The More Trump gets Backed into Corner.

7. Well, I think that popularity bump might only be temporary

- If a popularity bump happens at all.

Iraq and Afghanistan was popular initially, but well before the 2008 election, it became a huge liability for bush and the republicans. As wars drag on, public opinion seems to wain.

Just as a thought, but I wonder in WWII how support for the war in Europe would have gone if the allies got their butt handed to them during the Battle of the Bulge and it became apparent we were going to lose the war in Europe? I don’t believe public opinion would ever wane in the war against the Japanese as that was a direct attack on us (and I’m sure the idea of losing a war to an Asian nation also hit some racial nerves, like it did in Russia after they lost the Russo-Japanese war to, of all things, an Asian nation).
