In his first term, Trump had made a (horrible) deal with the Taliban to get out of Afghanistan, and Trump had shamefully abandoned the US's Kurdish allies in Syria. A reasonable person would think that Trump was pretty committed to reduce US involvement in the Middle East.
So many of Trump's "promises" were transparently false. Trump not going to war with Iran actually seemed pretty credible, at the time.
Maybe, if you didn't already see a psychopath who would do anything to stay out of jail?
I dunno. My Trump derangement set in early, you could say before it was even Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's hard not to blame people for romanticizing the various Ted Bundies who run our country
