No…Trump’s base didn’t want this. They might not pull back support if the deescalation holds (because he is scratching their other itches) but the MAGA base are definitely not excited about more war and conflict for the US.
MAGA is not neocon.
Hypocrisy or inconsistency have already never stopped the Republican party and they will most certainly not stop the most extreme version of it.

Almost every Trump voter I know voted for him as the lesser of two evils.
How anybody can consider voting for Trump as a lesser evil is just incomprehensible.
Is not prosecuting crimes more evil, or is jailing people more evil?
Is not trusting science more evil, or is trusting (at least partly) wrong science more evil?
Is hiring people with lesser qualifications more evil, or is letting structural inequality persist more evil?
Is letting evil persist in the world more evil, or is foreign military intervention more evil?
Those are not questions with objectively verifiable answers. The answers depend on your values system. If someone has answers that you disagree with, that does not inherently mean that their values system is stupid or immoral or wrong.
Note well: I'm not saying that Trump is a good answer. Even plenty of people who voted for him don't think he's a good answer. But some like his actions during his first term better than they liked Biden's actions.
She should have raised a flag…she had the media access to do it, but stayed silent. She put her party over her country.
