Right? I've seen the excuse that "people love a redemption arc" for why there was so much support for the guy and just... What arc? He campaigned on expanding the military and increasing veteran benefits and said he was against stupid wars that don't benefit everyday Americans. Not unjust wars, or forever wars, or just American wars in general. So why did he phrase it like that? Easy, because he favours what he sees as smart wars that do benefit everyday Americans. He still wants America to plunder as much of the world as it can get away with, he just wants more of the plunder for himself. He didn't even hide it.
