Right-wing influencers were up in arms last night over the prospect of President Trump going to war with Iran because of the Iranian nuclear program.

Now, it's worth mentioning, since this fact seems to be lost on some people, that the United States is not, in fact, at war with Iran.

But these influencers and pundits were furious that Trump might go to war with Iran.

This, they said, would constitute a betrayal of the MAGA movement, a betrayal of everything President Trump campaigned on and was elected to do.

Trump, they pointed out, was elected on getting us out of wars in the

Middle East. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. When did Trump suggest that Iran was even on

his mind? Everybody, no nuclear weapons. You can't give nuclear weapons. It'd be one thing if Trump had campaigned on stopping Iran's nuclear program.

Don't let Iran have nuclear weapons. That's my only thing I have to tell you today.

But for Trump to just voice this policy on us, completely out of the blue.

Including Iran, we wouldn't have, they can't have a nuclear weapon. That's so they can't have

nuclear weapons. It's too, too destructive, too powerful. They can't have it. Without any

warning. I just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. Well, it's a betrayal, wouldn't you

say? What else do you call it when you say one thing on

the campaign trail? They cannot have a nuclear weapon. That was the only thing. The one thing,

I said, you cannot have. And another thing when you get into office. You can't let Iran have

nuclear weapons. No, I don't let Iran have nuclear weapons.

I don't want the U.S. to get bogged down in another war in the Middle East.

I think many of the arguments regarding Iran are bogus, as I've said repeatedly on the show.

But it also seems strange to blame President Trump for betraying promises he never made

to keep us out of a war he didn't launch.

You would think that after 10 years of fake crises regarding Trump, people would have learned by now to take a few deep breaths when the latest panic drops.

But no, panikins abound.
