  "textContent": "Donald Trump is now raging at a staunch ally, Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni. After she sided with the Pope’s criticism of the Iran war, which had infuriated Trump, he unloaded again, ripping her as “unacceptable” and seething that she “doesn’t care if Iran has a nuclear weapon.” Trump also called Meloni a coward for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, an analysis by CNN’s Harry Enten finds that Trump’s net approval among noncollege whites**—** a key part of his base**—** has nosedived by a _shocking 34 points_. Trump is also deeply underwater with these voters on something you’d think they would stick with him through: The war and his handling of Iran. It all looks like a new kind of low among this once-loyal constituency. We talked to _New Republic_ senior editor Alex Shephard, who’s been writing well about the politics of this war. We discuss why those voters are abandoning Trump, how Iran is splintering MAGA at home _and_ abroad, and the challenges JD Vance will face as heir to this fracturing movement.
