This is just part of the ongoing MAGA Civil War. It also exposes the deep dark underbelly of MAGA, which is increasingly racist, antisemitic and Nazi-ish. At the top of the heap is Trump, whose slogan should be---and is to all rational people---Trump First, or Trump Uber Alles. Everything in Trump's mind is for the greater glory, and financial gain, of Trump. Trump noted yesterday that "I saved the world from nuclear holocaust", as he is trying to shift the narrative back to "a week away from a bomb". Given what Marco Rubio first said about the war, and which Kent has seconded, the US was drawn into this war because of Netanyahu. Trump is so transparent and easily manipulated, it is easy to surmise how Netanyahu might have gotten to Trump: I suspect Trump was told how Trump will be viewed worldwide and in history as the man who saved the world, and Trump was probably also reminded that when Bush II invaded Iraq, his approval rating jumped to 80%. Ratings are so important to the insecure Trump. Given what Lindsey Graham said two weekends ago on the Sunday talk shows, it also suggests Netanyahu might have told Trump he could take Iran's oil and sell it. (Graham said, "We're going to make so much money selling Iran's oil" on those talk shows. That doesn't seem like a thought that would originate in Graham's head, so it may well have come from Trump.) Joe Kent is a certified nutball. There isn't a conspiracy he hasn't embraced with both hands, from the "stolen election" to "the FBI initiated 6 Jan 2021". He has attended many white nationalist group meetings and is an associate of anti-semite and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes (the guy invited to dine privately with Trump at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye West). Kent fits in much more with the up and coming MAGA wing, represented by the now various "Young Republican" groups who regularly praise Hitler, advocate authoritarianism, and post their idiocy online and in Reddit and Telegram groups. Even the Florida chapter head of Kirk's Turing Point America, Ian Valdes, posted in one of the MAGA chats, "I will def not marry a Jew". While that is the worst of MAGA and the up and coming constituency, even less rabid MAGAs support Trump's attempts to quash free speech and press freedom. They are as anti-American as can be. Trump, purely in his own interest, created MAGA, but he has lost control of it---as bad as it normally is---and it is morphing into an even worse form of itself. It is a virus spreading faster than Covid 19, and will do more damage if not stopped. There does not seem to be a vaccine for it, either. Trump even unleashed Incel Angst, with comments in both the NY and FL Young Republicans (young goes up to at least 40 years old) calling rape "epic". Kent will likely find refuge with guys like Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh, already is an associate of Fuentes, and may well soon appear on Joe Rogan (Rogan needs to get his ratings back up). MAGA is now playing "Bad Guy, Worse Guy" in its hellbent race to the bottom of the sewer.
