Trump doesn't give a flying fnord about their life.
& once Trump's dictatorship's instantiated, he's enforcing his "Greater North America" war on Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline, WHILE..
enforcing Civil War Part2: confederate-vengeance, WHILE
enforcing imperial-expansion wars throughout the rest of the Americas.
Asia's abandoned.
Europe?
China will simply tell whomever's running Russia: "you rampage on Europe all you can, & we'll supplant you in gov't & industry, in Russia, but you get to play tzar until you die" .. and the ruler(s) of Russia/"Russia" will accept that, because they're otherwise helpless/hobbled/powerless, & asserting-power's an addiction.
China gets the West grinded-down, without Chinese blood spilt, AND..
China can then concentrate on grinding-down Asia.
No help from the West.
No help from anybody.
Modi's India, which bet the whole farm on Russia standing with them against China .. has nothing, then.
ClimatePunctuation'll trash India while they're trying to fight China ( which is probably part of why China won't ditch coal, tbh ).
EVERYthing in this world's current-vectors is setting-up Regional Consolidation Time(tm).
7-ish years of each region getting .. not-diverse.
( I expect that whomever it is who ends-up owning the Middle-East, they will then set about owning Africa, and I don't expect that to be Netanyahu or Iran. )
no still iran but you see he stopped it so now its ended and its a new thing with iran and a new 60 days. this is how he thinks. you know. like a mother trumpin trumphole.
It means that he wasn't going to get an AUMF from Congress in his 60 day window, which is what I pretty much expected. Now it sounds like he's going to try to continue the blockade portion (i.e. not the bombing) but argue that imposing a blockade doesn't constitute deployment of troops, which I suspect isn't going to fly if it comes to court. But we'll see how the legal and political maneuvering plays out.
But I have a deeper question. Why would the US maintain bases in other countries ?? What impact it has on the treasury ?? And how does it increase the national prestige ???
Military force projection. To maintain an imperial hegemony, you need some kind of presence in the places you're looking to control. That control in turn can be used both for economic advantages (for the imperialist, mind you, not for the exploited) and to establish proxies as defense against other imperialists. The former benefits the treasury; the latter national security.
Both fuck over the other countries, but you can guess how much the imperialist powers care about that.
I take it to mean that trump failed, lost, and made things worse for the world and his own country, so now he doesn't want to play anymore because he is being exposed as a big fat loser.
This is all for show. He's violating the constitution because he can. If the war went to the current dysfunctional congress for approval, it would be a mix of "anything for you" and "it's too late to stop now."

Most of the heavy-lifting in voting against Harris seemed to come down to
It wasn't voting for Trump, rather, it was voting against Harris, that put Trump in power, from what I can see.

You forgot to include that if he starts bombing Iran again, then that's a "new, separate" war, not restarting the same old one.
