Isolationist backers of the former reality show host, including Marine le Pen and Nigel Farage, condemn President for acting like 'policeman of the world'

Donald Trump's cruise missile strike against a Syrian air base has prompted criticism from a series of his high-profile libertarian supporters at home and abroad.

International figures including far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen and long-term Trump ally Nigel Farage broke ranks to condemn an attack Ms Le Pen called "horrible".

The attack also estranged figures across the American isolationist and libertarian right, including veteran senator Rand Paul and alt-right figurehead Richard Spencer.

1. Losing support by the minute.

Step down, Trump.

3. Crap.

Just great. Trump pissed off a bunch of nationalist maggots. Now what am I supposed to do?!!!

I got it! Sit back and watch them eat their own!

4. Trump has really stepped in it now.

His premature warjaculation is not winning friends or influencing people.

5. I heard a reporter say Trump will experience a sugar high from his first military strike.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. I was thinking that his excitement would be located

a bit lower.

[bdamomma]

7. Let him

eat a bag of Skittles instead of killing people if he needs a sugar high.

[Equinox Moon]

8. Agreed.

I think it was a metaphor for "getting-off" on it.

I don't believe any bombing. Warring is never the answer. Never.

19. Sometimes it is the only answer because there is no other option. Many examples

Just read history

25. Oddly enough, any problem has multiple solutions...

Oddly enough, any singular problem has multiple solutions, even when we as individuals are too small-minded or dogmatic to perceive them. Children often believe 2+2 has one solution, and we are all too often, astill children in our pretense of maturation.

Just read history...

26. As is often the case, your perceived intellect is lacking.

Just what non-violent option was there to Kim Il Sung's invasion of SK? Just give it to him?
Hitler? Sure, just give him all of Europe and not a shot would have been fired!
Should Lincoln have allowed the South to secede as well? Should the US have accepted slavery as an option to prevent war? All "options" according to you. Just not realistic ones

[William Seger]

9. Nobody knew how complicated this presidenting is (nt)

[mdbl]

15. sounds like GW Bush lol

[David__77]

10. Trump the warmonger is far more dangerous than the "nationalist" Trump

No progressive should cheer these developments.

[hibbing]

11. Isolationist backers of the former reality show host

I'm in the Twilight Zone or having a nightmare right?


Peace

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Can't have it both ways, Babe!

[athenasatanjesus]

13. Why did he have libertarian support in the first place?

He didn't run on much of anything that wasn't an expanse of government.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Because of his insistence on cutting "75% of regulations".

THAT is what the Libertarian loons focused on.

And he signed that E.O. to require elimination of 2 regs for every new one.

[7962]

20. Cut 75% of regs, but then likely replace them with others he likes! nt

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Exactly. nt

[Achilleaze]

14. republican-style Kabuki Theater flops

Apparently, nobody likes republican Draft-Dodgers who pretend they are ruff & tuff.

[oberliner]

16. They will come back around quickly

This will be forgotten in a week.

[HAB911]

18. WHAT?????

The turd with no coherent ideology, plan, or thought process?! Who would have thunk it?

[roamer65]

22. Pepe is near death.

[riversedge]

23. Kand REC

[Bradical79]

24. Lots of stupid Libertarians out there

Trump never looked Libertarian even at the shallowist glance.

[not fooled]

27. Yep

If you buy into "libertarian ideology" as a recipe for success in complex, interdependent modern society, by definition you are S*T*U*P*I*D.
