Troubles for D. Trump in his close circle. March 2026
Forecast: "A Glimpse into the Future from September 2025" (published on September 26, 2025, link)
S. Dragun:
It is very important that February 2026 will mark the beginning of a complete shift in Trump's relationships, opinions, and actions. Serious troubles await him around February 25, 2026. His position could become very precarious. His standing may be eroded from within his inner circle...
Regarding Trump's position on the international stage, this was extensively covered a few days ago in the confirmation of "Another Plot Related to the Collapse of NATO." It can be noted that NATO allies have demonstrated their inadequacy for the US, resulting in "Trump's position being eroded from within his circle of NATO 'friends'"...
Turning to domestic politics, it is also worth mentioning that Trump's position has indeed become very unstable. His standing is being undermined from within his inner circle...
Let's focus on just some of his inner circle (and not just the inner circle).
72 Hours of Silence from Vice President Vance
The prolonged absence of public statements from US Vice President JD Vance following the start of the American military operation against Iran has become a topic of discussion in Washington's political circles. According to the Financial Times, this pause has sparked speculation about potential disagreements between him and the president, prompting the White House administration to provide clarifications.
Vance made no public comments about the military campaign for nearly three days. For an active social media user and one of the president's most fervent supporters, this silence stood out.
According to the newspaper, observers were struck by the fact that Vance limited himself to reposting materials from official government accounts. This raised questions about the state of his relationship with Donald Trump. The vice president did not offer his first comment until several days after the operation began, appearing on Fox News. During the interview, he stated that the United States has a wide range of options for military action, adding that the operation could last a short time or significantly longer.
The Financial Times notes the stark contrast in the rhetoric of the politician, who has built his career on criticizing American military intervention in various parts of the world.
In an attempt to demonstrate unity, the administration released photos on February 28 showing Trump observing the attack from his Florida residence, while Pence was at the White House. A vice president's spokesperson explained that he was fully involved in the planning process and oversaw the operation from the situation room. According to the paper, the White House categorically denied any rumors that Pence had been removed from key decision-making.
Tucker Carlson - a representative of old American aristocracy
Tucker Carlson, a prominent US journalist, who played a significant role in Donald Trump's election, was fired from his team for not supporting the war in Iran. After a rocket attack on a girls' school in Mina, he stated that America is not a country "worth fighting for."
Renowned public opinion leader in the U.S., Tucker Carlson, who personally contributed significantly to Donald Trump's success in the recent presidential election, has become persona non grata in the White House. A trifle? It could be the prelude to a fundamental political cataclysm that will either change America beyond recognition or destroy it.
The day before, Carlson reported on his Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) platform and on social media that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal case against him. The reason was his journalist's interaction with Iranian citizens before the current war.
In particular, he expressed doubt about whether the U.S. would win the conflict. The TV host speculated that American intelligence agencies might stage a terrorist attack with many victims on U.S. soil to justify a ground invasion of the Islamic Republic.
The pursuit of Carlson is a symptom of the open rift between Trump and his voters. The journalist, known for his traditional Christian views, his rejection of globalism, and his opposition to the ultra-liberal doctrines of the local establishment, embodied the essence of the beliefs of the residents of "one-story America," who make up a large part of the electorate.
Carlson Carlson, due to his charisma and talent, still remains a public opinion leader among this segment of the population that has embraced Trump's informal movement, "Make America Great Again" (MAGA). Much of the Republican's campaign was built on the trust people had in the journalist. Even Trump's final campaign rally before the election took place in Arizona on October 31, 2024, as part of a show hosted by the TV presenter.
Now, the MAGA movement and Carlson himself are realizing (though he hasn't openly said so yet) that Trump and the forces behind him, namely the "deep state," have simply used conservative Americans as a voting base for Trump, behind their backs.
Throughout the entire election campaign, Trump ripped his shirt off, claiming he was against the liberal agenda, immigrants, forcing children into "gender freedom," same-sex marriages, and all the nonsense pushed by Democrats that offends any normal person. The Republican courted voters with promises to end all US wars abroad and bring the administration's focus back home.
He even threatened to expose high-ranking pedophiles. In one of his 2024 election rallies in Los Angeles, Trump stated that under Joe Biden's administration, 340,000 child immigrants were "missing and possibly murdered," brought into the country without their parents' accompaniment.
Just that one statement attracted millions of law-abiding Americans to his cause. In general, Trump said what people wanted to hear.
Real opinion polls (what's called, for official use) showed that in the US, there are significantly more people with traditional views than liberal ones. And Donald Trump's goal was to sway them to his side.
Meanwhile, this active segment of the American electorate was ready to take up arms and bring down the establishment if anyone but Trump was declared the winner of the election. MAGA believers were convinced that the 2020 election was rigged in Biden's favor, and they weren't about to accept another deception.
Now it's emerging that Trump, according to Jeffrey Epstein's files, is himself a pedophile. It's just not being announced in court.
Americans no longer need to be told that the strategic release of evidence of Trump's criminal sexual behavior is a job for Israel. The leader of the Jewish state and the American-Israeli lobby are blackmailing the US president, forcing him to use the military in a war with Iran in exchange for not releasing new evidence of his pedophilia.
It is no secret to anyone that Trump is being used to implement Talmudic plans to destroy Iran and its people, which is a prelude to building the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the enthronement of the Jewish "messiah" - the Mashiah. This circumstance suggests that if the situation continues to deteriorate for Israel, the country may force the President of the United States to use nuclear weapons against the Islamic Republic.
In the context of this general understanding, Carlson's statements are highly irritating to the President of the United States and his Israeli curators. That's why the CIA launched its investigation.
And this is dangerous for Carlson. He no longer has any "cover" in the form of Trump.
But the main thing is that the president's electorate has discovered a monstrous deception against themselves. Members of MAGA were ready to take up arms in the event of election fraud to save the country from foreign wars and pedophiles in power. Now it has turned out that Trump himself embodies this fraud. And no one can guarantee that members of MAGA will not take up arms tomorrow. A civil war could bury the United States as a state.
Joe Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCC) of the USA
Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the USA, and their involvement in military actions against Tehran at the end of February 2026 was a result of pressure from Israel and the pro-Israel lobby. This was stated on March 17 in his resignation letter by Joe Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCC) of the USA. According to him, the US administration has deviated from the foreign policy guidelines of the first term of Donald Trump's presidency (2017-2021) and the ideals he promoted during his three campaigns (in 2016, 2020, and 2024).
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of the US National Intelligence
US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard found herself at the center of a scandal during a hearing at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Responding to lawmakers' questions, she refused to directly confirm whether Iran posed an inevitable threat to America ahead of military action. According to The Financial Times, when directly asked by Senator John Ossoff if Iran's nuclear program was a real threat, Gabbard stated that determining such a threat was the sole prerogative of the president, not the intelligence community.
During a tense discussion, Senator Ossoff pressed his point, arguing that intelligence agencies should assess the level of danger to the country. "It's your job to figure out what poses a threat to the United States," he countered. However, Gabbard continued to evade a direct answer, reiterating the argument about the president's exclusive authority.
As the analysis of actions by U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard continues, her statement that the goals set by the U.S. and Israeli governments in the war against Iran are "different," adding that she doesn't know if Israel would support a deal with Iran, comes to mind. This is according to CNN.
"As seen from the operations conducted, the Israeli government has focused on neutralizing Iranian leadership and eliminating several of its members, apparently starting with the Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah, and they continue to prioritize this," Gabbard stated at a U.S. House Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats.
Former National Security Advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, John Bolton
Before the US House Intelligence Committee's hearing on global threats, former National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump John Bolton called for Representative Tulsi Gabbard to resign, arguing that the head of the National Intelligence Agency had previously disagreed with President Donald Trump's policies. Bolton expressed satisfaction with the recent resignation of the Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, and hoped Gabbard would follow suit.
Former British MP George Galloway
"If he (Netanyahu) is dead, who runs the US?" asked former British MP George Galloway on March 15, 2026, alluding to Israel's role in controlling Trump and the existence of (Epstein case) compromising material on him.
Former Director of the US Intelligence Agency Leon Panetta
"No one else is responsible": Former CIA chief believes Trump is to blame for the Iranian crisis. Former head of the American spy agency, Leon Panetta, called the current US president "naive" regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and stated that "the chickens are coming home to roost."
US Media Celebrities
President Donald Trump faced criticism from several celebrities after he launched an attack on the Iranian regime on Saturday afternoon. One actress ridiculed the irony of rebranding the Department of Defense, while others accused Trump of breaking his election promise to "end wars."
"'Department of War'. They weren't joking," wrote actress Carrie Kun from the series "Golden Age" on social media X.
Frequent Trump critics John Cusack, Rosie O'Donnell, Mark Ruffalo, Jack White, and Jane Fonda also weighed in after the US and Israel launched offensive actions against the Islamic Republic, killing several senior figures in the country, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
«Trump is escalating war - to distract from Epstein and fulfill Netanyahu's order, which he has lobbied for over 30 years. Is that not enough?» - wrote Kuesak on social network X.
TV Host Meghan Kelly
TV host Meghan Kelly deemed President Trump's attempt to change power in Tehran a mistake he will later regret.
S. Dragan in her prediction «Iran - Interference of Events and Forecast of a Broader Spectrum in the Near Future,» published on March 6, 2026, predicted that:
... by March 23, 2026, he (Trump) will take another very dangerous step or make a very alarming decision. Which will further destabilize his position and status...
Looking at Trump's situation in a more distant perspective, last September, S. Dragan noted:
...It must be said that spring 2026, especially the beginning of April, forces Trump to deeply and seriously reconsider his relationships with many people, his political views on partners, his financial strategy, making him philosophically inclined. By the end of April 2026, his situation becomes very difficult, and he may find himself in quite restrictive circumstances. His power may be questioned, and there will be sentiments in the US similar to rejecting the former leader and ending the former policy. It is very possible that impeachment could be on the table. And Trump's well-being may also be an issue. Additionally, he could be accused of odd thinking, to put it gently.
