The ideological battle over what “America First” means in the Trump era is intensifying in wake of Israel’s strikes on Iran, splitting the MAGA right and testing its relationships with the president.
On one side, noninterventionist doves insist the Trumpian tagline means the president must avoid U.S. troops, resources or dollars going toward the conflict, for fear of getting dragged into an endless war.
“Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted Sunday on the social platform X.
But on the other end, foreign policy hawks and supporters of Israel are appealing to President Trump’s position that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, and encouraging him to leave all options — including direct military intervention — on the table.
“How is it not AMERICA FIRST to congratulate those who just made sure Islamists who chant ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ and who openly plotted to assassinate President @realDonaldTrump never have an opportunity to have a nuke?” right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer posted on X over the weekend.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
MTG is 100% right. Half of FR should also take note.
I only have one president and is not you, Rand Paul, Loomer or MTG.
Why would you even think for a minute any of them are in the best position to know what they are talking about on this?
Yo don’t get tolectiurefr, after defending that tarriff panickan globalist Rand.
To lecture
So many panickans.
Israel just handed us and the world a gift. They single handedly eliminated 1/3 of the worlds axis of evil. We should be grateful and we should offer assistance to Israel as needed. We, America First, will benefit greatly from what has occurred.
Axis of Evil? Are you a Bush disciple ?
MTG boarders on whack job in too many instances.
I’d like to point out Trump hasn’t done a damn thing except try to negotiate this, and then back Israel when the 60 day warning period expired.
Even now he’s trying to tell Iran to back down.
Whatever he decides will have my support.
Or maybe you’re the “whack job”?
Sadly there aren’t more stalwart posters like Alberta’s on issues like this - it’s a crying shame
No, but that doesnt mean evil regimes dont exist.
Are you a Rand disciple? You dont have to answer that.
Who are you to make this determination.
The US should not the worlds policeman. Your hero once said that around the year 99/2000
I hope the Iranians who want to see the end of the mullocracy are taking care of some business where they can under cover of the situation provided by the Israelis. They know where the regime-supporting bad guys are.
The VP on X on this subject...

Mr VP, you speak for me.
Especially that last paragraph.
These whack jobs killed the Reagan revolution, the Gingrich revolution, the tea party and now MAGA.
They LOVE being in the minority.
Leading frightens them.
Keep President Trump’s name out out you your mouth, and piss off, with that “you hero” stiff, troll.
The only thing left to do is to send in B52’s to bunker bust whatever is left
If he does this COUNT ME OUT
Vance is the VP he will go along with it
When the argument boils down to “whack job”, there is not much is left to argue about. Try harder to influence your opponent(s).
MTG is a clown. She should stick to CrossFit and leaving the thinking to others. Syria was 100% demilitarized using only air power. No Israeli or U.S. troops. In Iran, Israel has boots on the ground and only needs help with missile defense and B2 delivery of MOCs. No U.S. troops needed or wanted. De-ball Iran and remove it as a global leader of terror.
Do you have to resort to expletives
