Backlash from MAHA influencers and right-leaning podcasters over glyphosate is loud, but they still stop short of breaking with Trump

Despite calling the policy an “F-you to the MAHA movement,” influencers are maintaining alignment with Trump and RFK Jr.

Backlash from “Make America Healthy Again” influencers and right-leaning podcasters over the Trump administration’s February 18 executive order boosting domestic glyphosate production — the herbicide used in Roundup and widely identified by scientists as a carcinogen — has been loud and, at times, profane. But even when the policy is described as a betrayal, criticism is rarely directed at President Donald Trump or Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., instead being redirected in ways that preserve alignment with the administration.

During the March 23 episode of *The Shawn Ryan Show*, right-leaning podcast host Shawn Ryan expressed deep frustration with the executive order, saying, “Thank you, Trump. Thank you, RFK. Good fucking job. Way to fucking stick to your constituents.”

“Every fucking thing that came out of these guys' mouth is a fucking lie,” Ryan continued. “It makes me think, what is the fucking point of voting?”

He reiterated his frustration during the March 26 episode, questioning the administration's national security rationale for the order.

Ryan's anger stands out because he directly assigns responsibility to Trump and Kennedy for the administration's actions on glyphosate. But across the Make America Healthy Again movement, backlash to the order has largely followed a different pattern: Among right-leaning influencers and podcasters, criticism is severe, but responsibility is redirected away from Trump and Kennedy.

This dynamic isn’t new. MAHA influencers have repeatedly expressed outrage over the administration’s pesticide policy while failing to hold Trump or Kennedy accountable. Moms Across America founder Zen Honeycutt called the order “an egregious offense” and “a betrayal,” while adding that “Bobby is not in charge of Trump.” Food activist Vani Hari described “a level of anger and frustration like I’ve never witnessed before,” but noted, “Secretary Kennedy has done everything he said he’s going to do.” In February, podcaster Joe Rogan complained about glyphosate’s harms without directly referencing the administration's role in expanding its use.

The pattern became especially clear across multiple shows more recently. During the March 19 episode of *Critically Thinking with Dr. T and Dr. P*, Honeycutt said Trump’s glyphosate executive order “made me sick to my stomach,” called it “outrageous,” and said it was “an F-you to the MAHA movement.” But even as she condemned the policy, Honeycutt framed it as the product of pressure on Trump rather than a decision he owns. She pointed to chemical companies and people in his orbit, suggested he had been influenced or coerced, and ultimately returned to a message about consumer pressure and farmers choosing not to use glyphosate.

aha // DEEP STATE BS?

The same pattern reappeared on Rogan’s podcast that week. During the March 19 episode of *The Joe Rogan Experience*, Rogan acknowledged that “Trump passed an executive order” blocking efforts to restrict glyphosate use, but did not directly criticize him. Instead, he returned to familiar warnings about glyphosate, suggesting long-term exposure “can’t be good.”

During a March 20 appearance on *American Thought Leaders*, actor and MAHA supporter Rob Schneider criticized the administration’s move on glyphosate more directly. He said he was “very much angry” about the policy and accused the administration of giving Bayer protection for a “known cancer-causing agent.” But Schneider did not treat that anger as reason to break with Trump. Instead, he pointed to “captured agencies,” corporate influence, and a political system shaped by corporate power, while also describing himself as “a big fan of this administration.”

Across most of these examples, the criticism is severe, but responsibility is displaced, preserving alignment despite direct policy conflict. The policy can be described as dangerous — or even a “betrayal” — but the decision is attributed to external pressure, institutional capture, or surrounding actors rather than Trump himself.

The result is a movement willing to call the policy a betrayal without fully treating it as one

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) suggested that three 2024 congressional elections may have been rigged against the GOP while speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

Turning Point USA, the right-wing political group founded by Charlie Kirk, announced the lineup on Monday for what it’s billed as an alternative Super Bowl halftime show, and people on social media aren’t exactly singing its praises.

The late Charlie Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA is planning and promoting what it calls a “conservative friendly” alternative to the NFL sponsored Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL show features Puerto Rican raggaeton artist Bad Bunny. Headling the TPUSA show is Kid Rock. If you know anything about these artists, you know that both use profanity and explicit lyrics. The key difference for people supporting the alternative show is that Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican and performs his lyrics in Spanish. This has MAGA folk in a tizzy. They want their Super Bowl white and English.

As his extensive and friendly communications with Epstein were revealed, Steve Bannon's candidate lost a “vitally important” election.

The rancher famous for armed standoffs with the government said the left is "more correct" on immigration.

The president’s willingness to push a line that was obviously untrue was an odd and unnecessary misstep.

Judge Jeanine is doing damage control, but it’s not going well.

Another Major Actor Breaks Hollywood Norms, Shows Support for Trump

...“I do, yeah,” Vaughn said at the time. “I’m very supportive of Ron Paul, but I’ve always been, you know, more conservative than not. I think that when you get older, you just get less trust in the government running anything. And that you start to realize when you really go back and look at the Constitution and the principles of liberty, the real purpose of government is to protect the individual’s right to sort of think and pursue what they have an interest in.”

Newsmax instructed staff to lay off Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host Donald Trump nominated to serve as his secretary of defense, after a segment bashing the pick sparked the ire of Trump himself.

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he planned to expedite federal regulatory approvals, including all environmental permits, for any company or individual proposing to invest $1 billion or more in a construction project.

A cavalcade of supporting characters in the MAGA universe, and President-elect Donald Trump, showed up at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to attend a soirée for the conspiratorial, QAnon-adjacent conservative nonprofit America’s Future.

A man has been arrested, and Nancy Mace is wearing a wrist brace and shoulder sling after the South Carolina congresswoman said she was “physically accosted” in a Capitol office building on Tuesday afternoon.

Newspaper headlines have called Donald Trump’s victory “decisive,” “massive,” “resounding,” “historic,” and “sweeping.” Trump himself has described his win as a “landslide.” On election night, he claimed that “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.” None of those things are true.

A cavalcade of supporting characters in the MAGA universe, and President-elect Donald Trump, showed up at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to attend a soirée for the conspiratorial, QAnon-adjacent conservative nonprofit America’s Future.

Mel Gibson, the traditionalist Catholic actor and director, told the crowd, “I got nine kids. If one of them got stolen or trafficked, I’d have to kill someone.”

IFrame Content

That chimes with the kind of themes promoted by the group’s chairman, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has remade America’s Future in his own image. Since his appointment in 2021, the formerly meat-and-potatoes conservative group has shifted to promoting QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories about a clandestine cabal of pedophiles controlling media and government.

Last year, Gibson executive produced Sound of Freedom, a Christian thriller starring QAnon conspiracist Jim Caviezel that stoked QAnon paranoia. He praised Flynn for exposing “wolves in sheep’s clothing that prey upon our young” during Tuesday night’s speech at Trump’s club.

IFrame Content

In addition to Gibson—who arrived in a polo shirt, shorts, and Crocs before changing into a more appropriate suit and tie—other attendees included British comedian turned conspiracy theorist Russell Brand, car dealership fortune heir turned working-class poseur Kid Rock, Fox News outcast Tucker Carlson, and former Trump adviser Roger Stone.

Trump was listed as an “invited honored guest” and was seen alongside Flynn before he briefly addressed attendees outside, accompanied by Flynn, Carlson, and Kid Rock, who he called “great people.”

IFrame Content

Carlson and Kid Rock, née Robert Ritchie, were given “Champion for Freedom” awards by Flynn.

Carlson once called QAnon supporters—who believe a cabal of clandestine, Satanic child molesters are working against Trump—“gentle people waving American flags.” America’s Future, under the professed mandate of combatting human trafficking, has promoted similar conspiracies.

“They have organ harvesting,” says Flynn’s sister, Mary O’Neill, who was appointed executive director after he became chairman, in a video on their site. “They have also found a way to take the blood, and use the blood, to make themselves youthful.”

One attendee, who posed with Stone, commented on Instagram that they saw one-time television actor turned COVID and election denier Kevin Sorbo, who has been known to frequent Mar-a-Lago.

But the biggest name on hand, after Trump, was the pope-denying Gibson.

He called the Biden administration “four years of thinly veiled Marxism” and the incoming Trump administration as “a four year grace period,” adding “we’ll see how much this administration can claw back from the Philistines.”

Dennis Quaid

Actor Dennis Quaid, known for his roles in The Parent Trap and A Dog's Purpose, endorsed Trump at a California rally in October.

James Woods

Actor James Woods has also publicly backed Trump, using his social media profile to voice his support.

Although he originally backed Carly Fiorina in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, Woods has since become a loyal devotee of the former president.

On Twitter in 2017, Woods called Trump "a man who is willing to work for free to make his beloved country a better place."

As promised during the campaign, Trump did not take a salary during his time in office. Instead, he donated his presidential salary, which was $400,000 annually, to various federal agencies and initiatives each quarter. However, Trump's financial interests outside his presidential salary did generate revenue during his time in office. Reports indicated that his hotels and resorts, particularly the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., often hosted diplomats, political events, and others seeking access, which brought scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and the financial gains his business experienced due to his position. And in 2021, The Washington Post reported that was no record the former president donated his salary in the last six months of his term. He also still gets a presidential pension of more than $220,000 a year.

In 2019, Woods described the entrepreneur-turned-politician as "the voice of the American people," slamming news outlets that criticized Trump.

Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight has repeatedly called on Americans to support Trump.

Father of actress of Angelina Jolie, he endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020.

In August 2023, the Oscar winner described the property tycoon as "a man who wants to save America," believing that Biden's government has divided the country and thrust citizens into a "civil war."

Kelsey Grammer

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer has publicly supported Trump since 2016.

Later that year, Grammer backed Trump's decision to withdraw from the G-20 climate agreement, in which 20 of the world's largest economies work together to fight global warming. The actor voted for Trump again in 2020 and told a BBC journalist that he intends to vote for the former president again in the 2024 general election.

Kevin Sorbo

Actor Kevin Sorbo, known for his role in Hercules, has been an outspoken supporter, recently selling pro-Trump merchandise online.

Sorbo appears to be endorsing Trump once again in the 2024 general election, posting to X in September 2023: "MAGAnomics: cheaper gas, cheaper groceries, cheaper cost of living. No wonder the left doesn't like it."

Michael Rapaport

During a November 2023 episode of his I Am Rapaport podcast, the actor said he would vote for Trump if Biden didn't get the Israel-Hamas "situation under control."

"If it comes to pig d* Donald Trump and smokin' Joe Biden, I'm sorry, I am sorry, voting for pig d* Donald Trump is on the table," the True Romance star said.

"I'll still call him slob d* Donald Trump, pig d* Donald Trump and all that, but we need to get this whole f situation under control."

Kid Rock has appeared alongside Trump at several of his rallies.

One of the Republican's biggest supporters, the musician encouraged people to vote for Trump after the former president said he won't tax tips if elected.

"A vote for Trump is a vote for no tax on tips," he wrote in June.

Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid, brother of fellow Trump supporter Dennis Quaid, remains a loyal Trump supporter, having voted for the Republican since his first campaign.

The 73-year-old actor also championed Trump's claims of election fraud, asking his X followers in 2021: "I just don't see Americans rolling over for this election fraud. Do you?"

Trump retweeted the message, thanking Quaid for "working hard to clean up the stench of the 2020 Election Hoax!"

Last year, the Golden Globe winner reiterated his love for the billionaire on social media, writing: "I don't like politics. I like Trump."

Roseanne Barr

The comedian has been a long-time supporter of Trump, telling the Hollywood Reporter: "We would be so lucky if Trump won."

In 2023, her devotion to Trump has not wavered. During a recent appearance on right-wing streaming channel Real America's Voice, the 71-year-old described a meeting with the reality star.

"I lost control of myself," she told host Gina Loudon. The pair shared a hug, before Barr told Trump: "We know that you're the only one with balls."

Ted Nugent

Guitarist Ted Nugent, known for his right-wing political views, said in a 2020 interview that Trump was "sent here by God" to "drain the toxic swamp."

In 2023, Nugent performed at a campaign rally for the former president in Waco, Texas.

Ye/Kanye West

Kanye and Trump

Ye—who legally changed his name from Kanye West in 2021—and Trump had a brief friendship in 2022.

Appearing on Tim Pool's Timcast podcast that year, Ye said he'd continue to support the former president, despite Trump being "known for lying"—although the Grammy winner didn't specify what Trump was lying about.

Where Is Donald Trump Today?

Trump is doing two rallies in major swing states today, with one in North Carolina and one in Wisconsin later in the day. Combined, these states have 26 Electoral College votes, which could be the difference in November.

Vance is in Pennsylvania, also a swing state, following in Trump's footsteps.
