Trump Faces GOP Backlash Over Iran Strike Amid MAGA Divide
President Donald Trump's recent decision to authorize military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites has sparked significant backlash from within his own MAGA base and Republican supporters. Many loyalists express deep disappointment and feelings of betrayal, citing Trump's earlier promises to avoid new wars and act as a peacemaker in the Middle East. Some supporters accuse Trump of succumbing to pro-war influences and fear the US is being drawn into another prolonged conflict, potentially involving regime change in Iran despite official denials. Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to reassure the MAGA faithful that the strikes are consistent with Trump's national security approach, but internal divisions remain apparent. Additionally, Democrats criticized being excluded from pre-strike briefings, while Republicans justified the secrecy due to concerns about leaks. Overall, the strikes have intensified political tensions and raised questions about Trump's evolving wartime leadership and its impact on his core supporters.
