Whilst prepping for this blog post on the Trump/Musk Bromance Breakup story – I noticed that The New NEO blog had a post up that prioritized “stupid and juvenile” as the main concern in this “love affair” being over – treating “destructive” as a secondary issue. However, I believe “destructive” should be the primary concern, especially for Trump, with “stupid and juvenile” as possible secondary considerations:
This whole thing is remarkably stupid and juvenile, perhaps even destructive.
Who will experience the most destruction from these exchanges? Will this cause Trump to loose the 2026 midterms? I think this hurts Trump the most in the short term. Almost made this a Trump Tally post, but the destructiveness is still escalating.
Betting Odds
Many had predicted that Trump and Musk’s rosy bromance wouldn’t last long, as some pointed to betting markets on when they would turn on each other.
Betters heavily favored a fallout before July 1, 2025, less than six months after Musk joined Trump’s administration as a special advisor.
Yes, gamblers gamble on everything – Will Trump publicly disparage Elon before July?:
2026 Midterms
As a No Party Affiliation (NPA) voter in Florida, I’m increasingly concerned about Trump’s prospects in the 2026 midterms. His handling of Ukraine’s war against Russia has already pushed me away from supporting him.
I’m also troubled by his delays in the nuclear talks with Iran. Could his legacy be that of the first American president to allow Iran to become a nuclear power?
Signs of his questionable character are resurfacing just four months into his term. For example, he took credit for appointing Justice Amy Coney Barrett when her rulings favored him but quickly blamed others for “bad advice” when she ruled against him.
Are other voters feeling the same way about Trump as I am?
Conclusion
The Democratic Party and their allies in mainstream media have serious flaws. Yet, they still manage to run candidates like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris against MAGA voters—many of whom seem afflicted with what I’d call Trump Cult Syndrome (TCS)—and walk away with a 50% win rate. The point is: both major parties are deeply problematic.
I follow several MAGA blogs, and honestly, their tone and behavior often mirror those of far-left progressive spaces. Many of these MAGA-TCS outlets reflect Trump’s own egotistical style, constantly shifting blame and refusing accountability when things go wrong.
Take Trump’s stance on government spending. He publicly criticized wasteful expenditures, yet promoted a so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” that was packed with pork and budget-busting programs. Apparently, budget increases are fine if Republicans are pushing them—but not if Democrats are.
Then there’s Trump’s public feud with Elon Musk. He’s not even five months into his new term and he’s already melting down in the spotlight. If this is the tone he’s setting now, it raises serious concerns about what things will look like by the 2026 midterms.
This isn’t just “stupid and juvenile” behavior—it’s the same “destructive” pattern Trump displayed during his first term in office.
