Steve Bannon predicts MAGA majority will rally behind Trump if US gets involved in Israel-Iran war

MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon predicted Wednesday that most of President Trump’s loyal supporters will just “get on board” if the commander in chief decides to launch the US into the spiraling Israel-Iran conflict.

Despite warning that another war in the Middle East would only “tear this country apart,” the right-wing pundit said he expected the majority of the MAGA movement to rally behind Trump — regardless of what he decides.

“I know, and particularly his skills as a communicator, that he will come and walk people through it,” Bannon said at an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

“And the MAGA movement — there’ll be some [who disagree], but the vast majority of the MAGA movement will go, ‘Look. We trust your judgment. You’ve walked us through this. We don’t like it. In fact, maybe we hate it. But, you know, we’ll get on board.’”

Bannon, one of Trump’s top political advisers during his first administration, is among the loyalists who have objected in recent days to the US launching strikes against Iran as the conflict rages on.

The popular War Room host — who boasted he was “one of the biggest names in MAGA” — doubled down Wednesday, saying he’s convinced the US should stay away from the conflict even though he still trusts Trump’s leadership.

He added, too, that another war in the Middle East would only “tear this country apart” and signaled that Israel should finish what it started.

“We can’t have another Iraq,” Bannon warned.

“My mantra right now? The Israelis have to finish what they started,” he added. “They have total air superiority. In fact, I would say they have air supremacy. They have to. There’s no hurry to rush for the United States.”

Bannon’s remarks came as Trump refused to say Wednesday whether he had decided to order a US strike on Iran — a move that Tehran warned would trigger an “all-out war.”

“I may do it, I may not do it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

He added that it’s not “too late” for Iran to give up its nuclear program as he continues to weigh direct US involvement in Israel’s military operations aimed at crushing Tehran’s nuclear program.

“Nothing’s too late,” Trump said. “I can tell you this. Iran’s got a lot of trouble.”

“Nothing is finished until it is finished,” he continued. But “the next week is going to be very big — maybe less than a week.”
