‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA men

While Trump’s decision to join Israel in attacking Iran has rallied war hawks and his older supporters, it has alienated many of the young men who swung toward the GOP in 2024.

All it would take is just 1 more Joe Rogan interview to bring them back.

More than 70 percent of those over 35 believe Trump has a plan

belief, thought with no basis in fact.

He lied about everything

If only we could have known this would happen ahead of time. Too bad there was zero warning for this!

These guys clearly don’t know any older contractors from Atlantic County NJ.

These young "men" didn't vote for Trump out of any policy.

They voted for him because they want to be rich rapists and pedophiles that get away with everything just like he is.

I think people are severely underestimating just how strongly incel ideology has plagued the youth.

Oh, you finally figured out he's been lying about everything?

Really, really fucking late to that realization, but better late than never, I guess.

Obama and Trump are just tragedy and farce; an outsider candidate promises to change things and then just does what his party always does when he's actually in office. Obama just did more Clinton third wayism, Trump just does more Bush neoconservativism.
