Trump excommunicates 2 of MAGA's strongest supporters for criticizing his attack on Iran
President Donald Trump attacked Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly during an exclusive interview on Monday, casting doubt on their MAGA credentials after they criticized his decision to strike Iran with Israel. Trump stated, "I think that MAGA is Trump—MAGA's not the other two," asserting that true MAGA supporters back everything he does. He characterized the Iran strikes as necessary "to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe." The strikes, conducted early Saturday, killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and destroyed Iranian military and nuclear missile sites. Trump's comments reveal fractures within his supporting coalition over the military operation. While lawmakers from both parties celebrated Khamenei's death, some questioned whether the strikes were necessary. Trump's redefinition of MAGA as personal loyalty signals potential consequences for allies who voice independent criticism.
