At what point would you regret Trump?

Bush and his Iraq war, Obama and his Libyan one, and nearly bombing Assad too just as ISIS was on the rise. They're all bad and this bipartisan foreign policy establishment needs to go.
I'm thinking more of our instigating the Iraq Iran war.
We supplied chem & bio WMDs to kill over a million Iranians.
This spawned bad relationships which plague us today & beyond.

When was this? Is that from the 50s and 60s when we helped spark the Iranian revolution or more recent. We make so many terrible foreign policy decisions I get confused.

Aye, there are so many.
Our trouble there really started when we overthrew their democratic government to install the Shah.
That turned out badly.
But we had to go back & make it even worse....

What I find remarkable is that Trump hasn't even been sworn in and people are already certain about what he will do. LOL...
The sky-is-falling mentality doesn't end with the campaign.
It's a gift which keeps on giving long after.

You know what it's like?
When I want to buy something with many aspects to consider,
& I research it....determine what to buy...find the best price.....
I buy it!
But then, I'm still in shopping mode.
I can't stop considering it.
So I'm still reading up on winches & the chemical structure of synthetic winch lines.
I could go on & on about the performance characteristics of long chain crystalline
polymers vs aramids.

@Quetzal is being a meanie pants and only letting the liberals talk about this, which I think would make for an interesting discussion.

Well, you notice he replaced his friendly tiger avatar with a drunken ,ill tempered alien avatar. Just sayin.:D

For those who supported or voted for Trump, whether enthusiastically or holding your nose, at what point would you regret voting or supporting Trump?

(1) If he doesn't repeal Obama care and replace it with something that is actually affordable that works.(2) If he doesn't bring jobs back to America. (3) If he raises taxes on the middle class. (4) If he gets us into another war.

Given the other alternative to Trump, never. I didn't want to vote for him, but I would rather die than vote for the pantsuited liar that was the alternative.

What is the deal-breaker for you? Do you have a deal-breaker?

I never voted Trump, because I'm in Britain. So I have some excuse if it all goes pear-shaped haha. For me, my main reason from last year for preferring a Trump win over Clinton was always foreign policy. As a Brit that was really most of what I was concerned about. Trump's Secretary of State pick has been encouraging in terms of warmer relations with Russia, so it looks like he's serious about changing the neocon policies of the past few decades.

However if Trump decides to continue with reckless and idealistic foreign interventions to topple regimes, not being in the interest of his country, then that would have removed my initial and main reason for supporting him, and I will no longer be able to see why I should continue to do so.
He regretted that he ever supported President Trump..
