Clear tensions have emerged among Donald Trump’s own supporters. According to USA Today, several former allies have started to criticize him publicly.
The criticism comes from conservative commentators and former officials. At the same time, the White House and Trump’s current supporters reject the criticism and highlight his energy and leadership.
Part of the disagreement concerns foreign policy, particularly military actions in Iran, which have created divisions among his supporters.
Concern among voters
The debate is not limited to politicians. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that 61 percent of Americans believe Trump’s behavior has become more unpredictable with age.

The poll also shows that fewer people now view him as mentally sharp compared to before. This applies to both independent voters and some Republicans.
Democrats have used the development to question his ability to serve as president, but proposals to examine his health have been rejected.
Focus on behavior
According to USA Today, it is especially Trump’s way of communicating that is drawing attention.
His statements about war and his activity on social media are being highlighted.

Experts assess that the criticism is unusual because it is now also coming from former supporters and not only from political opponents.
Criticism of Trump’s mental state is increasingly coming from within his own ranks, indicating a growing division within the MAGA movement.
