In around 2016 Trump said that women who get illegal abortions should be punished, it was a big controversy at the time.

It's not 2016 anymore. Trump is integrated with the GOP establishment now. RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was his toadie. He endorsed both previous speaker McCarthy and current speaker Johnson.

Easier to balance a budget when not paying close to a trillion a year in interest payments.
...Or just default on the debt. Lending to Uncle Sam in the current situation is irresponsible behaviour, after all - you wouldn't* lend to an alcoholic during a binge.

So, Trump can only do the right thing for his supporters only if it doesn't cost him in any way? Maybe you have invested your hopes and dreams in the wrong guy then?
DeSantis was far superior - not so old, not indicted, hasn't lost to Biden once already, not involved in a bunch scandals, can serve two terms, not obese, better on handling Covid, not related to Kushner, on the right of Trump on various issues, etc.
Tea party was about fiscal responsibility. At the end of Trump administration US was close to outright socialism, with the stimmy checks, rent moratorium and unemployment paying more than a minimum wage job. If Tea party mutated into that, that's some real "Cthulhu only swims left" stuff. Your guy wins a popularity contest and you completely lose any mission objective along the way.

They shouldn't be "happy with him" though. He beat a far better candidate in the current primary based on voter ignorance, glib charm and lies, likely will lose in the general and sell you down the river again if he wins. He doesn't believe in anything except his narcissism.

no new entanglements
He started arming Ukraine and bombed Syria.
new trade deals and reshoring manufacturing
He made a lot of noise and got US hit by retaliatory tariffs, haven't achieved much benefit AFAIK.
(It is definitely not akin to reparations.)
That was supposed to be funds earmarked for blacks only, call that whatever you like.
"Gun control" is also not very compelling when I presume you're really just referring to bump stocks.
It wasn't just bump stocks, he pushed for red flag laws ("take the guns first, go through due process later").
Ironically, MAGAs aren't getting much of anything out of it, Trump didn't have to do anything for them because he has their vote anyway. For example, left a bunch of his most ardent supporters who participated in J6 to democrat mercy while pardoning scammers and rappers. He pushed for gun control, First Step criminal release and Platinum plan reparations, because what are anyone unhappy with that on the right going to do, vote for Biden?

DeSantis was the leading candidate before Trump got indicted.

Interesting that Scott campaigned against Trump in 2016 on the supposed nonpartisan basis (Trump is uniquely bad, it's better to the right if he loses too), but didn't endorse DeSantis or Haley in the republican primary on the same basis.

Open borders libertarianism is a modern instantiation of the adage "capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang them".
Who wrote "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore" on the statue of Liberty? A jewish socialist. Democrats are keeping the border open for their own dark purposes, obviously not out of love for freedom.

While publicly obsessing about Taylor Swift is a bit nutty, actual democrat policies like releasing criminal suspects without bail, gender "trasitions" for minors and refusing to enforce the border are way crazier and have a real life impact. Hanania just wants craziness with a luxury belief flavor.
She endorsed Biden the last time and endorsed democrats running in Tennessee. Since Trump is likely to be the Republican candidate she's going to endorse the democrat again.

Capital is useful so accumulation of capital isn't rent seeking in the sense economists use the term. Huge part of rise of the standard of living is due to availability of capital increasing labor productivity.
Seems mostly reasonable, until:
Open Borders
Bunch of quokkas.
"Not a blathering moron" is a pretty low bar for a presidential candidate.
