MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace says MAGA got a 'generational stabbing in the back' from Trump

President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran was one of the biggest betrayals of his own voting base yet, MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said on Monday — and she compared Trump's past words to his actions now in a devastating sequence of clips.

"Our current strategy of nation-building and regime change is a proven absolute failure," said Trump in one clip. "We have created the vacuums that allow terrorism to grow and thrive. These globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood, and treasure chasing phantoms overseas while keeping us distracted from the havoc they're creating right here at home."

Trump just forever changed who can next run for president: analyst

Politico columnist Alexander Burns argues that President Donald Trump's second-term actions implemented irreversible changes to American foreign policy and diplomacy. Trump has pursued dominance assertions ranging from Venezuela and Greenland to military strikes on Iran and botched NATO trade negotiations, confirming warnings former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris made during the 2024 campaign. Burns contends that future presidents cannot simply restore previous diplomatic approaches. Détente with Iran and Cuba that former President Barack Obama pursued has permanently closed. America's credibility as a trade negotiator is "changed forever," making restoration of Bush-era trade relations impossible. NATO's relationship with the U.S. cannot revert to 1998 levels through rhetoric alone. Burns criticizes Biden's failed efforts to repair norms and repair democratic institutions, arguing that the window to bridge to the twentieth century has permanently closed.

The question seemed to bother Clinton and her lawyers, one of whom characterized the theory as "wacky."

President Donald Trump spent much of his first year in office in an all-out war against solar power, even going so far as to change regulations so that renewable energy faces vastly more permitting. But now, many prominent MAGA voices are beginning to enthusiastically promote solar development.

The reason for the shift is simple, The Washington Post reported on Monday: artificial intelligence.
