Donald Trump’s war on Iran has all of the appearances of being the final straw for the so-called “bro” influencers who helped propel him to his 2024 election victory and now are increasingly turning on him, MS NOW reports.That is according to the “Morning Joe” panel after watching a clip of massively popular podcaster Joe Rogan blasting the president for military adventurism and wondering why he is blowing up one of his central campaign promises.As Rogan told his listeners, “It just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? He ran on no more wars, end these stupid, senseless wars and then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it,” he added.According to MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough, Rogan’s turn against Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.“You know, it's so interesting, Willie [Geist], Joe Rogan, the scales fall from his eyes,” Scarborough observed. “You got Andrew Schultz, who was sort of, you know, MAGA-curious or was he a MAGA supporter? Whatever he was, he's not anymore; like he's firing on all cylinders against [Jeffrey] Epstein, against Iran. A lot of these guys, you know, that were supposed to be the avatars of the bro culture. They're going, yeah, no.”"It's really starting to add up,” Geist agreed. “I mean, Rogan, you start with criticism of the Trump administration on the Epstein files, then some pretty loud criticism on immigration policy, on ICE, on the actions ICE is taking and now on this war in Iran, saying none of this is the package that we saw in Donald Trump and voted for; this violates all of that.” "So at some point, it's not a one-off. At some point, the whole thing isn't what you voted for,” he pointed out. - YouTube youtu.be

A stumbling answer by Donald Trump’s lead international negotiator on Tuesday was the subject of both amusement and disbelief on MS NOW, with the entire panel wondering if the Trump hire, a commercial real estate investor, is way over his head.During an appearance on CNBC, Steve Witkoff, who is the lead White House diplomat in negotiations dealing with both the war in Ukraine and the US war on Iran, was asked about alarming reports that Russia is giving assistance to Iran on targeting US servicemembers.Witkoff replied, “I can tell you that yesterday, on the call with [President Trump], the Russians said they have not been sharing,” paused and added, “That’s what they said. So, we can take them at their word, but they did say that.”He then curiously continued, “So, I, you know, that's a better question for the intel people, but let's hope that they're not sharing.”After playing the clip on “Morning Joe,” an amused Joe Scarborough immediately pounced, looked at the camera and lectured, “You know, diplomats, you got to work with both sides. But I will just say, if Steve is watching, Steve, they lie. This is what Russians do. They think it's the smart move to always lie, lie. That's the very nature of it. They are disruptors. They count on American suckers to think that they're going to win them over by force of personality. It never happens.”“Steve Witkoff just said, I have to take Vladimir Putin at his word. I have to take the KGB agent at his word. And remember, Steve Witkoff is the lead negotiator in the Russia-Ukraine talks, among many other places,” he added.Co-host Willie Geist offered, "Just remember, as we think about why, perhaps we're not giving as much aid as we should be to Ukraine in the eyes of many people. The guy leading the negotiations says you have to take Russia at their word.” - YouTube youtu.be
