And President Trump just wouldn't go that far because he'd lose MAGA.

And he needs MAGA.

So this is the problem.

I think the reason people are having a hard time seeing it is most of the media is not really very much into MAGA.

I've been to Trump rallies because that's part of my book, Our Own Worst Enemies.

This is my field research.

I've been to Butler's all weekend with these folks.

These folks are loyal to Trump only if he is a winner.

This is another way to think about it is they have faith in Trump, not because he's a good man.

It's because he's a winner.

And once he lets Iran become the fourth center of world power and on the road to getting nuclear weapons for real,

And where's the actual option anybody's come up with to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons?

All of the people on from the JCPOA explained Trump's getting nowhere with stopping Iran getting nuclear weapons.

So everybody agrees fundamentally that the only way to stop this is to let Iran keep Hormuz and keep its nuclear threshold or if not over the threshold status.

And that's the problem for Trump.

He can't own that L and keep MAGA for the midterms.

That's what happens.

That's how Lyndon Johnson, so what he's doing is he's trying to avoid becoming Herbert Hoover.

And what he'll likely become is Lyndon Johnson.

and there's no way for him to become Ronald Reagan.
