Trump tried to appease MAHA’s fury over Roundup. It backfired.
Mollie Engelhart, a MAHA-aligned farmer, hosted a retreat for pro-MAHA leaders but expressed disillusionment with the Trump administration's support for Bayer's Roundup. The administration's backing of Roundup, including an executive order labeling glyphosate-based herbicides as critical to national security, has caused tension with MAHA-aligned supporters who expected stronger action on chemical-laden food systems.
