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%
