Right-wing populists turn on Donald Trump after missile strikes!
LONDON, England (PNN) - April 7, 2017 - Many former Donald Trump supporters have turned on the president after his decision to retaliate against the (Syrian President) Bashar al Assad regime after false claims that it had conducted a chemical weapons attack. Nigel Farage, Milo Yiannopoulos, Katie Hopkins, Right-wing vlogger Paul Joseph Watson, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall, and UKIP donor Arron Banks are among the Trump supporters who have been disappointed by him.
Farage said, "I am very surprised by this. I think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this morning and scratching their heads and saying 'where will it all end?' As a firm Trump supporter, I say, yes, the pictures were horrible, but I’m surprised. Whatever Assad’s sins, he is secular."
He said Britain should not get involved in any further strikes, commenting, "Previous interventions in the Middle East have made things worse rather than better."
Other Donald Trump supporters have been more forthright in their comments.
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall said, "The (Fascist Police States of Amerika) bombing of Syria last night was rash, trigger happy, nonsensical, and will achieve nothing. I hoped for better."
Paul Joseph Watson said, "I guess Trump wasn't 'Putin's puppet' after all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet. I'm officially off the Trump train. It's been fun lads, but the fun is over. I'll be focusing my efforts on Le Pen, who tried to warn Trump against this disaster."
Amerikan right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, who campaigned for Donald Trump, wrote, "Those who wanted us meddling in the Middle East voted for other candidates. Trump campaigned on not getting involved in (the) Mideast. Said it always helps our enemies and creates more refugees. Then he saw a picture on TV."
Trump campaigner Milo Yiannapolous wrote, "There comes a day in every child's life when his Daddy [Trump] bitterly disappoints him."
UKIP donor Arron Banks labeled Donald Trump's choice "stupid" and said the president should have stayed out of the Middle East. He tweeted, "You may be correct but destabilizing another country on the border of Lebanon and Israel (is) just nuts. ISIS must be loving this."
Columnist Katie Hopkins asked, "Who stole my president?"
