Eric Spracklen, a prominent MAGA media operative, publicly broke with Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday 12 May, branding the former president's remarks on Iran and the US economy a 'disgusting betrayal' and warning fellow conservatives that 'the Trump era was fun while it lasted' but 'we're cooked.'
The news came after Trump, now 79 and en route to China for talks with President Xi Jinping, was pressed by a reporter outside the White House about whether Americans' worsening financial situations were influencing his negotiations to end the war in Iran.
