Poll: Trump voters support military intervention in more countries

[In It to Win It]

President Donald Trump’s MAGA base, known for its aversion to U.S. involvement in foreign wars, has embraced the administration’s aggressive use of military force abroad and would strongly support more.

A new POLITICO poll reveals 65 percent of Trump voters support the U.S. taking military action against at least one of several potential target countries, including Iran, Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, China and Mexico.

And one stands out: Iran. About 50 percent of Trump voters backed military intervention in the country, the most of any foreign target. That number rose to 61 percent of respondents who described themselves as “MAGA Republican” Trump supporters.

The poll data offers a clear view of a political movement that’s adapting its “America First” views to account for Trump’s expansive use of American military might, from orchestrating the capture of Venezuela’s leader to bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Trump’s latest threats against Tehran only underscore the shift in the GOP. The president said Wednesday on Truth Social that a “massive Armada” was heading toward Iran to “rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence” if Tehran doesn’t agree to nuclear negotiations. A new attack would be “far worse” than the summer strikes on nuclear facilities, he warned.

3. These dumbasses cannot maintain a consistent position if their lives depend upon it.

The Dotard campaigns on no foreign entanglements.

They parrot that to the sky. It is touted as a reason they vote for him.

Then he does the opposite, or talks of it.

All of a sudden they are interventionists.

7. The numbers don't actually add up to majority support from MAGA.

With 16% supporting an attack on Iceland, we have the base number that will support absolutely any insane thing Trump decides to do. That 16% can pretty much be ignored because they would probably support him bombing their own state.

The maximum is 50% for attacking Iran. And 50% does not a majority make.

From there, he doesn't even get close to majority support. Coming up with that 65% support bombing some damn place doesn't actually tell anything meaningful -- it just makes a nice headline.

Mexico 32%
Columbia 30%
Cuba 28%
Nigeria 27%
China 25%
Taiwan 24%
Panama 22%
Greenland 21%
Iceland 16%
