Overview
- On Truth Social, the president proposed “TEPUBLICAN” or “TPUBLICAN” as a new term for a “TRUMP REPUBLICAN.”
- The suggestion spread quickly on social platforms, drawing both supportive posts and ridicule.
- Newsweek reports the move comes as MAGA-aligned conservatives argue over the Epstein files, foreign policy, the economy, student visas for Chinese nationals, and H‑1B policy.
- The outlet also cites Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation and reporting about prominent MAGA accounts operating from outside the United States as signs of strain.
- The article notes claims that the MAGA base has fractured and that the president’s approval rating has hit a new low, placing the pitch in the context of his long record of political nicknaming.
