It's so funny to see some now saying they actually never really supported Trump, he's an asshole.
Maybe the Epstein files mess and Iran conflict failure has started the Deprogramming!!!

Quote:The real cost of Trump’s $1bn-a-day war.
A shaky ceasefire has raised hopes that the US-Israeli war with Iran could end before it reaches worst-case scenarios that include nuclear escalation and global recession.
The effect of 41 days of high-intensity conflict has already been felt around the world, with the economic fallout affecting everyone from farmers in Australia and schoolchildren in Laos to motorists in Britain and the US watching fuel prices go up.
But it is those countries directly involved in the fighting and on the front lines that have suffered the heaviest losses and could take years to recover.
USADonald Trump’s intervention has incurred spiralling costs in manpower, materiel, and US installations across the Middle East. In the first six days of the war alone, the cost to the US was estimated to be at least $11.3bn (£8.4bn).
At least 13 US soldiers have been killed and more than 300 have been wounded in action, according to the military.
American military bases, air defence systems, and embassies across the Gulf region have been pummelled by Iranian missiles and drones, with at least 17 sites hit in the first fortnight of the conflict, according to a New York Times investigation, based on satellite imagery.
The list includes a drone strike on a base in Kuwait that killed six soldiers, and an attack on the US embassy and CIA headquarters within in Saudi Arabia that caused serious damage, US officials told The Wall Street Journal.
Some of America’s most advanced air defence systems have been targeted in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, with high-end stockpiles rapidly depleted.
An assessment by the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) in London calculated last month that coalition forces – which includes allies across the Gulf protected by US air defences – expended 1,294 munitions in the first 16 days of the conflict, at a cost of approximately $26bn (£19bn).
Research by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) think-tank found that the total cost of the US campaign may already be between 22.3bn and $31bn (16.6bn-£23bn), including the deployment of military assets to the Middle East and the destruction of equipment.
Tom Fletcher, a senior UN official, alongside numerous analysts have estimated that the US was spending around $1bn a day on the war.
AEI researcher Elaine McCusker, a former Pentagon budget official, said a full accounting would only be possible after a complete end of hostilities. She told the Financial Times that “some destroyed systems will take years to replace”.
"Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning."
