Trump Reaffirms Firm Stance and Welcomes Carlson Apology

Former President Trump stood his ground in the Oval Office Wednesday, asserting unwavering support from his base amid heated debates over Iran policy. He confirmed that Tucker Carlson reached out to apologize for comments he deemed “a little bit too strong” as the conservative world grapples with foreign policy divisions.

Trump was clear: his supporters remain loyal, driven by America First and MAGA ideals. He reiterated that “nobody thinks it’s okay for Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon,” stressing that if push comes to shove, action is necessary even if war is a last resort.

Key developments:

• Carlson, after clashing with Senator Ted Cruz on his podcast, reportedly apologized to Trump for being overly blunt.

• Cruz defended a tougher stance, calling out Iran’s nuclear ambitions as a dire threat and citing the need to “stop a lunatic who wants to murder us.”

• Trump reaffirmed: “If it’s a choice between fighting and them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do.”

Why this matters now:

• A recent poll shows 65% of MAGA Republicans backing U.S. strikes on Iranian military sites with 81% supporting preemptive action to halt nukes.

• Despite internal friction, Trump’s approval among his base remains sky-high: 95% overall, with 84% endorsing his Iran stance.

The MAGA movement is clearly at a crossroads. Influencers like Carlson lean toward isolationism while Trump aligns with pro-Israel sentiment but remains open to last-minute decisions and military options. In current negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, time is running out as diplomats have until mid‑June to reach an agreement else default pressure appears likely to give way to action.

Trump’s message was clear: he leads with resolve, meets criticism head-on, and will always put American security first. His base, he claims, is not only behind him it’s more “in love” than ever.
