That was to end the war in Yemen. Not even remotely the same thing. This is Trump's baby. Going after Iran. And enough people are terrified of his impetuous nature that they dont fully trust him moving forward.

They shouldn't. Trump is unfit for office and a danger to the country and the world.

People could have said the same thing about Obama for different reasons. Doesn't make your statement true.

Under my administration, we will NEVER make excuses for America’s enemies – we will never hesitate in defending American lives – and we will never stop working to defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism!
I guess Iran just doesn’t get it, do they?🤷‍♂️💥

Were we expecting anything less than terror attacks from them, this is their nature. They've been hitting us via proxies for decades.

If they were stupid enough to go after political targets it would solidify backing for America and would usher in their end to power. If they go after anything it will be our troops via proxies.

Something someone said to me a long time ago has popped back into my head, and it bears repeating:

The office of POTUS is really just Scapegoat-in-Chief. If something goes right, then it's their cabinet or Congress or the guy before who really made it happen. But if it goes wrong, it's all on them and no one else.

In my short life so far, it's held true for every President I've lived under from Carter to Trump.

Despite his blunders - and there were some, Kennedy always remained popular ... at least that's what I saw, heard, and read during his time. In the Eisenhower days it seemed like this was just a friendlier, simpler place - less polarized and with more respect for government; I think Vietnam trashed that. People were polarized when it came to Johnson probably more hawk/dove than even R/D. Nixon got about the same treatment as Trump ... the press and his detractors were against him before he even got in the door; his Vietnam turnaround was never really acknowledged as positive, and the way congress undercut everything is still inexcusable and cowardly. Carter was a fool, but he had his die hard admirers. Reagan could act the part and probably got more credit than he deserved. Bush I and Clinton were nothing great - just the normal R/D squabbling to me except Clinton in the WH was like a Beverly Hillbillies rerun in many aspects. Bush II was when things got really mean and the lines completely drawn; I don't think there will be any going back to civility ... at least not in my lifetime.
