Donald Trump promised peace through strength. Now TJ Walker argues that his Iran war has ended in a humiliating retreat, gas prices are climbing, and even longtime MAGA voters are questioning his leadership.

In this October 8, 2026 episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines the political fallout from Trump's military campaign against Iran, reports of American forces being pulled back, and the growing frustration among Republican voters.
