Tucker Carlson expressed that an attack on Iranian nuclear sites would likely lead to many American deaths and billions in costs, jeopardizing Trump's presidency. Steve Bannon expressed concern that another war could divide the country and the MAGA coalition. Analysts believed Trump risked alienating his base without staying out of the Israel-Iran conflict. Despite Trump's ensuing military actions against Iran, there were doubts about the effectiveness of these strikes and concerns about the disconnection of MAGA intellectuals like Carlson and Bannon from the Trump movement.
A strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. Trump ran for president as a peace candidate; it's why he won. A war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of his supporters.
We can't do this again, we'll tear the country apart. This is a White House that is responding in real time to its coalition, which is revolting to show it's disgusted with the potential of war with Iran.
I'm very concerned based on everything I've seen in the grassroots the last few months that this will cause a massive schism in MAGA.
The U.S. strike may or may not have obliterated the country's nuclear facilities, but it has certainly obliterated the notion that Carlson and Bannon speak for the Trump movement.
