“But he should be impeached and removed for this one—and not on some ridiculous Nancy Pelosi-type grounds. Of course, the Congress will never do it, because they’re all a bunch of corrupt hacks. This is the one thing they support.”
Smith minced no words in condemning what he described as a complete reversal of Trump’s core promises. “Donald Trump should be impeached and removed for this. All of his supporters should turn on him. It’s the absolute betrayal of everything—everything that he ran and campaigned on, and everything that he stood for.”
He also predicted the fracturing of Trump’s base, saying it wasn’t just about his own disappointment. “And I will say, despite the fact that Donald Trump supporters have been labeled like a cult following—and that certainly is true for a percentage of his supporters—he is going to lose his coalition over this.”
For many in the liberty movement, Trump’s foreign policy stance was a non-negotiable. Smith seems to suggest that whatever recent decision Trump has made—though unspecified—is perceived as a complete surrender to the war hawks. His tone was unapologetically fierce.
“I don’t just speak for myself when I say there are a lot of us who simply will not go along with this. So it’s just a devastating mistake,” Smith warned.
WATCH:
It’s rare to see such a sharp break from someone who, just months ago, was encouraging fellow libertarians to hold their noses and vote Trump. Now, that same figure is demanding impeachment, not out of partisan spite—but because he believes the man he once supported has sold out.
Smith’s criticism may not carry weight with Washington elites, but among independents, anti-war conservatives, and libertarians, it signals a growing crack in Trump’s once-loyal coalition.
As the 2024 campaign trail heats up and Trump’s influence continues to dominate GOP politics, the backlash from former allies like Dave Smith could be a sign of deeper unrest brewing beneath the surface. Whether others will follow Smith’s lead remains to be seen—but the message is clear: support is not unconditional, and betrayal has consequences.
