Has Trump betrayed his base by waging war on Iran after pledging "no new wars" during his campaign?

There is a reason (lots, actually) why Trump’s approval ratings are in the cellar. But the rubes will clap to everything like seals and yowl about „4D chess“ and „very stable genius“.

Apparently, the base is pretty dumb:

You can't believe anything he says

[strateguy632]

Nope as trump explained Iran ALREADY started this war, not with a formal declaration but with attacks already Iran attacked American bases and civilians and consulates. Iran funded terrorists who attacked us U. S. and our allies. Not a new war but Old but Biden did nothing so now trump is trying to end it.

If Trump is so confident, why did he totally bypass a GOP Congress? Why did he claim back in August that Iran's capacity to make nuclear weapons was "obliterated"? Why is he constantly changing his story about why this action is being taken?

I guess I'm just curious if it leads to a recession 📉📉📉 that's what I'm watching apart from wondering about world peace ✌️🕊️

When has Trump NOT betrayed his base? Even the deportations are a betrayal if you understand what's behind them.

[Abbycado]

Multiple times, it seems.

And whatever happened to the forgotten wall? 🧱 👀 Shrug

Well yeah such as every president does.

But Trump seems to have a special gift for consistently and publicly lying to his base. I'm just amazed at how many fall for it, but polls (economy, Epstein Files, Iran, etc.) are indicating that they're beginning to snap out of their trance.

Eh so does every president. I've never seen a president who's actually done everything they said they would do in their speeches.
The elites just say stuff and maybe do one thing maybe two if lucky.
That's the problem with elected leaders they aren't held accountable enough to their words.

And they always say dumb stuff they can't actually be sure of. Since no president ever could promise no wars as that's not under ones control with everything changing.

Trump is taking his place as the least popular president in US history... well deserved... I will say that he's a master manipulator, but, on the other hand, his base is not overrunning with critical thinkers and members of the high IQ crowd... I guess dumb rednecks need a place to go too.
