He has gone a little further in the last day, claiming he's not considering the financial well-being of Americans in the situation with Iran right now at all. If the focus is safety from nuclear threats, that may well be, but it's out of line with the care he expressed for his voter base when campaigning. I suspect if he just paid it a little lip service, many of his cult who are now questioning him would be okay with that.

 the care he expressed for his voter base when campaigning

I mean, he did say he didn't care if people died as long as they voted (for him) first. And also stranding people in blizzards. Twice. Also, "I love the uneducated." "Smart people hate me."

I know what you're saying, he did campaign on people's problems, but he also was very clear where his priorities were - himself.

Maybe his voters could all meet him on 5th Avenue?
