@ltgovhashmi Lies, lies, lies.Hashmi a disgrace. First Lady Trump did not say any of those things nor did the Plato robot say any of those things. Further, to suggest that any president perpetrated a coup is wildly far fetched. Pelosi and the Mayor of Wash., D.C. should be in jail.

Victor Davis Hanson is one of the sharpest readers of Trump's body language and rhetoric in the country. And what he's seeing right now is a subtle but unmistakable signal.

Trump has started pulling back on the J.D., J.D., J.D. energy — and pivoting to effusive praise of Marco Rubio. 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺. When asked about Vance, he said Vance is "a little bit less enthusiastic, but enthusiastic." That's Trump-speak for: we have a problem.

Hanson's read on what Trump is communicating: 𝘑.𝘋., 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. The problem is that Vance's political identity is built on the MAGA base — the same base that Tucker Carlson, Don Jr., and others helped deliver him the VP nomination. Tucker's son works on Vance's staff. And Tucker is now calling Trump's Iran decision "evil" and trafficking in the same regime-change-is-rape rhetoric that embarrassed everyone who repeated it.

Hanson deals with Tucker's unconditional surrender argument directly and efficiently. Tucker suggested that demanding unconditional surrender historically leads to mass rape of the defeated. Trump demanded unconditional surrender of Japan. Douglas MacArthur served as proconsul for eight years. There was no mass rape by Americans. The historical claim is simply false.

Vance faces an impossible position. Trump values loyalty above almost everything. But the people who made Vance politically viable are now publicly at war with the president's foreign policy. Every day that Tucker calls the Iran war evil and Joe Kent's conspiracy letter circulates, Vance's silence looks like acquiescence — and his occasional distancing looks like disloyalty to Trump.

The signal from Trump via Hanson's read is clear: get clean. Distance yourself from the extremists. Iran was necessary, Venezuela was necessary, and we're not abandoning MAGA — but the antisemitic brain rot crowd does not get to define what MAGA means.

That's a message Vance needs to hear. Whether he acts on it determines a great deal about 2028.

The US Supreme Court approved an emergency appeal from a Republican congresswoman in New York who asked the justices to block a state court ruling that ordered her Staten Island-based district to be redrawn ahead of the midterm election. https://t.co/YZ6BBy8Sw4
