## Key Takeaways

- Trump’s admission that immigration policy may have gone too far signals a rare self-correction, yet loyalty narratives will mute impact.
- Steve Miller’s elevation anchors hardline policy; Trump hedges on tone while doubling down on the deportation core.
- MAGA’s cult-like devotion weaponizes blame; any shift triggers accusations of treachery, complicating genuine policy recalibration.
- Public polls reveal a growing disconnect: hardliners demand amnesty opposition, complicating bipartisan concessions and strategy.
- If Trump pursues softer rhetoric without durable policy shifts, the 2028 horizon favors opponents who translate rhetoric into reform.
