Republican Senator Lindsey Graham sharply criticized President Donald Trump's brokered 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, warning it could empower Hezbollah rather than weaken it. The truce, effective April 17 after weeks of fighting that killed over 2,000 and displaced a million, has exposed rare divisions in Trump's inner circle, with Graham demanding full Hezbollah disarmament and congressional review before any lasting deal. Trump remains optimistic, posting on Truth Social about potential historic Israel-Lebanon talks at the White House in weeks, possibly his 10th major accord, while Israeli PM Netanyahu vows no troop withdrawal from an expanded southern Lebanon security zone. Hezbollah leaders reject direct negotiations, insisting power speaks through resistance. Meanwhile, fractures deepen in the Republican Party as Trump's presidency enters lame duck territory amid economic woes. Chuck Todd on The Chuck ToddCast notes Trump's cult of personality grip slipping, with more Republicans identifying as party loyalists over MAGA amid criticism of his Iran and Middle East handling. Polls show one-third might follow Trump if he splits off a new party, but growing distance from his policies signals eroding influence even before his term ends. No major RNC events or candidate announcements emerged in the last three days, but these tensions highlight shifting stances on foreign policy security versus diplomacy.
