Trump's Conservative Opponents Consider Forming a Third Party

A group of prominent conservative figures, formerly aligned with Donald Trump, are reportedly laying the groundwork for a potential third political party in the United States. This nascent movement stems from deep dissatisfaction with Trump's foreign policy decisions and a perceived failure to uphold his "America First" promises, particularly regarding an end to foreign entanglements.

Sources indicate that a meeting took place at the Maine estate of conservative commentator Tucker Carlson. Attendees included Congressman Thomas Massie, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent. Greene expressed her disillusionment, stating, "We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all." She declared, "The movement has begun."

“

We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.

Joe Kent explained that the gathering aimed to strategize against potential U.S. involvement in conflicts, such as one with Iran. While acknowledging the significant challenges of establishing a third party, the group concluded that the current political system is failing and requires a new approach. Despite supporting Trump in the past, these figures have grown critical of his administration's continued military operations and foreign policy alignments, further straining their relationship with the former president.

There are still many practical things to do. Running in the name of a third party is a big challenge. It is not impossible, but it is very difficult. However, we have come to the conclusion that the current system simply does not work and that we must find something new to save our country.
