Trump's supporters back his decision to pull out of northern Syria
LAKE CHARLES, La. —As the consequences from President Trump’s decision to withdraw some American troops from Syria became clearer, and as some congressional Republicans continued to be heavily critical of the decision, Trump supporters at a rally said they still support the decision.
“I agree with him,” said Bill Harold, a 67-year-old veteran who said he doesn’t always agree with the president, but he does on the Syria question.
“We’ve been there long enough. We’ve done what we’re supposed to. Now, let the people take over and do their thing,” Harold said. “If they can’t? Hey. You had your help. We taught you how to fish, you oughta be able to eat.”
Harold wasn’t alone in his sentiments among those who watched Trump rally voters for the Louisiana governor’s race, which will be held Saturday. Their support suggests that while the decision has been unpopular with Republican lawmakers with more traditional, hawkish views on foreign policy, it has been greeted positively by the president’s most ardent supporters — the ones he is counting on to turn out in droves as part of his reelection strategy. Trump campaigned on a promise to pull troops out of conflicts abroad as part of his nationalist platform and his supporters argue that his Syria decision is consistent with what he said he would do on the campaign trail and since becoming president.

If Trump told them to jump off a building they'd do it.
