
“They have all turned away from him,” Wallace said.
The fractures come amid anger on the right over the war in Iran and the release of the Epstein files. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene and outgoing Republican Rep. Thomas Massie have also been linked to discussions about a new America First movement.
