This week, Wired reported that a prominent pro-Trump social media account known as “Johnny MAGA” was being secretly run by a rapid response manager within the Trump administration named Garrett Wade. The account appeared to be just “another outraged supporter in the MAGA media ecosystem,” and for years, figures in that ecosystem have amplified and leaned on Johnny MAGA’s social media content to promote Trump and criticize Democrats and Trump opponents.
Wade’s account has even been reposted by his own bosses, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Despite its popularity, white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes has called Johnny MAGA’s content “slop” and right-leaning streamer David Freiheit has said that influencers need to “stop this type of shit.”
