On the March 3 edition of Newsmax’s prime-time show Finnerty, host Rob Finnerty made some critical comments regarding President Donald Trump’s war with Iran. His remarks are surprising given Newsmax’s consistent stance of supporting Trump’s agenda and interests, and breaks with the general support for the war among other Newsmax’s prime-time hosts.
The first segment of Finnerty’s show presented a series of chyrons noting that the conflict is “not helping Trump’s popularity” and stating that there is “no real plan for ending” the war.
“Over 77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump because he was not only the America-first president, but for the first time we had a campaign where ‘no new wars’ became a central theme of an election,” the host declared, before playing clips of Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard repeating that slogan on the campaign trail in 2024. Finerty continued, “And after 14 months, that is exactly what we have — a new war.”
