‘Carlson had previously criticized Trump for refusing to knock Netanyahu over the Gaza carnage; now he would make clear to the President that a broader war would be his ruin. “They want you to go to war with Iran,” Carlson said. “We’re not doing that,” Trump answered. “Good, because the only thing that can blow up your administration is if you get into a war with Iran,” Carlson said. “Your voters don’t want any more wars. You ran on that. That’s the main reason people voted for you in 2016. That’s what set you apart from the pack. You changed the Republican Party. And the people who didn’t want to change are now trying to lure you into a trap. This is a trap set by your enemies. These people fucking hate you. And once you get in, it’s very hard to get out of it. And that’ll wreck your presidency. That’ll wreck everything. You won’t be able to do anything.”’
