Polls have been already indicating that President Donald Trump is probably the most unpopular president of any of our lifetimes earlier than his administration joined Israel in launching the lethal strikes towards Iran that killed Iranian Supreme Chief Ali Khamenei and 5 different high Iranian officers, greater than 150 Iranian civilians, and 6 U.S. service members to this point. Now that the commander in chief that MAGA rubes believed would function an “America first,” anti-war president has turned out to be a warmongerer pretending to be a peacemaker, Trump is even shedding a lot of his personal ever-faithful loyalists in right-wing media, social media and within the GOP.
That’s proper, y’all — a lot of the MAGA world is large MAGA mad that the president who lies about every thing was additionally mendacity about not beginning any new wars.
Megyn Kelly was virtually as indignant over the strike as she was over Black Santa Claus, the existence of HBCUs, and Spanish in the course of the Tremendous Bowl halftime present, saying in a prolonged and heated rant that “nobody ought to should die for a international nation.”
Former Fox Information host Tucker Carlson — who misplaced his job peddling pro-Trump propaganda, and has reportedly visited the White Home thrice within the final month — referred to as the assaults on Iran “completely disgusting and evil.”
After all, Trump — who won’t ever reply to criticism by being introspective so long as sinking additional into his self-delusion is an possibility — responded to Tucker and Kelly by basically claiming they aren’t actual MAGAs anyway.
“I feel that MAGA is Trump — MAGA’s not the opposite two,” Trump wrote on social media, referring to Kelly and Carlson. “MAGA needs to see our nation thrive and be protected. And MAGA loves what I’m doing — each facet of it… It is a detour that we now have to take in an effort to maintain our nation protected and maintain different international locations protected, frankly.”
Trump additionally mentioned Kelly ought to “examine her historical past guide just a little bit,” which could have been insulting if it hadn’t come from the president who did not show primary data of the Declaration of Independence that one time.
“Megan was against me for years after I ran the primary time, and nothing stopped me,” Trump added. “And so, you realize, some persons are towards — they usually all the time come again. She got here all the best way again. However now I suppose she perhaps doesn’t like the concept of this battle, however I do as a result of I’ve to maintain nuclear weapons out of the palms of the Iranians.”
Keep in mind again in June of final yr, when Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear websites and claimed he had “obliterated” the nation’s nuclear weapon capabilities, and MAGA had a grand outdated time celebrating that supposed win? Good instances, amirite?
Anyway, Trump is, as ordinary, merely ignoring actuality by claiming Carlson and Kelly are outliers in the case of MAGA supporters not being so supportive after the strike.
I imply, I suppose Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t really matter since she’s been making an attempt to rebrand herself because the anti-MAGA antihero for some time now, however right here she is denouncing Trump in an interview with Kelly and on social media.
Matt Walsh, the white Christian nationalist who hates Muslims virtually as a lot as he loves humping Trump’s leg, additionally criticized the president over the assault.
Congressional Republicans have additionally turned on the MAGA messiah.
From CBS Information:
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is main the Home battle powers effort alongside Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California. Massie has criticized the strikes in sturdy phrases, claiming the strategy isn’t in step with the “America First” agenda, whereas saying that lawmakers should go on the report on the problem.
GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a co-sponsor of the battle powers decision within the higher chamber, has additionally condemned the transfer to strike Iran with out Congress’ approval, citing the legislative department’s authority to declare battle.
The Home and Senate are set to vote on battle powers resolutions this week that may require the president to hunt congressional approval to make use of navy power on Iran. And whereas the efforts are largely backed by Democrats, they pose key checks for the GOP.
Rep. Warren Davidson, an Ohio Republican, has referred to as on the administration to put out compelling causes for the battle in Iran. Forward of this weekend’s assault, Davidson mentioned he would assist the battle powers decision within the Home “within the absence of latest data.”
“This week we’ll both see actual intel, hear a persuasive rationalization with an outlined mission, and declare battle / authorize a mission, or Congress should go this Conflict Powers Decision and stop work in Iran,” Davidson wrote on X on Monday.
Daaaaaamn, Trump — if you happen to lose MAGA, who else do you even have?
And, once more, who would have thought that the president — who bombed Iran unprovoked a number of months in the past, and, since then, has bombed Venezuelan boats, kidnapped the Venezuelan president, threatened Greenland with a takeover, and did all of it simply because the U.S. has the navy energy to do it — would begin a contemporary battle by bombing Iran fully unprovoked once more, proper?
Anyway, right here’s a pleasant reminder that we might have had a president who wouldn’t have made it her mission to throw the world into chaos with unbridled authoritarianism and model new wars.
Actually, I’m simply going to depart this tweet from that would-be president proper right here…
