NEED TO KNOW
- MAGA faithful quickly rescinded praise for Trump’s Iran Airstrike after realizing the pilot was a woman.
- Social media users accused the president of “wokeness” for not using a “real man” pilot.
- Fox News openly questioned if female pilots represented “traditional American bombing values.”
A little twist that has rattled red hats from Alabama to Idaho, MAGA supporters abruptly withdrew their support for former President Donald Trump’s recent airstrikes on Iran—not because the mission failed or was controversial, but because one of the pilots involved was discovered to be a woman.
From Hero to Zero—Faster Than a Tweet
Initial responses to Trump’s announcement of a successful bombing mission against Iranian nuclear sites were overwhelmingly positive. MAGA Twitter users flooded timelines with praise, declaring Trump’s actions “bold,” “heroic,” and “very American.”
But enthusiasm evaporated faster than a Trump steak special once Fox News reported the devastating fact: the heroic pilot had ovaries.
“Wokeness” Accusations Fly
The backlash was swift and furious. Prominent MAGA influencers immediately accused Trump of bowing to “wokeness,” with hashtags such as #NotMyPilot and #MakePilotsMenAgain trending across conservative social media channels.
“We thought Trump was one of us,” tweeted user FreedomEagle1776. “But sending a woman to drop bombs? What’s next—vegan steaks at Mar-a-Lago?”
Tucker Carlson openly wondered, “Can a woman truly understand the essence of dropping democracy-branded explosives from stealth aircraft? These are traditional American values under attack.”
White House Attempts Damage Control
Attempting to calm the outrage, Trump doubled down on Truth Social, posting in all caps: “SHE DID GREAT—LIKE A 10 OUT OF 10 PILOT—YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY.” But the MAGA base wasn’t swayed. “Real men don’t use women to do their bombing,” said one Facebook user named “PatriotDadUSA.”
Unexpected Ally: Feminists?
Meanwhile, feminist groups were left confused but impressed. “We’re usually protesting Trump, not supporting him,” noted Women Against Literally Everything Trump Does (WALETD). “But honestly, if MAGA is angry, we might need to rethink our entire stance.”
For now, Trump’s latest aerial maneuver has ironically managed to unite MAGA supporters and feminists alike—in utter confusion. America awaits clarification on whether ovaries officially disqualify pilots from conducting airstrikes.

I always thought Trump liked his pilots how he likes his steak: overly tough and male
