The longer the war continues and the more casualties that happen on the US side, the
harder it is going to be for Trump to maintain the support, even of some of the Republicans in
Congress and Republicans across the country, and certainly some independents. The reality is
the president didn't prepare the American people for this war in the same way that
President Bush prepared the US for Iraq. Now, in the end, it didn't actually matter. It
became an albatross around his neck, the Iraq War did for President Bush. For President Trump,
there are some differences. No boots on the ground make it a little easier. You're not
going to see the same type of images coming out that you did from the Iraq War. But
nevertheless, if you start to see the death toll increasing, or just the casualty and
injury toll increasing among US soldiers, You're going to get a lot of people, especially
within the MAGA movement, who fundamentally have not been nearly as supportive of this type
of foreign adventurism in the Middle East, and thought President Trump had promised during the
campaign not to.
