Tucker Carlson has been a self absorbed coin operated carnival barking windbag for 30 years. It's crazy how many people have ever taken him seriously.
Perhaps he is. But his present positions share more with pre-2025 MAGA than where MAGA is today.
No, they don't. Maybe you never understood what MAGA meant. I don't agree with everything Trump has done, but it's all very well in line with what he has always defined MAGA as being.
I invite you to do some research on the core principles of MAGA and tell me how the war in Iran and favoritism of elites jives with it.
Peace through strength involves the strength part. Trumps whole "no new wars" stance was predicated on being strong enough to deter them, not dogmatic pacifism. Iran posed a threat, and he decided to act. It's 100% within the realm of what MAGA has always been.
I know you can't see past the Israel of it, but at the very least you can accept that Trump is narcissistic enough he wouldn't have torpedoes his legacy on wars for no good reason. I appreciate a leader that is willing to actually protect American interests.
But I'm sure you and your fellow travelers are more in the know about the state of Irans nuclear program. I'm sure this was really just a result of Jewish donors and cynical military-industrial complex demands.
I'd recommend you do your research. Trump has held the same position on Iran for 40 years. This conflict is completely in line with MAGA. Sorry you misinterpreted what MAGA meant.
