The budget deal that was passed late Tuesday by the Trumpian-controlled House with the slimmest of margins could be the beginning of the end for the Trumpian party, an analyst told MSNBC Wednesday.

Speaking with host Joe Scarborough, Puck’s John Heilemann said the combination of budget cuts, in addition to Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts to destroy government programs, will push voters — including Trumpians —over the edge..

“They’re walking into a political buzzsaw here where if they think that the pushback they’ve seen so far at these town halls has been problematic, and it has been so bad that they’re shutting them down, you can’t imagine what they’re about to hit,” he told the “Morning Joe” host.

‘When they try to cut $300 billion out of Medicaid which, as you said, touches both red and blue states and districts alike it is going to be, I think, it’s going to be politically impossible for them to be able to make that level of cuts. “
