Ahead of his decision to bomb three of Iran’s nuclear facilities, President Donald Trump watched Fox News as guests on the network urged him to join the Israeli bombing campaign of the country, according to The New York Times.
Trump’s inner circle was monitoring how the president’s top supporters were reacting on social media to the possibility that the United States would enter the conflict. Aides were following former Fox News host and podcaster Tucker Carlson, who is strongly opposed to striking Iran. Trump has publicly and privately raged at Carlson’s remarks.
