Trump has stated he would not rule out deploying US ground troops to Iran if deemed necessary, emphasizing his disregard for public opinion polls. Following a recent attack, Trump asserted that his actions were justified and claimed that most Americans support him, despite a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicating only 27% approval for the attack. Trump argued that preventing "crazy people" from obtaining nuclear weapons is crucial, suggesting that the consequences of inaction could surpass those of regional conflicts. He differentiated himself from other presidents by not categorically ruling out ground troop deployment, stating, "we may not need them," but leaving the option open if required.
