Trump literally ran on ending wars platform. While anybody with a brain knew this was not happening, his base certainly expected it.
this platform was absolutely under the auspices that bombing iran to prevent nuclear proliferation was part of it
they are two separate things and were always presented this way by the trump camp
HE ALREADY BOMBED IRANIANS IN HIS FIRST PRESIDENCY i cannot stress this enough and also said he would do so again this was no secret and his base absolutely knew he was going to do this fuck on my street they set off fireworks when he bombed iran all the little trump flaggers were out with bottle rockets and sparklers
Again, it's very clear that his base wanted isolationism, and they're now very upset at him for bombing Iran. I don't know why you're unable to acknowledge this basic fact of the situation.
The problem with this discussion is that his "base" is being treated as a monolith when the fact of the matter is there are both significant numbers of isolationists and warhawks who are diehard Trump fans. I don't know what the breakdown is for the percentage of each one, but I think it's probably safe to say that the majority of Trump's base doesn't care about his choice to bomb Iran. They'll cheer him on as being tough for uhmuricah when he does drop bombs but pretend they always said they're "against unnecessary war" when he babbles his isolationist rhetoric.
Most of his base is vastly more concerned with his backtracking on his promise to release the Epstein files than they are about Iran.
From what I saw the fact that he failed to pull out of Ukraine and started bombing Iran did rankle a lot of maga, including very prominent ones like Carlson. They also connect this all to Epstein and Israel now as well. It's all become one huge betrayal for the people who thought he'd stop the wars and drain the swamp. There was a good interview on the whole thing with Max Blumenthal
