GRAPEVINE, TEXAS — Joseph Bolick feels betrayed by President Donald Trump. And it’s because of the war in Iran.
The 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran voted for Trump in 2024. But at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gathering this week he sported a hat emblazoned with “America First” — a slogan Trump championed during his campaign, along with the promise not to start new wars in foreign countries.
“He’s lied about everything,” said Bolick. “If you go into a war where there’s no end game, how is it going to end? There’s no clear objective.”
So the war is the straw that broke the camel’s back? Not that he’s a rapist or a convicted felon? Not that he let Musk destroy the government? Or that ICE is running rampant kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities? Or that he illegally sunk foreign boats in international waters? Or that he is trying undermine the constitution they hold so dear? Or that he raised the cost of living? Or he killed a million Americans by pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?
Yeah, but he’s just getting what men should be getting, the concept of ‘rape’ doesn’t make sense since women shouldn’t have a say in it
That’s just those libs falsely persecuting him you see.
The biggest thing was this super liberal sounding US AID where we help people who should be lifting themselves up by their bootstraps
You mean those spanish speaking people who don’t speak American good enough? Or the libs that deserve what they got for being libs?
Yeah, those were some of them non-Muricans again, good riddance
Yeah, but imagine how much that’ll own the libs!
Covid wasn’t real, and if it was, it wasn’t his fault and I’m sure Fauci is somehow to blame…
Well, that’s where we are now, my 10 mile to the gallon vehicle now costs hundreds of dollars to fill up, and that is what matters. All to help out some jews that MAGA largely otherwise looks down upon.
No, it’s not.
This is just the 100th iteration of “this time they will really start to criticise Trump”. And then the cult gets new orders and instantly they will fall silent and shift their opinion as instructed to match their new reality.
These people really took 1984 as an instruction manual.
Yep. I’ve stopped thinking any straw will break the camel’s back of maga. They seem willing to accept literally any behavior from him. Every one of these articles about disillusioned trumpers never seems to have a basis in more than one or two anecdotal examples. These headlines exist only to provide copium (or maybe hopium) to the rest of us.
That’s entirely a matter of perspective, or more precise here: timing.
That wide outrage really exists. But it is very short-lived and just a case of “waiting on new instruction how to think”.
War affects their pocketbook in a more concrete way.
These people have always been selfish.
him being a pedophile racist dictator with a long documented history of lying and grifting was a good thing for his supporters. they saw him as relatable.
the problem for them is that gas prices went up. so now it affects them a little bit.
And the young Republicans boys don’t want to be sent to war ! They may be stupid but they know who gets sent to wars.
