Trump supporters don't condem Trump starting a war with Iran. Why?

I believe the problem is identifying all Trump supporters as being the same. In my experience (unscientific mind you), I find that about 1/3 of Trump supporters supported him in the election because he expressed a desire to cease the endless wars. I believe those are all or almost all now "former supporters."
2/3 of his base was clueless, now 100% of his base is clueless as the anti-war "wing" has been rapidly turning critical due to his about face.
I think we will see this expressed in polls if/when the war actually starts. Either way, Trump is vulnerable to an actual pacifist candidate (if there even could be such a thing these days in Merica)
