He has had an ability to message and drive a message that I haven't seen really in any politician, for the exception of President Obama.
If you look at the two seminal political figures of Stephen and I's lifetime, or just the last 50 years, it would be President Obama and President Trump.
I would say this, though, sometimes the skills that get you where you are can also be the skills that lead to your downfall. And his ability to dig in and fight on things is certainly a skill that was able to get him back into the White House.
But I also think they're missing a key point here, which is the Iran war is unpopular.
There's a lot of talk about, well, what does the MAGA base think about it? Well, the MAGA base is 25, 30% of the entire US population. Look at the broader polling.
The broader polling shows that this war is very unpopular. And the issue Trump has is that, to accomplish the objectives he says he wants accomplished, taking out the regime and getting rid of the nuclear program, hold on, taking out the regime or getting rid of the nuclear program is going to require boots on the ground, something he campaigned against and it would be a major escalation and then even if we get rid of the regime that is going to open up a huge box of issues and every week that goes by where we don't have an end to this war the economic pain is going to mount.
A recent Reuters poll showed that the Americans are more unhappy with this economy now under Trump than they were with Biden.
So I think the Trump administration and President Trump needs to take a step back and see digging in their heels and fighting on every topic might not be the right strategy.

Yeah, but that point about them wanting to change the regime, they have been crystal clear that that is not their aim.

Hang on, hang on. Karoline Leavitt said in the briefing room yesterday when she was asked about that, she said, of course we want somebody in charge who is more favorable, who doesn't chance death to America. She said, of course we would want that. But she said their entire leadership has changed. But it is too soon to say if we will be happy with the new regime.

Well, I would say I was on the show with you for the six hours. I don't know how you did it when this war started.
And you voice... GB News platformed a ton of guests who were in favor of this war. And they didn't have a fetish for destroying the Navy. What they wanted to do, and they repeatedly said, was regime change.
GB News interviewed a ton of people who talked about how we need to get rid of this regime.
