A report this morning from the Washington Post indicates that the Malignant Loser has a problem on his far-right flank from influencers like the racist anti-Semite Nick Fuentes. Their gripe is that the felonious con man isn't sticking with his Christofascist followers, and is trimming his positions to appeal to independent voters. From the article:
"Some of the internet’s most influential far-right figures are turning against former president Donald Trump’s campaign, threatening a digital 'war' against the Republican candidate’s aides and allies that could complicate the party’s calls for unity in the final weeks of the presidential race.
Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and podcaster who dined with Trump at his Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago in 2022, said on X that Trump’s campaign was 'blowing it' by not positioning itself more to the right and was 'headed for a catastrophic loss,' in a post that by Wednesday had been viewed 2.6 million times.
Laura Loomer, a far-right activist whom Trump last year called 'very special,' said his 'weak' surrogates had unraveled his momentum and that his approach 'needs to change FAST because we can’t talk about a stolen election for another 4 years,' in an X post that was 'liked' more than 8,000 times."

With Fuentes and Loomer you have two of the most disturbed and unhinged figures on the fascist right, but who know that they have influence over many of the Malignant Loser's cult members. The article notes that these two and other "influencers" are pushing him to adopt even more right-wing positions on race and immigration, as if the Malignant Loser's positions aren't already racist and reactionary enough. The article continues:
"As Trump’s campaign grapples with slumping performance in the polls, the far-right activists argue that it has failed by not adopting harder-right positions on race and immigration. They have also called for the campaign to fire its co-managers, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, blaming them for a lackluster strategy.
Many of the campaign’s hard-right critics said they still stand strongly behind Trump himself. But some of them have vowed to pummel the campaign online and at Trump rallies unless it changes course, presenting a challenge for campaign officials who have worked to publicly disavow or disregard extreme voices for fear they could alienate voters." (our emphasis)
We sincerely hope that the Malignant Loser listens to these fascist losers and goes all in on racism and authoritarianism during the remainder of his failing campaign. Maybe a return to his "ban abortions nationwide" stance would also please the loons.
