CNN's John King traveled to rural Ohio – deep-red MAGA country – and found many of President Donald Trump's supporters were losing their enthusiasm.

The chief national correspondent spoke to disillusioned Trump voters in Portsmouth, and they told King that Trump's war in Iran and the downstream effects on the country's affordability crisis had soured them on his second presidency.

"I am pro-military, and I am – we have a strong need to protect this country," said Dale King, an Iraq war veteran and gym owner. "I know there are threats and I know there are enemies that want to see the downfall of this country. But you can't can't be flippant about war."

Hey John King I have an idea why don't you ask these assholes if they somehow, someway feel like they are responsible for this shit show and that BS wake up call metaphor..............because after all they are just like that asshole traitor sitting in the Whitehouse that he is trying to tear down and put his name on it..............this idea of having remorse for what they did.............is horseshit, they joined that bandwagon, they knew right from wrong, they knew that their guy was convicted of fraud and sexually assaulting a woman.................they were warned.............. and they were warned that their guy wanted to destroy this republic...................from day one ............and they still supported him.......
