US EditionAmerica First? War in Iran threatens to split Trump’s MAGA coalition.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump distanced himself from Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host and podcaster, saying Carlson 'has lost his way' and is no longer aligned with the MAGA movement after condemning the U.S.-Israel strikes.
