I understand the cynicism, but Trump is a lame duck president, and there are plenty of incentives for people outside and inside the government to continue to move against him, because even if he moves for a third term he's old and the leadership vacuum is inevitable. Also, anti-israel sentiment has been growing on the right, which is one reason people think Israel pushed so hard for this. People who have and continue to identify as Republican will for sure support him because most of those folks have always been neo-cons who liked Bush and preferred the old school Republican interventionism to what Trump offered. They held their nose for Trump thinking he wouldn't do things like this.

But the MAGA / "America First" crowd led by such folks as Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes absolutely have the incentive to move against Trump.

Isn't half the MAGA movement funded by Russia? Pretty sure I think I know why they'd be defending Iran ...
