Steve Bannon Downplays MAGA Rift Over Trump's Position On Iran
HuffPost
The right-wing pundit criticized hawkish Republicans and said Trump will "not be hectored" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Right-wing media personality Steve Bannon on Thursday downplayed the schism emerging within President Donald Trump’s base over his consideration of a U.S. attack on Iran, claiming that the MAGA movement is “in a great place.”
Bannon, who dined with Trump on Thursday evening, told Politico Playbook the president is looking at other options beyond U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.
“This is a guy, before he turns to violence in terms of military kinetic action, he looks at every other alternative you can do,” Bannon said of Trump. “I think it just once again reinforces the reason that the MAGA movement loves him.”
Trump on Thursday acknowledged the speculation about his thinking on the war that broke out last week following Israel’s strikes on Tehran’s nuclear and military sites, setting himself a deadline to decide on whether the U.S. should join the conflict.
“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” Trump said, according to the White House.
