Cult of the Red (Tiny) Hats: MAGA True Believers Go Down Like The Curtains At The Impeachment Theater

There's a man in the closing sketch of my latest Walk ‘n Talk who might be the saddest case study in American politics. His whole life, his whole identity, was Trump. Twenty-four hours a day for ten years. He was told to trust the plan. When Apples asked him what exactly the plan was, he said… and this is the punchline that isn't a punchline… “I don't know. That was part of the plan.” And his wife left him, because he kept calling her Melania.

It's funny until you realize it isn't. This guy is a joke, but he's also a mirror. What do you do when you've invested a decade of your ego into a con man who's already moving on to his next rug pull? You go down with the ship. That's not a political strategy. That's cult psychology, and I've been studying it long enough to know it never ends well for the guy still wearing the hat.

And right now, the believers are very, very confused.

Look at the foreign aid shell game. A few days ago, Trump announced he was “ending” the $3.8 billion in annual aid to Israel. The maggatards didn't say much about it, because it must have been confusing to them. Where's the celebration? Where's the “he's finally standing up to the deep state” parade? Well, hold that thought, because a couple of days later, on November 3, it came out that the current memorandum of understanding runs until 2028, and Israel is now in confirmed talks on a successor: $3.3 billion a year for five years post-2028, then a “phase out” with possible higher missile defense funding. They ended the aid by replacing it with more aid. The magic 33, of course.

And before anyone says “well, at least he reduced it from 3.8 to 3.3″… the total amount is more than ten times higher than that. US aid to Israel since Trump took office is nearly $58 billion. $8.7 billion in March 2025 supplemental appropriations. $4 billion for “anti-tunneling,” whatever that means. $5.6 billion in NDAA supplemental aid. And the lifetime total, adjusted for inflation, is close to $472 billion sent to the tiny terror enclave since basically the beginning. The $3.8 billion headline tells only a fraction of the story.

Then there's the $3 billion jump in net worth, which 60 Minutes actually asked Trump about. Where did it come from? Mostly from rug pulling a Solana meme coin… getting his maggatards to buy it, then selling billions of coins onto them and wiping most of them out almost completely. His answer? “Everyone made $3 billion in the last couple of years.” You know, as long as they had s
