Some of President Donald Trump's most devoted supporters are turning their backs on him, according to Politico's "Playbook".

The "Front Row Joes" earned their name by fighting to secure seats in the front row at Trump rallies, traveling from event to event much the way fans follow a favorite musician on tour.

Playbook noted that these supporters "once represented unbreakable, unconditional, unprecedented devotion." They formed part of the 30 percent of voters Trump could always rely on to keep his poll numbers juiced. But these front-row supporters are done.

Trisha Hope did not hold back when she spoke to Playbook, blasting Trump as "a fraud and liar."

Hope joined the Front Row Joes in 2018 and even published a book of Trump's social media posts, titled Just the Tweets. The book helped pay for her travel to rallies across the country in an RV she bought, after she gave up her apartment in Texas for life in the tiny home.

During Trump's first impeachment in 2019, she recalled, she spent weeks walking the halls of Capitol Hill defending him.

"I went to every single senator's office as well as Republican congressmen," Hope said. "I did everything I could for him."

Now, those days are over, she told Politico reporters. "If we do lose the midterms and he is impeached again, I will be walking the halls of Congress in support of that impeachment."

Her anger traces back to the July 8, 2025 Cabinet meeting, when a reporter asked then-Attorney General Pam Bondi about the handling of the investigation files concerning Jeffrey Epstein. Hope watched as Trump snapped, "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years."

The handling of the Epstein files has become a distinct sore spot with Trump's core base of support — a thread that runs through both onetime superfans' accounts in the report.

"It was like a dagger in my heart," Hope said. "It was like a light switch went on and a veil lifted, and I saw him for who he was, and I have not been able to unsee it since."

When Trump went to war with Iran, she said she felt vindicated in her anger over the Epstein files. Every new claim Trump makes about Iran, she added, only makes things worse.

"He's said the war is over 600 different times. He tells us they don't have a military, they don't have a navy. They're still blowing up things. It's just all lies," she lamented.

Rick Frazier is in the same boat. With more than 100 Trump rallies under his belt, he was a Front Row Joe as well, and he even dedicated time to creating content for the group's social media.

he spoke to Playbook, Frazier criticized the president bluntly, saying "he can't be trusted."

"Epstein crimes and feeding the industrial military complex … those are big nos for me," Frazier said when chatting with reporters. "He promoted himself as a no-war president. That didn't work out."

He told Playbook that he now simply feels like throwing up his hands on politics as a whole.

"I'm to the point of not going to the polls in November," he said.

Both recognize that they are among the few within the dedicated group to abandon the president. Frazier estimated that probably 95 percent of the Front Row Joes are still supportive.

The problem, the report noted, is that Hope is a Texas voter and Frazier is in Ohio — two states that will be critical for Republicans in keeping a U.S. Senate majority. Senate seats in both states will be on the midterm ballot, and whether wavering loyalists like Hope and Frazier show up in November at all is one of the open questions the report leaves hanging.
