Far-Right Figure Nick Fuentes Declares 'MAGA Movement as the Biggest Scam in History'

Far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes has launched a vitriolic attack on former President Donald Trump, labeling him a "scam artist" and the "MAGA movement as the biggest scam in American history." The scathing remarks, shared in a tweet by Ron Smith, signify a dramatic escalation in criticism from a figure who once aligned with the former president.

Fuentes, a self-proclaimed white supremacist and Holocaust denier, is the founder of the "America First" movement and has cultivated a significant online following, known as Groypers. His past association with Trump included a widely condemned dinner at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022, which drew bipartisan criticism and forced Trump to distance himself, claiming he "knew nothing about" Fuentes. Despite this controversial history, Fuentes has increasingly voiced disillusionment with Trump, accusing him of not being sufficiently aligned with his extremist, nationalist agenda.

The latest public outburst appears to be directly triggered by Trump's recent comments concerning supporters interested in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Fuentes expressed profound anger at what he perceived as Trump insulting his loyal base. In a direct quote from the tweet, Fuentes stated, > "Fúck you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny..."

Fuentes continued his denunciation of the former president and his political movement. He asserted, > "This entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right... we will see Trump as a scam artist." This strong language follows a period of growing friction, including Fuentes' "Groyper War II" campaign launched in August 2024, aimed at pressure the Trump campaign to adopt more extreme positions on issues like immigration and Israel.

This public disavowal by a prominent figure on the far-right highlights the deepening rifts within the broader conservative and "America First" movements. Fuentes' explicit rejection of Trump and the MAGA agenda, coupled with his surprising acknowledgment that "the liberals were right," underscores a significant ideological fracture among some of the former president's most ardent, albeit controversial, supporters, signaling a potential realignment of extremist factions.
