Alex Jones Publicly Breaks with Trump Over Demonic Forces Claim
Conspiracy theorist and Infowars founder Alex Jones has dramatically turned against President Donald Trump, claiming the commander-in-chief is under demonic influences and behaving like a super villain. This marks a significant fracture within the MAGA movement, as Jones was an early and vocal supporter of Trump, hosting him on his show back in 2015.
Jones Prays for Trump's Soul Amid Policy Rifts
In a recent video posted from his car, Jones expressed sorrow for Trump, stating, "I just feel sorry for him and pray that God touch his heart and soul and free him from the demonic influences that he’s under." He criticized Trump's aggressive rhetoric, particularly regarding Iran, where Trump threatened that Iran's "civilization will die tonight." Jones labeled this as genocidal, writing on social media that it was "NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR."
Epstein Files and Melania Trump's Stance Fuel Criticism
Jones also highlighted Trump's involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein case, noting that First Lady Melania Trump gave an unannounced press conference. During this, she advocated for Epstein's victims to testify before Congress and denied any personal connection to Epstein. Jones interpreted this as Melania breaking with Trump, suggesting she knows "the ship’s sinking."
Growing MAGA Rift and Calls for Presidential Removal
This is not Jones's first criticism of Trump. He has previously urged Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, citing mental unfitness. Other key MAGA figures, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson, have also distanced themselves from Trump over issues like the Epstein files release and foreign policy reversals. Democratic lawmakers have echoed Jones's calls for the 25th Amendment, urging Congress to reconvene for a vote.
Trump's Retort and Jones's Legal Troubles
In response, Trump attacked Jones on Truth Social, calling him "Bankrupt" and referencing Jones's nearly $1.5 billion defamation suit for falsely claiming the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Trump dismissed Jones's comments as among the "dumbest things" said.
The public fallout underscores deepening divisions within Trump's base, as influential supporters voice unprecedented dissent over his policies and conduct.
