Donald Trump is living in a 'MAGA mirage' in Washington, buoyed by adoring core supporters after this week's Republican primary wins but out of step with the wider country, according to political analyst David Rothkopf, who argues the president is being misled by his own base.
The comments came after Trump, 79, used his Truth Social platform on Tuesday night to celebrate a clean sweep of his 2026 primary endorsements, including scandal-hit Texas attorney general Ken Paxton's victory over sitting senator John Cornyn.
