Talk of starting an Iran War will lose Drumpf some of his base.

tRump ran against these "stupid wars" of ours - and adding a much bigger stupid war is hardly going to be "the change" Trump followers thought they were voting for.

Could this mean an approval rating in the teens by Spring??

At that point President Bannon, er, Trump - may start looking very impeachable to McTurtle, Ryan, and the rest of the GOP herd after all.

Talk of starting an Iran War will lose Drumpf some of his base. (Original Post) ElementaryPenguin Feb 2017 OP
Drumpf doesn't need a base, He is going to do whatever the fuck he wants to benefit himself putitinD Feb 2017 #1
My experience is that his base would love to kill some more innocent Iraqis, and take their oil. Hoyt Feb 2017 #2

I agree the concept of blowing up middle eastern people ElementaryPenguin Feb 2017 #8
I don't doubt that... ElementaryPenguin Feb 2017 #5
It's OK. But, I think a lot of his base is fine with NUKING Iran. They are that vicious and stupid. Hoyt Feb 2017 #7
You may be right about that. They'd be more inclined to support a nuking... ElementaryPenguin Feb 2017 #9

and his cronies anyway. Then he will just tweet some crazy shit to distract, and the people will soon forget.

would appeal to his crowd - but the thought of yet another extended war - this will not be something that many will be welcoming. They've seen how little they actually benefit from our bullshit wars and self-manufactured conflicts.

The Afghan and Iraq wars are not popular among Drumpf voters.

They'd be cheering in the streets if we nuked Iran.

Trump supporters would love nothing more than a war with Iran, along with most on the reprehensible, war mongering right.

My brother voted for Trump and one reason was he thought Hillary was too much of a hawk and was going to get us in a war with Russia.

If Trump gets us in a couple wars I'll have to ask how that worked out for him.
