Trump's MAGA base wrestles with Iran strikes launched by an 'America First' president

President Trump's decision to join Israel in bombing Iran has left many of his supporters feeling abandoned, particularly as the operation, named 'Operation Epic Fury', was launched without congressional approval and has already resulted in the deaths of six U. S. service members. While Trump officials acknowledge the political risks involved, they maintain that the military action aligns with his 'peace through strength' campaign philosophy and is intended to be short-term.
