This week on Big F*ing Deal, Jo and Tara are joined by world-renown foreign affairs journalist Elise Labott, author of the Cosmopolitics Substack, covering international affairs, geopolitics, and America’s role in the world. Labott is also Adjunct Professor at American University’s School of International Service, and was previously CNN’s Global Affairs Correspondent.
Trump’s MAGA party is quickly losing support over his authoritarian, unilateral decision to drag the United States into yet another Middle Eastern war. Many prominent MAGA figures such as Matt Walsh, Dave Smith, and Curt Mills, the executive director of The American Conservative magazine, are slamming Trump and his White House over their decision to go to war, with Mills saying Trump “could be impeached.”
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former MAGA heiress, came out swinging against the regime, saying “We’re a year in and we’re in another f*cking war and we’ve got American troops being killed.”
The polling has also shown a sharp decrease in Trump’s support since Saturday’s start to the war. MAGA lawmakers and media allies themselves are struggling to align on their talking points, with some lawmakers like Senator Markwayne Mullin and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna declaring this “isn’t a war,” while Pete Hegseth clearly states the exact opposite.
All the while, Marco Rubio made the stunning admission that we only attacked Iran because Israel was going to do it anyway, and Donald Trump rambled about his favorite color drapes in the White House while American troops were being killed overseas during his new war.
Jo and Tara discuss all this and more, right here on The Siren Network.
