As fire and fury hit MAGA tent, Vance walks the tightrope for 2028 The escalating tensions within the MAGA movement, which once rallied behind Donald Trump’s anti-war rhetoric, have intensified as the administration faces internal dissent. On March 17, 2026, Joe Kent, a long-time supporter of Trump’s policies, resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Centre. In his letter, Kent criticized the recent war against Iran, stating that the conflict was driven by pressure from Israel and its American allies. He argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S. and that the decision to escalate the conflict was misguided. This resignation marks a significant shift within the Trump administration, as key figures within the MAGA movement begin to question the war strategy. Laura Loomer, a prominent Trump ally, speculated on social media that Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence and a vocal opponent of the war, might soon follow suit. The war, launched by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has triggered a realignment of loyalties across both political parties. Within the Republican Party, a notable reversal has occurred: three former Trump opponents—Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio—now serve as the primary advocates for the war effort. These figures, who once clashed with Trump on foreign policy issues, including the handling of conflicts in the Middle East, have now aligned with his stance. Polling shows that over 80% of Republican voters support the war, a stark contrast to the skepticism of MAGA natives like Kent. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former House representative, resigned earlier in 2026, while Vice-President J.D.#benjamin_netanyahu #joe_kent #maga_movement #laura_loomer #tulsi_gabbard
