Trump's "die-hard" supporter announces resignation: unable to go against his conscience to support the war against Iran
Trump's supporters are being torn apart by the US-Iran war.
On the 17th, Joe Kent, director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, announced on social media that he would resign from his position, stating that "he could not go against his conscience to support the U.S. war against Iran."
Kent also released a public letter to Trump. In the letter, he did not hide his disappointment with Trump and explicitly stated that this war was "launched under the pressure of Israel and Jewish lobbying groups."
According to American media, Joe Kent is a staunch supporter of Trump, who participated in the Iraq War and completed 11 combat deployments, and was called a "true patriot" by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. After entering politics, Joe Kent has repeatedly defended Trump's claim that the 2020 election results were stolen, even going so far as to clash with others.
Kent's sudden resignation and public letter caused a big stir among Trump's die-hard supporters. Many people began to openly question: Is this war against Iran for "America First," or for "Israel First"? The former group of military veterans who viewed Trump as their leader and the new conservative forces are now becoming increasingly divided.
Additionally, Kent's resignation quickly stirred up waves in the American public opinion field. Some long-time Trump supporters' accounts started spreading a sensational but rapidly spreading theory: Israel may be planning a false flag operation similar to 9/11 to get the U.S. more deeply involved in the Middle East war and prevent it from withdrawing, thus creating public opinion and political pressure sufficient to completely bring down Trump.
