The military parade on Trump's birthday was a show of strength. A week later, he ordered a major military intervention in Iran. This was cheered by some, but alarmed others who believed in his isolationist promises.
Trump's actions disregarded public opinion and Congress, violating the Constitution. Democrats were shut out and unable to effectively challenge him. Republicans were largely supportive, making it unlikely they would intervene.
Trump's actions aligned with traditional Republican foreign policy, despite his unconventional image. His isolationism has always been selective, with both "Dove" and "Hawk" tendencies.
His first term saw missile strikes and expanded military operations. His second term included a bombing campaign in Yemen with significant civilian casualties.
Vice President Vance, an isolationist, supported Trump's actions. Trump has called for peace, but the strikes' impact remains uncertain.
The Trump who parades is one thing; the Trump who deploys troops and bombs is far more dangerous.

The lack of debate and accountability in Congress during his presidency was alarming.

Trump’s selective isolationism only serves to enrich the military-industrial complex.

It’s essential to push back against a president who sidesteps Congress and public opinion.
