This is now going to get interesting. His people are very divided on this with the old wing and new wing.
My guess is this:

Israel wanted to do this shortly after 10/7, but Biden (or whoever was the secret President at the time) objected to it.

Trump took office on 1/20/25, and shortly thereafter, Israel approached him and asked for him to go along with this attack in the middle of the year. Trump agreed, and Israel spent several months preparing for it. They settled on June 12 as the attack date, and so it began.

This is probably the favorite. I’m just trolling the Trump the peacemaker crowd and Trump is strong crowd.

If he did know and chose to look weak and basically beg Netanyahu not to do this instead of appear strong and like he endorsed it, that’s a real testament to how powerful and large the segment of the right is right now who are actively posting we aren’t dying for Jews and Iran has a right to protect itself.

Other than Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz, pro-Iran or at minimum don’t intervene even if Israel is on the verge of extinction is the overwhelming majority of right leaning voices right now. If he needed to do theater and appear like Netanyahu defied him rather than draw the ire of that crowd, then I hope Israel can deal with Iran themselves. I assume they can.
