They went to international organizations like the UN.

They explained what they were doing.

They tried to communicate and educate the public and get the public on their side.

Trump has done almost none of that.

He seems extremely confident of the support he has among the MAGA base, even though this is an intervention, the kind of which he campaigned against.

One of the reasons he got the support

from the public.

But when asked about this, when asked about whether the MAGA base would continue to support a foreign intervention like this, he said, MAGA loves everything I do.

MAGA loves this.

MAGA is me.

Supported the raid.

Yes.

Supported the raid.

But when asked, do you think that America should continue to have boots on the ground or run Venezuela, then the polling is different and might change over time.

As Danielle said, it's very early.

I think it will have an effect, but not the way that you might think about it.

Foreign policy is generally not something that people vote on, especially in midterms.

And right now we know that economic issues are top of mind for voters.

They care about prices of health care and groceries and education.

And every day that he spends talking about Venezuela or about what he might do to Greenland or Colombia or Cuba or Mexico, it's a day that he's not convincing people that he has an answer to their economic problems.
