Trump Starts Process Of Bringing MAGA Team Back Together

A growing civil war within the MAGA movement is brewing as President Donald Trump weighs whether to strike Iran in support of Israel’s military campaign. At the center of the conflict is Trump’s openness to using U.S. force against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—an idea that has caused concern among key figures aligned with the “America First” doctrine. High-profile allies like Tucker Carlson and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene have criticized this potential shift, warning that it contradicts Trump’s longstanding promise to avoid new foreign wars. Carlson, in particular, was vocal in a newsletter and on Steve Bannon’s podcast, accusing Trump of complicity in an act of war.

In response to the backlash, Trump’s team reportedly initiated private outreach to ease tensions within his base. That effort seems to be having an effect, with Bannon stating that most MAGA supporters will likely back Trump if he chooses to move forward. Trump himself revealed that Carlson privately apologized to him for what he described as overly harsh criticism. Carlson had previously invested heavily in Trump’s 2024 campaign, promoting his anti-interventionist platform, but now finds himself at odds with hawkish conservatives like Senator Ted Cruz and Fox News host Mark Levin.

This internal divide has reached Trump’s administration. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, known for her anti-war stance, was publicly sidelined after releasing a video warning of the nuclear dangers tied to escalating tensions with Iran. However, Vice President J.D. Vance defended Gabbard in a social media post, emphasizing her loyalty and key role in national security. Still, Vance was critical of Iran, asserting the country had ample time to negotiate and made a “mistake” by delaying.

The U.S. is under pressure from Israel, which continues to target Iranian military and nuclear sites and has requested American assistance to strike Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Enrichment Center. This facility, buried deep inside a mountain, requires bunker-buster bombs that Israel does not possess. Trump has not yet approved the request. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that no final decision has been made and that Trump will wait roughly two weeks to leave room for diplomatic engagement.

During a press briefing, Leavitt relayed a message from Trump, indicating that Iran has requested direct negotiations and may send a delegation to the White House. The situation remains fluid, with tensions rising both abroad and within Trump’s own political ranks. The president is navigating a tightrope between maintaining his anti-war campaign narrative and responding to geopolitical realities that demand a decisive stance. As both his base and international allies await a decision, the next two weeks will be pivotal.
