At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Grapevine, Texas, on March 26, 2026, disillusionment among young MAGA supporters with President Donald Trump was unmistakable.
Several attendees told reporters they felt betrayed by the president, citing his decision to join Israel in military operations against Iran. 'He's lied about everything,' said Joseph Bolick, a 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan veteran wearing a hat emblazoned with Trump's signature 2024 slogan, 'America First'. 'If you go into a war where there's no end game, how is it going to end? There's no clear objective.'
