Deutsche Welle reported today: "One of US President Trump's main governing goals is to prevent the United States from being drawn into another 'eternal war.' However, as Israel begins a large-scale attack on Iran, Trump's promise is facing unprecedented tests. More troublingly, Trump's supporters are also polarized on this issue."
Trump praised Israel's attack as "very good" and boasted that "thanks to the United States, Israel has the best and most lethal military equipment in the world." Trump also claimed that unless Iran agrees to sign an agreement, Israel plans to launch more attacks against Iran.
Comment: Over the years, Trump, who has governed by the philosophy of "America First," has repeatedly flip-flopped on his political stance, often going back on his initial promises. In the conflict between Israel and Iran, while he solemnly promised to avoid war, he also lavishly praised Israel's attack as "very good" and publicized Israel's plans for more attacks. This is a complete about-face. It was expected that his supporters would be polarized, and those who have long followed him must feel confused and disappointed by the lack of consistency in his policies. His unpredictability not only reflects the chaos in his governance ideology but also makes America's foreign policy full of uncertainty. If this continues, it will not only damage America's international reputation but may also really drag the United States into a war they originally wanted to avoid.
