Nicolle Wallace rips MAGA-friendly media for painting Trump as a 'victim' in Iran disaster

(MS NOW) "Nicolle Wallace blasted conservative media personalities on Tuesday’s 'Deadline: White House,' accusing high-profile figures like Megyn Kelly and Laura Ingraham of making excuses for Donald Trump to absolve him of responsibility over his role in the Iran war."

"Wallace played a clip from Monday’s 'The Ingraham Angle,' during which the Fox News host questioned whether Trump was 'fully briefed about the risks' of the military operation in the Persian Gulf region."

“ 'Was he then able to take it all in and understand the complexity of this — how complex it could actually get and further possibilities of casualties or other damage, the difficulty of dealing with these people — or was he told this would be relatively quick in and out?' she asked."

“ 'It’s quite convenient,' Wallace said of Ingraham’s remarks. 'Apparently, Donald Trump is never wrong. But when he is wrong, when he gets something wrong, as the MAGA newscasters are starting to worry, maybe it must be someone else’s fault, right?'...Wallace said that in the eyes of Trump’s loyal backers, the president 'can’t fail.' Instead, 'he can only be failed.' "
