Maybe this isn't a good idea.

So I think that it is totally plausible that in the next two weeks, Trump does a total taco, a titillating total taco and backs out.

Then it's a question of whether Iran says, all right, well, we can end it.

Iran can also choose to keep going.

Or does Trump come to believe that the only way to appear not to be afraid, which is very important to him, is to keep pushing to keep going and to making this an even bigger regional conflict, whether you ultimately get drafted

Can't believe we're even talking about this is partially going to depend on who is in Trump's ear in the five minutes before he decides about some of this stuff.

And that is admittedly a very scary place to be, especially.

when we have learned that Donald Trump is barely working as president of the United States.

We will get to that a little bit later.

Some of Trump's closest allies and even some of the most pro war right wingers that there are are turning on Donald Trump over Iran and saying this is a very bad idea.

You rarely see this in Trump world.

And it's coming from inside the movement.

I am talking to you about Trump allies.

MAGA influencers, longtime loyalists openly saying, I love war as much as the next guy.

But the Iran war is a mistake.

It could spiral out of control.

Now, let's start with Ann Coulter.

Ann Coulter has been a longtime Trump ally who has defended him for a long time and has occasionally criticized things that he does.

And she has certainly helped to shape the broader marriage narrative, and especially during Donald Trump's first term.

She is now comparing Fox News coverage of the Iran war to their lies about the 2020 election.
