'They're tired of this': Fox & Friends host delivers blunt warning about MAGA and Trump

A loyal Fox News booster of President Donald Trump told the network's own war correspondent Thursday that MAGA viewers were done with his war of choice.

Ainsley Earhardt raised the alarm during a live Fox & Friends update from chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, who had just gotten off a phone call with President Donald Trump — placed from the Situation Room as U.S. strikes on Iran were still underway.

"They're tired of this," Earhardt said, describing viewers who "love Donald Trump" and "trust him" but are exhausted by the conflict. "They see that the midterms are around the corner. They want our economy to get back on track and our gas prices to drop."

The remarks are set against a backdrop of eroding Republican support for the war.

A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted March 17-20 showed 84% of Republicans backed military action. By late March, that number had slipped to 77% in a Fox News/Beacon Research survey — with support among non-MAGA Republicans dropping to just 52%. An April Fox poll put overall support at 45%, with a majority of 55% opposing the conflict as it neared two months.

CNN's analysis of the polling found the softness notable: even some Republicans who approved of the war thought it would make the U.S. less safe.

Trump's own words on the Fox call did little to suggest a swift exit. Yingst reported that when he asked the president whether the ceasefire was over, Trump dismissed the premise entirely — saying it was "one of the worst ceasefires in history" because Iran had kept attacking throughout, including shooting down a U.S. Apache helicopter with an Iranian drone earlier this week.

Asked what would happen if Iran refused to sign a peace deal, Trump was direct.

"'We'll bomb the s— out of them tomorrow night,'" Yingst quoted the president as saying.

Trump also told Yingst that Iranian officials had called him twice during the overnight strikes — asking him to stop. The strikes included 49 Tomahawk missiles hitting targets as close as 40 miles from Tehran, with U.S. fighter jets targeting radar and air defense systems across southwest Iran.

Yingst tried to reassure Earhardt's viewers on gas prices, noting Trump's secret operation to move oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz had helped stabilize prices. But the broader answer amounted to: not yet.

With mounting costs eating into Americans' pockets, even some Republicans have grown concerned the war could hurt the party in the November midterms, where they are defending a razor-thin congressional majority.
