A former GOP congressman says many MAGA Republicans are secretly hoping for Trump's 'mortal demise'

• Many MAGA Republicans are wishing for Trump's "mortal demise," a former GOP Rep. says.
• Peter Meijer told The Atlantic he has heard MAGA Republicans say: "I can't wait until this guy dies."
• Other Republicans told The Atlantic they think Trump's diet and age might hasten his death.

Former GOP Rep. Peter Meijer said there are "a lot of folks" in the ranks of MAGA Republicans who are hoping for former President Donald Trump's "mortal demise."

"I want to be clear: I'm not in that camp. But I've heard from a lot of people who will go onstage and put on the red hat, and then give me a call the next day and say, 'I can't wait until this guy dies," Meijer told McKay Coppins, a journalist at The Atlantic.
