Tucker Carlson, a devoted Trump supporter, recently lashed out at Donald Trump claiming in a newsletter his support for Israel’s attack on Iran was not America First. President Trump denies it.
“Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,” Trump told The Atlantic in response.
“For those people who say they want peace—you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”
Tucker wrote in a newsletter, “While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump just bragged about on Truth Social, undeniably place the U.S. at the center of last night’s events.”
“Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out,” he added. “Politicians purporting to be America First can’t now credibly turn around and say they had nothing to do with it.”
President Trump has said the US was not involved in the attack. However, the US supplies the weapons and possibly intel. The US also helps protect Israel. For that reason, Iran said they are holding the US responsible.
Putin offered to negotiate peace between Israel and Iran, which Trump is open to. Trump can’t do it given Iran’s attitude toward the US.

America first is an old nationalist concept. Trump is looking bad. It’s bad enough he lets his DOJ do NOTHING. If Trump goes to war, his legacy is over, and so is MAGA.
America first does not mean disengaging from the real existing threats the USA, its people, and its interests, and those are present around the world. Our problem has been the construction of foreign conflicts in pursuit of special interests such as NATO empire expansion, military industrial complex funding, foreign corporate interests, etc., and such needs to be examined through the… Read more »
Tucker Carlson has done some important work for conservatives but he’s also owned by Putin. He propagandises for Putin hence is totally shameless expose in Russia showing how cheap groceries are there and saying nothing about the fact that Russians can’t even afford that. Putin is allied to the Ayatollah Khamenei and relies on Iran for oil, shipping, and drones.… Read more »
PROPAGANDIST ALERT
Anyone that says a fine conservative reporter is “owned by Putin”, which is typical neocon propaganda, is not credible.
You really are an idiot and liar, noisemaker. Russia produces 10 million barrels of oils a day, 3rd in the world.
I do not agree with most wars; however, Iran has been a total nightmare for so long, for so many, maybe it needed to be blown to smitherenes. The Mullahs are not even persians, and they have killed hundreds of thousands of persians over the last several years. The real persians have tried to escape from their murderous maniacal clutches,… Read more »
That us just plain nonsense. That is the same crazy propaganda used with the “Arab Spring”, in which 3 nations were overthrown, leaders killed, economies trashed, societies put back info Sharia.
Objective Reality: Iran has threatened complete destruction of Israel for decades, and has repeated attacked Israel through proxies.. If, and we do not know for sure, they developed the capability to do it, and the world stands inactive, what sane Israeli leader would not take away the means to carry out the threat of complete destruction? How does one have… Read more »
Threats are words, and many sides make them. Preemptive attacks are not words.
Israel seems to have Iran on the ropes. Finish them off. If it takes US airpower to help, go head. Israel is dropping our US made bombs on them, so whats the difference. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. You can only eliminate them. The middle east would be much more stable going forward, hopefully.
That’s just pure propaganda. The USA is not entering the war, despite your ridiculous wishes.
How silly, every time the USA overthrows an Islamic nation, things are more unstable.
Since when did Trump get to decide who can have a nuclear deterrent? Israel even stole their nuclear bomb parts from the US and faced no consequences. What if Russia decides Israel can’t have the bomb and starts nuking them? Iran didn’t attack our ships and killed its soldiers, Israel did. All I see is that he is fully in… Read more »
Your comment smacks of naivete vis-a-vis the area of nuclear arms and international conventions. To take your point forward, any country could claim a nuclear weapon threat and demand to have their own weapons as a deterrent. That is why nuclear non-proliferation treaties are in place. I hope an Iranian made terrorist nuclear bomb is not exploded near you.
I regret I can’t give you two up votes. The other commenter’s are like old men sitting around at home, pointing fingers on a map, plotting grand strategies, while the young men on the front line die or are maimed. They should visit a VA hospital and look firsthand at their hearts desire. Of course a good number of commentators… Read more »
Like Tucker Carlson looking out for Russian interests and Candace Owens looking out for Qatari interests. Conservatism doesn’t need these “Woke Right” types.
If the mullahs got the weapon, they would nuke Israel and the USA before you could blink. THey have and had no intention of changing that promise. They were given too much power to kill and destroy, and they have killed many Americans without any retaliation. It is time the Mullahs lose pwoer and the real persians take their country… Read more »
You get your information from comic books.
Iran is signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Israel is not.
Thanks for that reminder, the Israel worshipers will now call you an anti-semite for reporting truth.
The more Iran gets bombed with preemptive attacks, which Israel does about every year, the more like Iran is to make nuclear weapons.
