Trump sparked blowback from his base when his administration announced a rule tying FEMA funds to states' Israel stances.

MAGA's growing independence as a political force is an early warning to the GOP's next leader about the limits — and dangers — of inheriting a populist juggernaut. Why it matters: Even when President Trump is out of sync with MAGA — like on Jeffrey Epstein — he can still bring supporters to heel.

Conspiracy theorist and MAGA loyalist Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly warned that President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporter base may turn against him if he fails to follow through on his promises related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The requirement is the Trump administration's latest effort to use federal funding to promote its views on Israel.
