So when Laura Loomer leaned in close to the President two months ago and warned him that the American public was giving up on the Jewish State, his two-word reply landed like a thunderclap, carrying an ominous message for Benjamin Netanyahu.

'You're probably going to be the last pro-Israel President we ever have,' Loomer recounted telling Trump, in an interview with the New York Times. 

Trump, she says, replied: 'You're right.'

The White House pointedly did not deny the exchange. Spokeswoman Anna Kelly instead offered a boilerplate response that Israel 'has always been a great ally to the United States' and that its military was an 'incredible partner' in Iran.

Even Loomer, the far-right firebrand who has made it her mission to purge MAGA of anyone who wavers on Israel, concedes there has been a marked shift in public opinion, notably among Republicans.

She went so far as to suggest Israel should accept the elimination of US military aid, currently a $38 billion ten-year package set to expire in 2028. 

'I don't foresee the GOP being as explicitly pro-Israel anymore,' Loomer told the Times. 'Whether the criticism is legitimate or not, or whether it's foreign-funded or not, it's there. And perception is reality.'

Loomer said she has been courting donors on the importance of Israel as she prepares to launch a newsletter, The Loomer Rumor, which will focus on 'opposition research' to expose right-wing figures she brands the 'Woke Reich.'

Chief among her targets is former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who disavowed Trump over the war and last month apologized to his listeners for endorsing the President.

Facing skeptical questions from MAGA-aligned college students about US support for Israel, JD Vance recently suggested his support for Jerusalem is not unequivocal.

'Israel, sometimes they have similar interests to the United States, and we're going to work with them in that case. Sometimes, they don't have similar interests,' he said at the University of Mississippi in October.

During a book tour event in Los Angeles in March, likely 2028 Democratic presidential candidate Gavin Newsom suggested Israel was heading toward being 'sort of an apartheid state' before walking the comments back.

Trump remains adamant that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon but is increasingly pressing for a peace deal as the Republican Party faces crucial midterm elections in November. 

He is on the verge of securing a sweeping truce with Iran that would lift US sanctions, free billions in frozen assets and open a path to uranium enrichment, mirroring the Barack Obama pact he spent years trashing.
