"We said No More Foreign Wars, No More Regime Change! We said it on rally stage after rally stage, speech after speech. Trump, Vance, basically the entire admin campaigned on it and promised to put America FIRST and Make America Great Again. There are 93 million people in Iran, let them liberate themselves."
"But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Yeah sure. We have been spoon fed that line for decades and Trump told us all that his bombing this past summer completely wiped it all out. It's always a lie and it's always America Last. But it feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different and said no more."
"every time we've tried to do a regime change, especially in the Middle East, we just destabilize it."
Trump campaigned on an isolationist platform, promising to end foreign military interventions and regime change operations. However, his decision to strike Iran and kill Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei created significant tension within his political base. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Trump loyalist, publicly criticized the action, arguing it violated the core campaign promise of prioritizing America first and avoiding foreign wars. Greene questioned the recurring justification about Iran's nuclear weapons, claiming this rationale has been used for decades without resolution. Other Republican figures, including Reagan Box, also expressed opposition to the strikes, citing the destabilizing consequences of previous regime change attempts in the Middle East. The incident exposed a fundamental contradiction between Trump's stated foreign policy principles and his military actions.
