Former Trump appointee: MAGA movement is 'dead'

Source: The Hill

03/17/26 2:57 PM ET


Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Trump administration appointee, proclaimed on Monday that the MAGA movement is “dead,” accusing the president of following Israel’s lead when it comes to foreign policy toward Iran. Boller told host Piers Morgan that she no longer “recognize[s] our president,” whom she called a “dear friend.”

“I think that a foreign country has occupied our government, and we are seeing now that this president of the United State of America is being influenced by a foreign government,” she said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” “And MAGA, let me tell you right now, MAGA is dead. It is deader than dead, and Americans are furious. We don’t recognize President Donald J. Trump anymore,” Boller added.

Boller was ousted from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after being accused of trying to “hijack” a hearing on antisemitism last month. She was appointed to the commission by President Trump in May of 2025.

Debate over the meaning of Trump’s “America First” policy has deepened since the U.S. and Israel launched joint military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, with some conservatives saying military intervention abroad departs from what they view as the movement’s core principles.

They were ALWAYS a bunch of walking dead zombies who were sold a bill of goods but didn't care. But you would still vote for him anyway.

Either it always was a lie or what you see is the real MAGA.

Dangerous either way.

In a D vs R election they will still vote red. No question. Trump is a lame duck, so someone unrelated will be just be selected to run.

If they continue that trend through to November, we have a real chance to win back the Congress.

Yes, TSF fawns over Netanyahu, but he gets a raging hard-on for Putin. That's who he is completely beholden to.

MAGA will twist itself into a pretzel and flip 180 degrees whenever Trump does. It’s a cult and Trump is its leader. Whatever he says, most of them will rationalize and follow.

There's a solid 1/5 of the population that's super-susceptible to the blood & soil bullshit at the core of "America First". It will be interesting to see how quickly they flock en masse to the next charlatan who promises to fulfill their stupid goal of establishing an autocratic xenophobic white Christian ethnostate.

Hmm, that's got a little rhythm to it. *hums silly tune*
"It waaas aaan
Autocratic
Xenophobic
White Christian ethnostate.
Autocratic

In North Americaaa..."
C'mon everybody! Get ready to sing the chorus around fire pits in our Great American Re-education Camps!

can get behind a newer, more hep branding.
They need something that sounds really catchy. It will still be the same old faces, the same old abusers, and the same old oligarchs pulling the strings, but with the flashy new packaging feelings will be as pure as the forgiven on their way to the rectory for donuts after mass. True, their newly cleansed souls will never vote for Trump again - they will research all candidates and as long as that candidate isn't a woman, POC, or Democrat. Those candidates aren't eligible for consideration. Yay! Feeling groovy. The Maga movement is finally over.
