GRAPEVINE, Texas \u2014 There\u2019s an old saying in politics: you campaign in poetry and govern in prose. But at this week\u2019s Conservative Political Action Conference, Donald Trump\u2019s loyalists discovered that sometimes you govern in an outright airstrike campaign against Iran while the poetry turns out to have been written by someone else entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The scene at the sprawling hotel complex near Dallas was, by all accounts, vintage CPAC. There was the usual conservative kitsch on display\u2014a bus plastered with the president\u2019s face, \u201cTrump 2028\u201d T-shirts, and perhaps most on-brand, commemorative glasses marking the 2024 assassination attempt with a faux bullet embedded in the side and the word \u201cbulletproof\u201d stamped on them . Because nothing says \u201cfiscal conservatism\u201d like merchandising an attempt on your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beneath the golden-sequined jackets of the \u201cTrump Tribe of Texas\u201d and the chants of \u201cUSA,\u201d something was rotting in the state of MAGA. The movement that promised to end \u201cforever wars\u201d and put America First has somehow stumbled into a brand new war in Iran. And at CPAC, the faithful weren\u2019t so much rallying behind their leader as they were holding an intervention he refused to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The War on \u201cAmerica First\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s rewind to the campaign trail\u2014back when Trump promised, with the kind of certainty usually reserved for describing his own crowd sizes, that he would keep America out of foreign entanglements. No more stupid wars. No more nation-building. America First meant America first, not some endless Middle East quagmire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to March 2026, and the U.S. is in its fourth week of \u201cOperation Epic Fury\u201d\u2014a name so absurd it sounds like a Call of Duty DLC pack. The strikes have killed Iran\u2019s supreme leader, and the administration is reportedly considering a $200 billion war funding request . Thousands of American troops are heading to the Middle East, including elements of the 82nd Airborne Division . Gas prices are soaring. And the man who promised to be the peace president is now explaining why this war is actually totally different from all those other wars he opposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cognitive dissonance at CPAC was so thick you could have cut it with one of those commemorative assassination-attempt glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Movement Divided by Age, Sanity, and Basic Reading Comprehension<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most delicious detail to emerge from CPAC 2026 is the generational civil war unfolding within MAGA ranks. As it turns out, the \u201cAmerica First\u201d message resonated a little too well with the young people who actually believed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC interviewed 19-year-old Toby Blair, a college student who traveled to Dallas from Florida, who summed up the youth vote\u2019s disillusionment with the elegance only a teenager can muster: \u201cI don\u2019t like that it\u2019s become America\u2019s job to find bad people and get rid of them\u201d . One can only imagine how much fun it is for young conservatives to explain to their friends that they voted for the anti-war candidate who immediately started a war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The numbers tell a brutal story. While 84% of Republicans overall say they support Trump\u2019s war conduct, that number plummets to 49% among Republicans aged 18 to 29 . In other words, nearly half of young Republicans think their president is doing a bad job at the one thing he promised to avoid. A Pew poll found that among those who \u201clean\u201d Republican, only 22% strongly approve of how he\u2019s handling the conflict .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When 20-year-old Tiffany Krieger told the AP that her support for Trump had dropped from a \u201clevel 10 to a 5 over the war,\u201d she might as well have been speaking for an entire generation . \u201cIt seems like the love for him is plateauing. We see our party splitting apart,\u201d she said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the older contingent\u2014the ones in the golden sequins\u2014were doing exactly what you\u2019d expect: insisting that actually, Trump didn\u2019t start a new war, Iran started it 40 years ago, and also the president is a \u201cwise leader\u201d who \u201cdoes what works\u201d . Joe Ropar, 70, a retired defense contractor, offered the kind of logic that keeps defense contractors in business: \u201cHow long were we supposed to wait? I think he did what he had to do when he had to do it\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your argument for a war is that you\u2019ve been waiting 40 years to have it, one wonders why the urgency struck in the middle of a term supposedly dedicated to domestic renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Influencer Rebellion: When Your Biggest Fans Turn on You<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the rank-and-file split was bad enough, the real trouble for Trump is brewing in the right-wing media ecosystem that helped make him. For years, the conventional wisdom was that MAGA influencers would follow Trump into the gates of Hell. As it turns out, they\u2019re drawing the line at\u2026 Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Megyn Kelly, and even Alex Jones have all expressed varying degrees of opposition to the war . Matt Walsh, the Daily Wire\u2019s resident moral scold, put it bluntly: \u201cI can\u2019t take the gaslighting, guys. I really can\u2019t. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Erik Prince\u2014the founder of Blackwater, a man whose entire career has been built on privatized war\u2014expressed disappointment, telling Steve Bannon\u2019s War Room podcast that he didn\u2019t think the Iran war was \u201cin America\u2019s interests\u201d . When the guy who literally made money off the Iraq War thinks you\u2019ve gone too far, it might be time for a strategy session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House\u2019s response to this influencer revolt was\u2026 well, let\u2019s call it \u201con brand.\u201d Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went into defensive mode, offering a laundry list of justifications. But it was Trump\u2019s own dismissal of the criticism that really captured the moment. When asked about Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson\u2019s opposition, Trump told journalists that \u201cMAGA is Trump\u2014MAGA\u2019s not the other two\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a remarkable rhetorical move: when your most loyal supporters question you, simply declare that they are no longer loyal supporters. By this logic, anyone who disagrees with the Dear Leader was never MAGA to begin with. It\u2019s the political equivalent of breaking up with someone and insisting you never really liked them anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranians for Trump<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no CPAC would be complete without a cast of characters who make you question everything you thought you knew about American politics. This year\u2019s entry: the \u201cPersians for Trump\u201d contingent, who showed up in force to support the war .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing matching T-shirts and carrying signs reading \u201cMake Iran Great Again,\u201d these Iranian-American activists chanted \u201cThank you Trump\u201d and \u201cregime change for Iran\u201d throughout the conference . For them, the war is personal\u2014a chance to liberate their homeland from the Islamic regime. Nima Poursohi, sporting a \u201cPersians for Trump\u201d shirt and a MAGA hat embroidered with \u201cPersian Excursion,\u201d explained that \u201cAmerica and Iran have been at war for the last 47 years, since the revolution started. Donald Trump did not start this war\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is, to put it mildly, a unique interpretation of the last five decades of U.S.-Iran relations. It also highlights the strange coalition Trump has assembled: a group of Iranian exiles who want regime change, a bunch of older conservatives who trust Trump implicitly, and a generation of young MAGA faithful who feel betrayed. It\u2019s like the island of misfit toys, if the toys were all advocating for different foreign policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Speakers Who Almost Spoiled the Party<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the CPAC stage itself couldn\u2019t escape the fractures. While much of the programming was standard conservative fare\u2014Franklin Graham framing the war in religious terms, panelists warning about Sharia law in Texas, the usual culture war grievances\u2014there were moments where the mask slipped .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman, warned the crowd that a ground invasion of Iran \u201cwill make our country poorer and less safe\u201d . \u201cIt will mean higher gas prices, higher food prices,\u201d he added, \u201cand I\u2019m not sure we would end up killing more terrorists than we would create\u201d . This from a man whose entire political brand is built on being the most aggressive defender of Trumpism imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even Steve Bannon, who has spent years building the MAGA movement into what it is today, used his CPAC appearance to issue a warning. \u201cYou have to be convinced that this is the right thing to do, particularly now that we are on the eve, potentially, of the insertion of American combat troops,\u201d he told the audience . \u201cThis is a debate that has to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Bannon is the voice of caution, you know you\u2019ve entered some kind of political Bizarro World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Man Who Wasn\u2019t There<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most telling detail about CPAC 2026 was who didn\u2019t show up. Trump himself was notably absent, giving the conference a wide berth . According to the Washington Examiner, the president was \u201cgiving it a wide berth\u201d\u2014a decision that seems curious for a man who supposedly has a movement united behind him .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absence was felt. When your signature event becomes a place where your own supporters are openly questioning your decisions, and the conference organizers are pleading for unity from the stage, maybe it\u2019s better to be elsewhere. Mercedes Schlapp, a CPAC organizer, opened one session with a direct appeal: \u201cWe cannot divide from within. Let\u2019s stay united. They want us divided\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The plea had all the effectiveness of a lifeguard yelling \u201cStop drowning!\u201d at someone who\u2019s already underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Humiliation of It All<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where does this leave Donald Trump? On paper, he\u2019s the president of the United States, commander-in-chief of the world\u2019s most powerful military, and the leader of a political movement that has reshaped American politics. But at CPAC 2026, we saw something different: a leader whose movement is fracturing, whose promises have been exposed as empty, and whose supporters are starting to wonder if they\u2019ve been had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humiliation isn\u2019t just that Trump started a war after promising peace. It\u2019s that he\u2019s losing the very people who made him. When young conservatives tell reporters they feel \u201cbetrayed,\u201d when Bannon is talking about the need for \u201cdebate,\u201d when Erik Prince is questioning whether the war is in America\u2019s interest\u2014these aren\u2019t the signs of a movement consolidating power. They\u2019re the signs of a movement eating itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian-American activists chanting \u201cThank you Trump\u201d might be the happiest people at CPAC. For them, the war is a liberation. For everyone else\u2014the young conservatives who believed in America First, the influencers who thought they were building a new non-interventionist right, the older supporters who trusted Trump to know what he was doing\u2014the mood was considerably darker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp admitted, \u201cI think people trust President Trump, so I don\u2019t think there\u2019s been any shaking of his support. But I think underneath there\u2019s concern about where does this lead\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your supporters have moved from \u201cWe love you\u201d to \u201cWe trust you, but we\u2019re worried,\u201d you\u2019re not leading. You\u2019re being humored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uncomfortable Truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the reality that CPAC 2026 revealed but couldn\u2019t quite acknowledge: Donald Trump has become exactly what he promised he wasn\u2019t. The anti-war candidate is now a war president. The \u201cAmerica First\u201d populist is now defending a conflict that has all the hallmarks of the neoconservative adventures he built his brand opposing. The man who mocked the Bushes for getting us stuck in the Middle East is now presiding over a conflict with \u201cno clear endgame\u201d and \u201cno clear objective\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger conservatives at CPAC understand this. They\u2019re the ones who will be sent to fight this war. They\u2019re the ones who will pay the higher gas prices. They\u2019re the ones who will inherit a movement that promised them one thing and delivered another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Bolick, a 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan veteran who voted for Trump in 2024, put it most bluntly: \u201cHe\u2019s lied about everything\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve lost a veteran who voted for you, and you\u2019re celebrating with Iranian exiles wearing \u201cPersian Excursion\u201d hats, you might want to check your political compass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPAC 2026 was supposed to be a celebration of conservative power, a pep rally for the midterms, a chance for the faithful to gather and reaffirm their commitment to the MAGA movement. Instead, it became something else entirely: a public autopsy of a movement that promised to be different and ended up being exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The golden sequins were there. The merch was there. The chants of \u201cUSA\u201d were there. But underneath all the pageantry was the unmistakable sound of a coalition crumbling. The young vs. the old. The influencers vs. the White House. The promise of America First vs. the reality of Operation Epic Fury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump has humiliated himself in many ways over the years. He\u2019s been impeached twice, indicted four times, and lost the popular vote twice. But watching your own movement turn on you at your signature event, while you\u2019re too busy to show up? That might be a new kind of humiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one attendee told the AP, \u201cIt seems like the love for him is plateauing\u201d . At CPAC 2026, it looked like it was falling off a cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only question left is whether anyone in MAGA world will admit it before they\u2019re all wearing \u201cPersians for Trump\u201d shirts and trying to explain why the anti-war president is asking for $200 billion to fight a war with no end in sight. Something tells us they\u2019ll find a way. After all, in the world of MAGA, you can believe anything\u2014as long as you don\u2019t think about it too hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
