He claimed that a recent poll shows Americans are not against the Iran war adn expressed concern over Iran possibly obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump also highlighted that Operation Epic fury initially had broad GOP support, but that support has waned, and even his MAGA base is growing impatient.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Trump announced he would release findings about the Iranian attack on a Jordanian air base that resulted in three U.S. service members&#8217; deaths, whom he identified along with their hometowns. He stated that Iran will face meaningful consequences for their actions and praised the fallen soldiers, indicating that their loss will be avenged. Following his statements, Trump planned to fly to Atlanta to campaign ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> was adamant that the public supports his war against <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> as he traveled Wednesday to receive the remains of U.S. service members who died last week in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/middle-east\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"102\">Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump made the comments to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland before flying to Delaware\u2019s Dover Air Force Base, where the fallen service members are expected to return home later in the morning.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4658462\/trump-iran-war-dignified-transfers-poll\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>As Trump travels for dignified transfers, he says Americans aren\u2019t against Iran war<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4657789\/lil-wayne-praises-trump-building-ballroom\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Lil Wayne praises Trump for building ballroom<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4657750\/white-house-victory-lap-discovery-6600-noncitizens-new-jersey-voter-rolls\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>White House takes victory lap over discovery of 6,600 noncitizens on New Jersey voter rolls<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAmericans aren\u2019t against the war.
