Longtime Donald Trump supporter Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist and anti-LGBTQ+ extremist, seems to have finally had enough of the man in the Oval Office.

The president’s attack on Iran enraged Jones. “This violates not just international law… this violates the constitution,” he said on a February 28 episode of his show Infowars. “Where is the war powers? This is not war declared… You’ve gotta have Congressional authorization… I’m for the rule of law. Either we have a consitution or we don’t.”

Then, on his March 4 episode, Jones blasted Trump for “starting to give in and bend and do things that aren’t what he said he would do, that aren’t America first.”

“Dude, I’m not MAGA, I’m 1776 worldwide, I’m a populist American. Make America Great Again? How about Make America Free Again,” he said, adding, “if I start seeing Trump sell out to whatever, I’m not going along with it.”

He said he isn’t ashamed of having supported Trump until now, comparing him to a broken lawnmower.

“I’m proud I supported Trump for 10 years and got persecuted… If Trump at the end starts going sideways, it’s like you got a lawnmower, you mow the yard with it for 10 years, and then one day the engine blows, and it’s cheaper just to get a new one than to replace the motor.”

“It’s like I’m not mad that I had the lawnmower and cut the grass and did all this, and now the lawnmower’s broken. Right now, black smoke’s coming out of the lawnmower, and it’s sputtering, and it’s on fire. So I think this lawnmower is probably done.”
