I've thought this for quite some time. I say it now because of what I observed on r/the_donald and here over the course of the last 24rs.
The entire day yesterday I spent all day watching r/the_donald and voat news explain, in detail, how obvious the false flag was and how we, the people who voted for him anyways, voted for him NOT to go to war. Within half an hour of the strikes it was painfully obvious what the new "Trump supporter" narrative was going to be. You got called a pussy or a snowflake for saying this bothered you, and there were calls for you to get banned from the Donald. It was clearly designed as far as I can tell.
I'm a Trump supporter btw, but 50% of the reason I voted for him was to avoid exactly what he just did in Syria. I can't find anywhere to express and discuss this without it being derailed by exactly the same tactics that sahriablue use.

Trump deeply impacted and inspired a lot of people who never believed in politics before.
Clinton might have to pay for that kind of loyalty, but what if people actually like Trump and they go out of their way to support him?

Genuine Trump supporters are a whole other issue. I'm talking about this: Leading up to the strike both vote and the_donald did nothing but explain/ document the false flag and why we voted for him not to do this. Withing half an hour that changed. The 180 degree turn around on a dime was just too methodical for it not to be obvious that someone/someones had a narrative to push.

Active members of the Donald understand that Trump is usually playing 8D underwater backgammon. Even moves he makes that initially seem bad often turn out to be good or have a bigger purpose behind them. That's a high energy forum with smart and dedicated people. Initial strong disappointment turned a bit more rational and accepting of the possibility of there being a bigger reason for doing this. Was Trump right in doing that? Time will tell, but he's usually been proven right when things looked their bleakest
Does Trump have a social media team or PR agency of some sort? Even as President, I'd be surprised if he doesn't, even a small cereal company or manufacturer tries to monitor social media and do all kinds of social media ads to manage public opinion.
Does that mean Trump has a shariablue type of public relations management team that actively spends big bucks shilling for him and creating thousands of accounts to do so? The CIA probably does, but do you really think the deep state is playing on his side?

They don't care about "his side". They'll use him and his supporters when it's convenient for them. Which is now.
As for "8D chess", look, honestly? I think all the X-D chess stuff was just a way to explain advanced (but normal) politics to Trump supporters who had tuned out of politics for up to the past 30 years or more. I've been following politics since I was 5 for the past 2 decades and what people call whatever-D chess I honestly just see as politics. He may be really good at it, but it's not something special.
