Trump: Does Not Rule Out Sending Ground Troops to Iran, Openly States He Doesn't Care About Polls

Odaily News According to the New York Post, Trump recently stated that he does not rule out the possibility of sending U.S. ground troops to Iran if "necessary," and declared that he "doesn't care about opinion polls" after launching the attack on Saturday. Trump said he believes he did the "right thing" and that most Americans support him—despite initial polls suggesting otherwise. He argued that allowing "crazy people" to obtain nuclear weapons would have even worse consequences than regional conflict. Trump said: "I have no qualms about sending troops to the ground. Unlike other presidents who always say 'will never send ground troops.' I don't say that, I say 'they might not be needed,' or 'if necessary.'" A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted on Saturday and Sunday showed that only 27% of Americans approved of the attack, while 43% opposed it, and 29% were unsure. (Jin10)
