Comedian Tim Dillon ― one of several so-called “manosphere” onetime podcast allies of Donald Trump who have soured on the president in recent months ― offered a blunt reality check to MAGA supporters with a damning assessment of the country’s current state.
The country is “not doing great,” he said in an episode of “The Tim Dillon Show” released this weekend.
“I know that in some areas it feels like it’s doing great, but it’s not doing great,” he continued.
“There’s a contingent of people that want you to say things are great,” he said, naming Fox News host Sean Hannity, his Fox colleagues and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro as among them. Dillon added that mainstream Democrats, meanwhile, focus too heavily on cultural and representation issues.
