President Trump’s decision to float the possibility of regime change in Iran following a number of U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities has caused a new rupture across the MAGA universe, as top supporters fret about the possibility of a deeper U.S. involvement in a Middle Eastern war.
Trump surprised some supporters by authorizing weekend strikes against three nuclear sites in Iran, but he and his team seemed to signal the military action could end there.
The president scrambled those calculations in a Truth Social post Sunday. He said that while it was not politically correct to use the term regime change, “if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!”
The White House walked back Trump’s remarks Monday, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying he was just suggesting the Iranian people might want a new government, not suggesting a new front or motive to the war.
