To measure the temperature currently in the “Make America Great Again” camp, it is worth looking at the latest episode of the “Tucker Carlson Show” program. On Tuesday evening, when Washington was anxiously waiting for the decision of the White House in the case of Iran, the supporter of Maga Carlson invited Senator Ted Cruz from Texas to the studio.
Both men are known for their merciless verbal strength, but what the millions of Americans saw exceeded the wildest expectations of everyone. “You have no idea about Iran! You are the Senator of the United States and you have no idea about the country whose government wants to overthrow,” the host said towards your guest. Trump's supporters were shocked. However, this is not the end. This political positional war goes far beyond the media scene.
The former “Fox” presenter came out as the winner. Carlson asked Texan's simple geography questions regarding the ethnic composition of the country and the number of inhabitants of Iran.
Cruz could not answer any of the questions. “You have no idea about Iran! You are the Senator of the United States and you have no idea about the country whose government wants to overthrow,” the host said towards your guest. Texan could not defend himself properly, while Carlson scored a point for the opposing team.
The Battle of For and against the United States intervention in Iran was already taking place a few days before the start of Israeli attacks on the Mulłów state. For Donald Trump, this confrontation is dangerousbecause among the supporters of the magician are prominent representatives who are followed by millions of American voters on social media.
Good face for a bad game
As Trump seriously and his closest advisers treat the fight between their supporters, he shows another intervention. JD Vance Vice President appeared on Monday on the “X” platform in an obvious attempt to alleviate the dispute in his own camp.
In the post on “X” the Magician's favorite explained that the president “deserved trust in the Iran case. His only goal is to use the American army to achieve the goals of US citizens. Whatever he does, he focuses on this.” Trump has been “extremely” consistent in terms of Iran for ten years – the mule regime cannot have a nuclear bomb.
Even The International Atomic Energy Agency (Maea) announced that Tehran has significantly exceeded the agreed levels of uranium enrichment. “And Maea is hard to call a right-wing and nationalist organization,” Vance added, calming his supporters.
However, President Trump showed “extraordinary restraint” to protect the American army and citizens. I must admit that people in the USA have “justified fears, especially after 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.” However, if Trump, after all, decides to attack, will deserve the trust of his supporters.
Vance is not the only influential voice of the magician who trumpets in the corner “We trust the president, regardless of what he decides.” Charlie Kirk, an ultra -conservative podcaster and activist, also praises the president's “political reliability”. He claims that Trump is not a “ideologist”, but he is “pragmatic and is based on common sense” and “he tries to find a compromise solution in the spirit of” America First “”.
Vance confesses two rules: first, the war in Iraq was a mistake; Secondly, Iran can never have an atomic bomb.
Republicans divided like never before
In the meantime, the positional war goes far beyond the political and media scene. Also in the US Congress, Trump's supporters share. Senator Lindsey Graham encourages Trump to intervene in to destroy Iran's nuclear potential. His colleague from the Senate, Rand Paul, calls public opinion to keep her restraint in US foreign policy, because it was thanks to her that Iran returned to negotiations.
Another coalition of Republicans opposite intervention is being created in the House of Representatives. Thomas Massie, a republican congressman of Kentucky, initiated a bill against US military intervention in Iran.
He is supported by the Magician Movement icon, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
