Six in the group believed he still had plans to bring down the Iranian government.<\/div>\n<div>The group largely supported the \u2060war during its early days, believing U.S. strikes were necessary to deplete Iran&#8217;s stockpile of long-range missiles and cripple its nuclear program.<\/div>\n<div>Nearly four months later, with Iran politically emboldened and many of its military capabilities still intact, 14 \u200bof the voters criticized some aspects of the memorandum of understanding announced on June 14. Most were skeptical that Tehran could be trusted to honor any agreement and dismayed by the prospect of granting it billions of dollars \u200bto rebuild.<\/div>\n<div>The $300 billion fund will be a private investment vehicle rather than a government-funded plan, though exact details have not been released.<\/div>\n<div>Juan Rivera, 26, said Trump \u201ccriticized his predecessors about negotiating with terrorists, and he\u2019s basically done the same exact thing.&#8221;<\/div>\n<h2>TRUMP&#8217;S MIDTERM ENDORSEMENT NOW &#8216;KISS OF DEATH&#8217;?<\/h2>\n<div>Rivera still plans to support mostly Republican candidates in the midterms. But he said that when he volunteered recently to canvass Latino voters in his community near San Diego, many fellow Trump supporters were so disappointed by the president&#8217;s handling of \u200bthe war, among other issues, that they felt unmotivated to back his party in November.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;A lot of people say: &#8216;Why should I vote when the president&#8217;s not doing what he promised?'&#8221; Rivera recalled.<\/div>\n<div>Asked for comment, a White \u200bHouse spokesperson told Reuters that Trump&#8217;s achievement &#8220;on the battlefield and at the negotiating table is nothing short of remarkable and will strengthen American security for many years.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Steve Egan, 65, a promotional product distributor in Tampa, soured on Trump in early 2025 \u200cafter tariff-triggered price \u2060hikes hurt his business. From the outset, Egan was skeptical of the president&#8217;s rationale for the war and upset that it further jacked up the price of gas and other goods.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Right now it doesn&#8217;t seem like it&#8217;s been worth it to go through all that,&#8221; he said, noting that the stated goal of regime change &#8220;didn&#8217;t happen.&#8221; His opinion of the president is now so low, Egan said, that Trump&#8217;s endorsement would be &#8220;the kiss of death&#8221; for him when deciding which candidates to vote for in the midterms.<\/div>\n<div>Brandon Neumeister, 37, a Pennsylvania state corrections worker and former National Guardsman, said the conflict seemed only to have benefited oil companies. Even before the war, though, Neumeister \u200bsaid he was unlikely to vote in November because \u200bhe was disgusted with politics.<\/div>\n<div>Robert Billups, 35, of \u2060Washington state, was cautiously optimistic the peace deal would hold. But he believed the war had spawned more hostility toward the United States rather than making the country safer.<\/div>\n<div>Vice President JD Vance, tasked with leading U.S. negotiations with Iran, has fallen in his esteem, and Billups said he no longer feels preferential toward Republican candidates. Come \u200bNovember, &#8220;whoever has a better strategy this time, I&#8217;m gonna vote for them regardless of their party,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<h2>&#8216;A BIGGER PLAN&#8217;<\/h2>\n<div>Though Trump has been adamant about wanting \u200bto end the war, six \u2060of his more loyal voters expressed hope that he still had secret plans to bring Iran to heel.<\/div>\n<div>Kate Mottl, 63, a secretary at a municipal office in the Chicago suburbs, said that \u201cdestroying\u201d the regime in Tehran seemed like the only way to avert future conflict.<\/div>\n<div>It would be \u201cvery disappointing\u201d if Trump refrained from further military intervention, Mottl said, adding that she believed &#8220;there\u2019s a bigger plan here.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Rich Somora, 62, an engineer in North Carolina, agreed that Trump probably had more aggressive \u2060plans up his \u200bsleeve. &#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine that he would have gone through all this and not found out a way to get rid of those \u200bmullahs,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div>According to diplomats and analysts, however, the war has only strengthened the grip of Iran&#8217;s clerical rulers. If they remain in power for another month, Somora said, he&#8217;ll start to worry.<\/div>\n<div>In Prescott, Arizona, 74-year-old retiree Joyce Kenney said she supported lifting sanctions and believed \u200brestoring Iran&#8217;s ability to trade with other countries would ensure its leaders honored the truce.<\/div>\n<div>But the reconstruction fund was a bridge too far: &#8220;That&#8217;s not our responsibility,&#8221; she said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3080\">Rare light aircraft crash in Beijing kills pilot, injures 13 people<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3078\">GameStop pledges to pursue its takeover offer for eBay despite rejection<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3076\">Iran says it hits US-linked targets as Bahrain reports drone attack<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s interim agreement to end the war with Iran has dragged down his approval rating and garnered criticism across the political spectrum \u2014 even from his own supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7],"class_list":["post-3082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
