Trump's War in Venezuela Stuns His Own Supporters

President Donald Trump has launched a surprise military invasion of Venezuela. This action has shocked many of his political allies. For years, Trump and his "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement promised to avoid foreign wars. "I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars," Trump said after winning re-election in November 2024. His supporters in conservative media strongly backed this "America First" pledge. They have traditionally opposed U.S. military intervention in other countries. Now, these same supporters face a contradiction. The president has ordered an invasion while also threatening actions against Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland. Some prominent MAGA media figures are openly criticizing the move. One called the decision confusing, saying "It doesn’t make any sense." This shows a rare split between the president and his core supporters over his new foreign policy.
