> This is ... unsupported by the vast majority of the US population

The people that voted for the current president tend to support whatever he tells them to support, so I don't think that's true.

Trump got 77 million votes in 2024, which is 44% of the eligible voting population and a mere 32% of the US adult population. Trump's current approval rating is 39%. Even among those who support Trump overall, presumably a non-trivial portion don't support this particular action.
