Comedian Tim Dillon, who helped boost MAGA-aligned podcasters before the 2024 election, now says the Iran war is the biggest political betrayal he has ever seen — bad news for Trump's standing with the influencers who got him elected.

• Dillon says Trump turned on the anti-war voters and podcasters who backed him, by starting a war with Iran.
• The war is being blamed for rising inflation and a weakening economy.
• Trump's team also indicted 94-year-old Raul Castro and is reportedly lining up a regime-change push against Cuba.
• Dillon says JD Vance has no real shot in 2028 because he is a Peter Thiel creation pretending to be anti-war.
• Trump has damaged the Republican brand for years to come, even Tucker Carlson would struggle to recover it.

Outlook: The MAGA influencer coalition that powered Trump's win is fracturing, and JD Vance is likely to inherit the same unpopularity Kamala Harris faced.
