I'm sorry, but this is Rawstory writing what people wanna hear for clickbait. Here's their clip:
https://rumble.com/v6w9hfk-thats-a-cult-alex-jones-disavows-trump-after-he-tells-fans-to-drop-epstein.html
That is not repudiation. It's wobbling on a single tweet, even with their selective cut.
Honestly I wish this source was softbanned from /c/news. Like it is from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#The_Raw_Story
Look through his posts. He posted cuts close to that. He's been criticizing more than just this tweet
https://xcancel.com/realalexjones
The pinned post is literally:
Scrolling down, I see clips of him being… combatively apologist. The tone being “Trump is an idiot for doing this, instead of that.”
Also, thank the heavens xcancel is still running from whatever black magic backend they’ve figure out.
He's hedging and still trying to support some/most of the Trump line, but he isn't doing the usual 100% blind support of Trump
Alex Jones predates Trump and has always been combative, even about Trump policy, from what I've seen. He criticized some of Trump's earlier moves, like with Ukraine.
This is all in character for him, though I admit that's just my surface impression.
But objectively, his pinned tweet outright says "MAGA Divorce is a false liberal meme." That is not the message of someone "disavowing" Trump.
You can try to read between the lines, but IMO you should take what he says at face value.
