American media reported today: Trump kicked Tucker Carlson out of the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement for criticizing Iran's air strikes.
Carlson called the U.S. and Israeli attacks "extremely repulsive and evil," and said it was "Israel's war," which does not serve American interests.
Trump responded, "Tucker has lost his way... he doesn't belong to MAGA... and he isn't smart enough to understand this."
Note: Tucker Carlson is a well-known American right-wing host and journalist. He was once a top anchor at Fox News and has long been a staunch supporter of Trump, as well as one of the core figures in the MAGA movement.
Comment: As a core voice of Trump and the MAGA movement, Tucker Carlson was directly expelled from the movement for openly opposing the joint U.S.-Israel air strikes on Iran, stating that it was "Israel's war" and harmed American interests. This marks a fundamental split within the American right-wing populist faction. Carlson upholds the original MAGA principles of "anti-war, America First, not fighting wars for others," while Trump has shifted towards a hard-line stance on Middle East issues, replacing ideology with loyalty, and purging dissenters at the first sign of disagreement. The essence of this internal conflict is whether MAGA is an anti-war America First movement or an unconditional support for Israel's war faction. It has exposed deep-seated divisions within the American right on foreign policy, and also shattered the so-called image of a "peace president."
