"MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I'm doing—every aspect of it. This is a detour that we have to take in order to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe, frankly. I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians."
"I think that MAGA is Trump—MAGA's not the other two. Megan was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me. And so, you know, some people are against—and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn't like the idea of this war."
"Regarding Carlson, who reportedly visited the White House three times in the last month to lobby against an attack, Trump said the criticism does not bother him, explaining that Carlson can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me."
The U.S. and Israel launched extensive bombing campaigns against Iran on Saturday, killing dozens of Iranian officials including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with at least 165 civilians, mostly children at a girls' school, and six U.S. soldiers. The strikes drew criticism from prominent MAGA figures Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, who opposed military action against a foreign nation. Trump responded by dismissing their concerns, stating that MAGA supports his decisions and that the military action is necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump characterized Kelly's opposition as inconsistent with her past positions and dismissed Carlson's repeated White House visits lobbying against the attack, claiming the criticism has no impact on his decision-making.
