Leavitt checks “supporters” looking to hijack the MAGA movement…
While speaking to the press outside the White House on Friday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against critics who claim that striking Iran doesn’t qualify as “America First.”
“This president lives in the real world,” Leavitt said. “And with respect to MAGA, President Trump is the leader of MAGA, he’s the creator of the MAGA movement, and there is nothing more ‘America First’ than taking out terrorists who have maimed and killed our own servicemen and women who chant death to America and pose a threat to the homeland.”
“President Trump is a leader of the ‘Peace Through Strength’ foreign policy doctrine,” Leavitt continued. “He attempted peace through diplomacy exhaustively and extensively with the rogue Iranian regime. So they have been struck with the strength and the sheer might oand will of the United States Armed Forces and President Trump has proven he’s a man of his word.”
“If you go back and look, not just over the past year as president, but in his first term and many years in his private life as well, when he has said that the Iranian regime can not obtain a nuclear bomb, well, now he’s acting on it. And he has the courage to do what so many presidents in the past did not.”
