Summary

Speaking Tuesday about his war on Iran, Donald Trump got too candid. He declared that the worst-case scenario could involve people running Iran who are just as bad as those he’s deposing. He also admitted that most of the people the United States hoped will take over are now “dead,” and visibly had no idea what will happen next. All this accidentally reveals just how little thought he’s given to what will happen as this continues to unfold. It comes as MAGA is turning against Trump over the war: Personalities like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh and many more are sharply questioning Trump’s stated rationales and Israel’s role in dictating our war policy. We talked to Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, who closely covers Trumpworld. We discuss how Trump is recklessly miring us in a horrifying quagmire, the real reasons MAGA is turning on Trump, whether MAGA angst could cause Trump to rethink, and what it means that MAGA opposes war in Iran while thrilling to savage brutality at home.

1:02.4	Donald Trump undermined his own case for war with Iran in some odd comments to reporters on Tuesday. He admitted that the worst case scenario is that Iran might be ruled by terrible

1:12.7	are already dead. The casual nature of these comments accidentally revealed how poorly thought
1:19.0	through all this truly is. And all that comes as MAGA opinion leaders have turned hard

1:28.6	MAGA opinion on this. Along with the markets tanking, the splitting of the MAGA base might be
