Influential conservative calls on Trump to get back in line with America First principles that catapulted him to success in 2016.
America First stalwart Nick Fuentes on Thursday openly declared a “Groyper war” against Donald Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign, claiming the tough love strategy is intended to get Trump back on board with the policies that initially made him popular.
“I am declaring a new groyper war,” Fuentes said on his program Thursday, following a press conference by Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
“You have alienated us, you have ignored us, you don’t listen to our concerns. We have been left behind. The Trump movement and the GOP have moved on without us. It serves Israel and corporations and immigrants, but it doesn’t serve native Americans.”

“What about native Americans? What about Americans? What about young white men and others too? But what about us?” Fuentes asked, calling on followers to unleash a barrage of memes, commentary and trolling efforts to spread the message.
Fuentes later alerted his X audience, “Tonight I declared a new Groyper War against the Trump campaign.”
Tonight I declared a new Groyper War against the Trump campaign.
We support Trump, but his campaign has been hijacked by the same consultants, lobbyists, & donors that he defeated in 2016, and they’re blowing it.
Without serious changes we are headed for a catastrophic loss.

He went on to argue the Trump campaign has been unwittingly duped by saboteurs within the GOP into abandoning major platforms that once endeared him to supporters.
“We support Trump, but his campaign has been hijacked by the same consultants, lobbyists, & donors that he defeated in 2016, and they’re blowing it,” Fuentes wrote.
“Without serious changes we are headed for a catastrophic loss.”

Accused of attempting to hold the campaign to an unrealistic standard, Fuentes reiterated his intention was not to merely criticize Trump, but to get him back in line with the America First principles that catapulted him to success the first time around.
“This is NOT a purity spiral, this is about living up to the AMERICA FIRST credo put forth by Trump in 2016 which will ensure VICTORY in 2024,” Fuentes wrote in a follow-up.
On Friday, Fuentes highlighted some of the issues he’s seen with MAGA that could hurt its chances in November, including recent threats to bomb Iran, a pledge to hire neocon GOP traitor Nikki Haley, Trump’s selection of “Never-Trump, CIA-backed” JD Vance as VP, and more.
“What has MAGA become?” Fuentes asked.
The Trump campaign did not immediately issue a statement in response to Fuentes’ declaration; however, it remains to be seen if his points are acknowledged and whether appropriate adjustments will be made.
The internal turmoil within conservative ranks comes amid fake news reports the Trump campaign is “losing steam,” as the liberal media provides an extended honeymoon for their unelected candidate Kamala Harris, who has yet to face a reckoning over her radical far-left agenda.
