‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA men (www.politico.com)

GRAPEVINE, TEXAS — Joseph Bolick feels betrayed by President Donald Trump. And it’s because of the war in Iran.

The 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran voted for Trump in 2024. But at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gathering this week he sported a hat emblazoned with “America First” — a slogan Trump championed during his campaign, along with the promise not to start new wars in foreign countries.

“He’s lied about everything,” said Bolick. “If you go into a war where there’s no end game, how is it going to end? There’s no clear objective.”

The thing about that is that you can't prove it to be true in any way they will recognize as valid, and not a ploy by his opposition to undermine his electoral chances.

With policies that cause high gas prices or other impossible to ignore effects, there is no way to cry "fake news" because there is credible other target for the blame: his person is the president, and the gas prices suck, full stop. Their understanding of these global and federal issues is very simple and lacking nuance, so they can't be convinced that the president can't just go into the Oval Office and turn down the "gas prices" knob under the Resolute Desk.
