In a major appearance alongside Senator Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, President Donald J. Trump reaffirmed his command over American foreign policy, declaring the 12-day war between Israel and Iran "over.” Speaking directly to his America First base—many of whom have shifted their trust from legacy networks like Fox News to populist platforms like Steve Bannon’s WarRoom—Trump made it clear: the United States will no longer be manipulated into endless wars, and the MAGA movement is done being dragged into geopolitical traps.

From the opening moment of the event, Trump’s tone was defiant, resolute, and unmistakably America First. "It’s over,” Trump said regarding the Israel-Iran conflict. "We did what had to be done. No boots on the ground. No regime change. And now, we’re moving on.”

Bannon echoed Trump’s words:

While Fox News personalities like “Tel Aviv” Mark Levin have remained firmly in the Israel First camp, echoing Netanyahu’s line and urging further U.S. involvement, Trump’s remarks echoed the growing sentiment from Bannon’s WarRoom and its audience: American citizens are done being pawns in foreign conflicts.

"Israel is a protectorate, not a treaty ally,” Bannon said earlier this week. "They owe us transparency. If they misled President Trump to initiate this escalation, then maybe it’s time for a regime change in Jerusalem—not Tehran.”

This was not lost on Trump. Though measured in tone, his comments alluded to a lack of candor from Netanyahu’s government in the run-up to Israel’s preemptive strike on Iran. "We acted based on the information we had,” Trump said. "But I don’t like being misled. No American does. And if things weren’t as they appeared—we’ll find out. But I’ve made my decision.”

That decision: finish the job, declare it done, and get back to the business of making America great again. It was a stark contrast to the neoconservative wing of the GOP and foreign policy elites who expected Trump to be pulled into another prolonged war.

Senator Marco Rubio, while cautious, backed the President’s message: "We must always stand with our allies, but not at the cost of America’s strategic clarity. The President has made the right call—measured and decisive.”

Pete Hegseth, a Fox News contributor often caught between the two camps, appeared to shift more in line with Bannon’s WarRoom ethos, praising Trump’s unwillingness to "play into the globalist war machine.”

The contrast in media responses has grown sharper by the day. WarRoom, with its unapologetically nationalist audience, has become the home of skepticism toward foreign influence, even from friendly nations. Meanwhile, Fox continues to air voices that are more aligned with Tel Aviv’s interests than Main Street America’s.

"It’s not about turning our back on Israel,” Bannon said. "It’s about not letting anyone, friend or foe, dictate U.S. policy without full accountability.”

And with the MAGA movement behind him, he made it clear: the war is over—politically and militarily—and they’re ready for what’s next.
