He finds the American president Donald Trump It is now trapped between the principles of his foreign policy “America first” and the political repercussions of the major Israeli attack on Iran, according to Rashil Bayd, head of the Politico news website office in Washington.
According to Bayed, Trump – who ran his election campaign and won the presidency on a promise to end the “eternal wars of America” - is now facing the possibility of being drawn into a new conflict in the Middle East, not his own decision, but rather because of Israel’s bold and unilateral actions.
According to the writer, the Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear establishments threatens to implicate US Military, regardless of the administration publicly insisting on its involvement in it, which raises the anger of the Trump base in support of its slogan “Let’s make America great again” – known as “Mag” – which is already controlled by external involvement Washington The opposition has long been for the United States to interfere in wars The Middle East.
The writer pointed out that prominent voices within this movement – including Sagar Ingéti and Charlie Kirk – have warned, since the first hours that followed the strike, that it may violate Trump’s main promise in his campaign and may lead to severe political consequences before the midterm elections.
According to the Politico website, the leaders of this movement spent “days when they were pleading with Trump to prevent Israel from launching a strike,” considering it a provocation that may destroy the planned peace talks with Iran, and it is still unclear then what Trump was unable or unwilling to stop the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Both possibilities, according to the writer, draw a disturbing picture: Either Trump lacks sufficient influence to curb the closest ally of America, or he implicitly agreed to the move against his political desires, a claim that his administration denies.
This incident prompted personalities from Maga Movement To question publicly the direction of the foreign policy of the administration, for example, the writer says, Engi described the strike as a “deliberate vandalism” aimed at forcing the United States to enter the war. Kirk pointed out that this step will raise internal unrest due to the United States’ support for Israel, especially in light of the questions that are waving on the horizon about military aid. For Tel Aviv And the possible consequences for gas and economics prices.
Bayed confirms that Trump is now facing two options, the best of which is: For Israel The isolationist priorities of its political base.
According to the writer, these responses forced Trump to double his diplomatic efforts publicly, as he announced – through his account on his site Truth Social – his commitment to reaching a peaceful solution with Iran, stressing that his administration received directives to continue negotiations, but soon this declaration overwhelmed my ambiguity, as Israel launched its attack a few hours after it.
Ultimately, Bayed’s article draws a picture of a president besieged with his allies, internal pressures, and geopolitical momentum that is no longer able to completely control. Trump’s credibility with Maga and perhaps the feasibility of his belief in foreign policy is now at stake.
