Fact Check: "Even Steve Bannon questions Trump's decisions on Iran, signaling deep rifts."

What We Know

Recent reports indicate that there is indeed a growing division within the MAGA movement regarding former President Donald Trump's potential military actions in Iran. According to Reuters, MAGA supporters are expressing concerns about the U.S. becoming involved in another Middle Eastern conflict, which they fear could lead to a "new Middle East war." Steve Bannon, a prominent figure in the MAGA movement, has publicly stated that while he and others oppose military intervention, they believe Trump will maintain loyalty from his base regardless of his decisions on Iran. Bannon emphasized that the MAGA movement's core tenet is to avoid "forever wars," reflecting a sentiment that aligns with Trump's original America First policies (AP News).

Analysis

The claim that Steve Bannon is questioning Trump's decisions on Iran is partially true. Bannon has expressed concerns about military intervention, suggesting that he and others in the MAGA base are not in favor of U.S. military action in Iran. He stated, “We don’t like it. Maybe we hate it,” indicating a clear dissent regarding potential military involvement (AP News). However, he also acknowledged that the MAGA movement would ultimately back Trump, stating, “the MAGA movement will back Trump,” which suggests a complex relationship where dissent exists but does not equate to a complete break with Trump (Reuters).

The reliability of the sources used in this analysis is high. Both Reuters and AP News are established news organizations with a reputation for thorough reporting and fact-checking. They have covered the political landscape extensively, including the dynamics within the MAGA movement and Trump's presidency. However, it is important to note that while Bannon's comments reflect a level of questioning, they do not indicate a definitive rift that could undermine Trump's support among his base.

Conclusion

The claim that "Even Steve Bannon questions Trump's decisions on Iran, signaling deep rifts" is Partially True. While Bannon has raised concerns about military intervention and indicated that some in the MAGA movement may be unhappy with Trump's potential decisions, he simultaneously affirmed that the movement would continue to support Trump. This suggests that while there are dissenting voices, they do not necessarily indicate a significant fracture within the MAGA base.

Fact Check: This afternoon, London’s hospital halls fell unusually silent as Paul McCartney quietly arrived, carrying the same old guitar that had followed him through decades. On the fifth floor, Phil Collins lay still—frail and pale after months battling severe complications from spinal and heart conditions. As Paul entered the room, Phil’s eyes slowly opened, his lips trembling without sound. Without a word, Paul sat down and began to strum “Hey Jude” — gently, with deep emotion. Each lyric poured warmth into the sterile room, moving the nurses to tears, while a single tear slid down Phil’s cheek. When the final chord faded, Paul took his old friend’s hand and whispered, “We’re still a band, even if the only stage left is life itself.” The story has since spread among musicians like a final.love song between two legends.

Fact Check: The sole goal of this administration is to prevent the release of these files, which is why Trump has leaned on Republicans in Congress to block the release of the files five times. It's why Trump conspired with Pam Bondi to cook up this plan to pivot to grand jury testimonies instead of releasing the information she already has at her disposal. If Trump was orchestrating a cover up, there is quite literally nothing he would do differently than what he's doing right now."

Trump was anti-Illuminati, fought a stolen election, and was targeted by a coup and various conspiracies. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is framed as part of a satanic/globalist plan (NWO). Jesus gave Trump two terms because of what the Vatican did on 9/11.
