As much as I like @marcthiessen & @marklevinshow , I tend to agree with @seanmdav that they were too focused on escalating the 2026 Iran War, had no exit strategy, and failed to recognize that if the war was not wrapped up by April or so, the GOP would suffer badly in the midterm election.

My latest @theamgreatness article.

Trump’s America First approach to government, which prioritizes the interests of the American people over the liberal elite and the globalists, remains an approach most Americans support.

From an interview I gave in Seoul in April. I have been saying this in media interviews since the spring.

Korea Times, April 8, 2026: "The conflict in the Middle East could prove costly for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, a former senior Trump administration official warned Wednesday, cautioning that the crisis risks pulling U.S. President Donald Trump's attention away from the economic issues critical to securing his political base.

Fred Fleitz, a former chief of staff of the U.S. National Security Council, said the war could complicate the political landscape as the midterms approach.

“I think the midterms are going to be very hard for Republicans to hold the House,” Fleitz told The Korea Times, Wednesday.

He urged the Trump administration to refocus on domestic priorities, particularly the economy, to maintain support among his base as well as independents.

“The president and his team really need to double down right now, reassuring the American people and focusing on economic issues,” he said.

Fleitz said international developments risk pulling attention away from that effort.

“These international issues are distracting Trump from what he needs to do to nail down his base and independents,” he said.

He also warned of broader political consequences if Republicans lose control of the House, saying Democrats would likely move quickly to launch investigations and impeachment efforts, which could make it harder for the administration to govern."

President Trump needs to end the Iran War now.

Unbelievable statement by a senior Dem member of Congress over a fellow member who made a difficult decision because of her personal beliefs & principles. When Republicans like Liz Cheney took similar action, I don't remember Schumer accusing them of "despicable betrayals."
