The blame game: The Trump coalition is fracturing as Iran operation stalls

Nothing about this fits with "America First".
I've got another one although it may not be that incompatible with your scenario...
What do you think a country willing to slaughter (January 2026) 30 000+ of its own people, sending islamists with assault weapons in hospitals to finish the wounded (and unarmed) and hanging publicly his athletes would do once it gets the atomic bomb?
Really: what do you think a country like that shall do?
I've got another one: one they'll have nuked Israel out of the world, do you think islamists are going to stop there?
Now we get to your scenario: maybe Netty knows Iran nuking Israel with the atomic bomb is coming and maybe it's blackmailing Trump (maybe for example Trump was in a threesome with Bill Gates when Bill Gates, factually, caught STDs on Epstein's island: who knows!?)...
But that still doesn't change my question: what is a regime made of murderers capable of killing 30 000 unarmed of its own people going to do to "infidels" all around the world once it'll be done with Israel?
1) According to Trump, their nuclear program was "obliterated" months ago.
2) They still have enriched uranium.
3) The Islamists are still in control --- only now it's the more extreme elements.
4) Unless Trump is preparing for a ground invasion to occupy the country, they will now be pursuing a nuclear weapon at all costs and as soon as possible.
The overall effect of the US attack may well be to make your nuclear horror scenario more likely. Let's see where we stand once TACO is done.
Really? Trump's best friend was a pedophile.
Putin and Netty probably have pictures and video.
That was known before he ran in 2016, it didn't matter. Trump admitted that his wealth and celebrity made it easy to sexually assault women on tape and it only made him more popular to his base. And plenty of damaging images and far more direct links to pedophilia have come from the Epstein file releases since, despite the administration's best efforts. Where can you go after the allegation that Donald Trump punched an underage girl in the head after she bit his dick goes public and goes nowhere?
Honestly I don't think more pictures and more video is going to move the needle. Either you already accept that Donald Trump is very likely a pedophile based on the preponderance of evidence or you don't care. No one is going to be Pikachu face shocked by anything anyone could reveal at this point.
Video would have some impact but only in the sense of throwing more kindling on the fire.
Exactly the sort of thing Trump might be inclined to try and avoid prior to an election.
After all, MAGA supports Trump no matter what. ICE murdered two US citizens already. Trump could shoot a baby in Times Square and I don't think it will ever go below 30%.
But once you raise gas prices, that affects everyone's living cost. I don't think whatever video Epstein made could ever match that. (And these days MAGA will wave it away with "guh it's clearly AI, you libtards." You can't do that at gas station.)
I could look at the "grab them by the pussy" thing and be disgusted but still think that there's something even worse that could come out which might discredit the guy.
But if the Epstein connections and his massive incompetence and massive corruption can't do anything, I can't see what would.
Is it really harder to believe that support from Israel is more complex than simple blackmail? There are a lot of pro-Israel people in and around power, Trump is far from alone on this. The Military Industrial Complex, Oligarchs, Corporations, they all win from the wars waged by Israel and the US in the Middle East.
It's easier to consider that Trump got played with his big ego and even if he's looking for an off ramp, there seems to be none that would let him off the hook while still looking strong, as him looking weak is the only thing that maybe could actually harm his business.
