For the past few months, some of the most influential figures in MAGA politics have been locked in bitter infighting. Everyone from right-wing creators and pundits with millions of followers to elected officials have circled the wagons. “How can you get more ‘America First’ than Manifest Destiny 2.0?” Steve Bannon, who hosts the show War Room, told NBC News earlier this month, responding to questions about the Trump administration’s abduction of Venezuela president Nicolás Maduro. The concept of “manifest destiny” took root in the early 19th century and encompassed the belief that the US was divinely preordained to expand its rule across the western half of the country. Many of the creators supporting Trump’s stance on Greenland have long operated as anti-interventionists, especially as it relates to US funding for Ukraine.
