Steve Bannon said Wednesday that while he doesn’t want U.S. involvement in Iran, he expects most of the MAGA movement to coalesce behind President Donald Trump, whatever he decides.
“I know, and particularly his skills as a communicator, that he will come and walk people through it,” Bannon told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. “And the MAGA movement — there’ll be some [who disagree], but the vast majority of the MAGA movement will go, ‘Look. We trust your judgment. You’ve walked us through this. We don’t like it. In fact, maybe we hate it. But, you know, we’ll get on board.’”
Bannon and other Trump loyalists like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have come out forcefully against U.S. involvement in the Middle East, citing concerns that America will be dragged unwittingly into another “forever war.”
