Trump's New Media Army

As the United States is once again stuck in another war in the Middle East, it is worth remembering many people voted for President Donald Trump, and some of his most implacable conservative foes opposed him, precisely because they thought he might avoid costly nation-building projects.

While the Never Trump movement was somewhat eclectic, it was always disproportionately hawkish. Some of the original Never Trumpers returned to the Republican fold when Trump turned out not to be a Trojan horse liberal. Others more animated by character concerns—things like Trump's nasty parting shot at the former special counsel Robert Mueller—never came back. And we are learning in real time what certain prominent people would pick if forced to choose between opposing Trump and supporting a war in Iran.
