He has done so in regard to the crisis between Iran and Israel and whether the US will take the momentous decision to militarily join its longtime ally and attack Tehran’s nuclear production facilities with massive 30,000lb ordnance.
Such an approach clearly carries with it the benefit of strategic ambiguity. If the president declines to be nailed down on what steps he will take, so his supporters argue, it keeps everyone guessing as well.
In this case, it seems Trump is genuinely saying what he believes. Were the US to get involved in military action, the impacts could reverberate beyond even the wildest fears of the president and his advisers.
Having promised to bring peace to conflicts ranging from Ukraine to Gaza, the prospect of him getting the US involved in another one, has divided some of his most loyal supporters.
“Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who’s calling Donald Trump today to demand air strikes and other direct US military involvement in a war with Iran,” Carlson wrote on X.
Also opposed to military involvement are Steve Bannon, who was Trump’s campaign manager during his first term, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman and hardcore loyalist.
Greene said on X: “Anyone slobbering for the US to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA. We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them.”
The 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, is also in the “no” camp.
Meanwhile, those supporting military action are figures such Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz of Texas. Cruz was interviewed by Carlson this week. In a clip that went viral, Cruz admitted he had no idea of the population of Iran, which is home to 90 million people.

It is not clear what impact any of this will have on Trump.
“Considering that I’m the one that developed America First, and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,” he said.
One thing that does feel true as Trump weighs up options is that he knows he is in his second term, who does not have to think about his reelection. He is more concerned about his legacy than whether his actions upset some supporters.
