The author is clueless about Trump's base. Trump's base were non-interventionists - Trump campaigned on a non-interventionist platform. Since taking the office Trump has become a puppet of the neocon's and the Israel lobby. Forget "America First"  - now it is Israel FIRST. 

Trump has done a 180 on just about everything he campaigned on. During the campaign he rightfully railed against the barbaric Saudi Arabia - the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world. As President he is treating the Saudi's like they are some great ally while attacking Iran for the "crime" of supporting Assad. What is wrong with Iran helping Assad wipe out ISIS? When was the last time you heard about a Shiite jihadist target the west? It has NEVER happened and yet Trump and the entire Washington establishment are in bed with Sunni terrorist groups including ISIS and Al Qaeda. We are living in an upside down world. 

Trump is an idiot if he thinks his base will not notice this betrayal.
