Trump says his voters loved the Venezuela attack — here’s what they really think

In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump claimed that his supporters were "thrilled" by the failed US military operation against Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro. But did they really love it? We took to social media to find out.

• We scoured Twitter and Facebook for comments from self-identified Trump supporters on the topic of the Venezuelan attack.
• What we found was a mix of surprise, concern, and downright confusion. Many expressed dismay at the failure of the operation and the potential consequences for US foreign policy.

We also spoke to some Trump supporters who shared their thoughts on the matter. "I didn't know about it until now," said one voter from Ohio. "If we're going to do something, I want it to be done right." Another supporter in Texas expressed concern: "This is just another example of how our government can't get anything right."

While opinions on the Venezuelan attack were divided among Trump supporters, many shared a sense that the US should focus on its own domestic issues rather than intervening in foreign affairs. As one voter from Florida put it: "We've got enough problems here at home to worry about. Can we please just fix our own country first?"
