First time Megyn witnessed the real art of the deal. The problem is that you expect Trump to say normal and do predictable things like the previous presidents. He will never be like them. He is not going to do normal things with the abnormal bloody Islamic terrorist in Iran.

Kelly, Megan, and Tucker aren’t just criticizing—they’re crossing the line and siding with voices that weaken the country.

Megyn, this “we got dragged in” take ignores the obvious. The issue isn’t who suggested timing—it’s why the window mattered. When a target’s capabilities are still limited, action is feasible. Once Iran's defenses are layered, sites are hardened, and stockpiles grow, the cost of doing anything about it goes way up. That’s basic strategy, not conspiracy. And Iran’s play wasn’t complicated—it was delay, bluff, and build. Stall through negotiations, buy time, and quietly ramp up production of cheap drones and missiles designed to overwhelm extremely expensive defense systems. That’s how you flip the cost equation—make any future strike so costly in lives and money that no one takes it. Meanwhile, keep advancing toward nuclear capability in the background. Once you’ve got enough volume and protection, you’re effectively untouchable. Then you’re not just another regional player—you’re sitting on leverage over global shipping through choke points like the Strait of Hormuz and dictating terms as a nuclear-capable state. At that point, you’re not negotiating—you’re controlling the board. And this didn’t start because someone whispered in our ear. It’s decades of hostile posture and regional activity that drove it. Timing might be influenced by allies, but the reason is baked in. The real point is simple: waiting changes the balance. More production, more dispersion, more resilience—and eventually a threshold where no one acts. If you think delaying always makes things safer, you’re ignoring how capability actually scales over time.
