Please elaborate in great detail how this war with Iran has affected you or will affect you personally to make you very disappointed.

No one should have to elaborate that because it’s very obvious. It has driven up the cost of living and it has added a lot to our national debt.

To the latter though, I would point out that a North Korea could be seen as a much worse threat…

Not even close. North Korea does not have an ideology that mandates it take over the world and convert everyone to Islam.

Hell, I was done the minute he said he didn't want my support anymore.

For those that kept defending his War and not releasing the Epstein Files and now giving the "good" illegals amnesty.

Their support is very cult like.

The Iran war is irrelevant to which administration I support. I support Trump because he's not a communist like the democrats.


I'm still perplexed why people are having trouble making this^^^ important distinction.

Hey all you MAGA/America First patriots who oppose the Iran shite Show, let's show OMB we're not happy by not voting in the midterms, or better yet let's vote DSA, that'll show OMB.

There were millions of previous Trump voters who did just that^^^^

Trump said he’d declassify the UFO Files…and later reneged and said “if you knew what I know you wouldn’t show them either “.

I think anybody with a functioning brain knew that the Mullahs were very close to having ICBMs and the ability to make a nuke within just a few days. The Jews know everything. They pay very good and it’s just a matter of how much before someone sells out.

Trump knows that the buck stops with him. He wants to be ‘The Greatest’ and there was no way he let a suicidal, America hating death cult get nukes in his watch. Neither would I. Too much on the table. Jihad is all that matters to a Jihadist.

What specifically are you perplexed about with regards to us moderates in the R party? You mean to tell me over the last half year you didn't see any of this coming? Just business as usual with the direction Trump was going in?

I hear what you're saying. But if Trump wanted to be the greatest, then why did he never consult Congress after the first cease fire? Why did he not take that chance at transparency and sell it to the American people. All he did was re-start the War Powers 90-day executive clock and it turned a lot of us away from this war. Simultaneously you had a large number of broken promises and rising costs in this timeframe which added to being disenfranchised by him and this Admin. Juxtapose this to how Reagan would have handled it and I'm sorry, but it's a night and day difference.

The question I have is for those that voted for Trump is - was your vote for Trump in part or entirely because he would use military force to attack Iran?
If POTUS's could predict the circumstances within their Presidency, virtually every one ever elected would take that deal in a heartbeat.

Trump is the only president to have the balls to deal with Iran. The answer to your question though is no I did not vote for Trump because he would attack Iran. I voted for Trump because of immigration and crime, drugs killing all our children. I went to another funeral today for a young kid that OD.

I didn’t vote for Trump. I cast my vote against Kamala, and still stand by that decision.

And his sitting VP had the balls to put it in writing that this war was the primary reason for a Blue tsunami a week ago. So my question is, where does Trump go from here? Seems to me that this is a pretty good indication to tuck back in those huge glorious balls and listen to his VP and the American people, but what do I know.

Before I declare myself an Iran war supporter or not. Can you describe to us some of the battles from this war? That will greatly influence my response. TIA.

You self-important douche. You don’t know anything. Another floating in the wind loser worried about temporary gas prices.

Losers like you lost your long term vision. Or you have accepted you will never be wealthy. Sad.

Iran had it coming. Trump is the only one with the balls to do it. I voted for him to protect all American citizens no matter the cost and not just in our hemisphere.

No, I didn't vote for that. I've never voted for anyone because I thought they would attack a foreign country.

Trump attacking Iran is also not a reason to put in democrats and throw away all the good he has done. I prefer to build on the good instead of destroying everything because it's not as nice as I wanted.

As with every candidate, I vote for the totality of their policies. I don't pick one thing and make a decision based on that.

I wasn't thrilled about the 2nd attack, but I also don't get pretending that some missiles and a blockade are anything close to Iraq/Afghanistan.

I understand not liking the attack. What I don't get is the extreme overreaction and willingness to ignore everything else.

I think Trump is a tad naive or over confident re his belief that all people who play the game at that level (think Khameni, Putin, Xi, et al) will go for his ‘deal’. Kinda like “make them an offer they can’t refuse”, and they won’t. Those Jihadists and Communists are TRUE BELIEVERS, beyond what Trump could imagine. Not everyone can be bought or muscled. Some people are willing to die for their beliefs

We’ll soon see if Americans are that principled, or whether they chose “security over freedom “. Hell, the unmotivated masses who don’t prosper via. Capitalism don’t feel free anyway; so they will take that guaranteed check in the mail, and free time that the Dems offer for power, control and DEI social justice. I can remember Pelosi telling them that “you’ll have time to live your dream and you can be an artist…”. That is a paraphrase but I heard it and knew exactly what she meant. They bought in, and are now voting. Such is the naïveté of idealistic youth. I used to be that way. Still am really. But I’m a very hard worker, by nature. I love what I do. Not all are so blessed. Thank the Lord “But by the grace of God there go I”.

What else are we ignoring? Let's take interest rates as an example. Trump ran on a platform of lowered interest rates. In an election year, his brand spanking new chairman of the Fed actually raised rates due to Trump's inability to show that growing GDP should trump (pun intended) inflation. Not a random year, but a midterm year. Warsh has given no clear indication that we will have lowered rates even within the next year or two remaining on Trump's watch. TLDR: 2026 has been a trainwreck where the hits keep on coming.
