Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Cheney, recall, voted for Trump twice, while her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, even appeared at a Trump campaign fundraiser in 2020.
47% : "What I do is authorize my military," Trump said as a way of explanation, meaning: He got the lawyers out of the way and told the armed forces to do as they please, at whatever cost to foreign life.
43% : It's no different than Trump calling his former ally Chris Christie "fat": It's an easy, superficial attack that many critics would say applies to him too. Consider Iraq:
38% : If it were up to her we'd be in 50 different countries," Trump claimed.
37% : As The Washington Post reported, Trump, as president, was shown a video of a CIA air strike in Syria, in which the operator opened fire only after the target walked away from the home in which their wife and children resided.
30% : Having established that Trump himself is a militarist -- one actively encouraging his allies in Israel to ignore the haters (from human rights lawyers to President Joe Biden) and "do what you have to do" to Gaza and Lebanon; one who argues that might makes right and that Ukraine should have never even tried to fight off Russia -- we can safely dismiss his fantasy about Liz Cheney as being about matters of war and peace.
27% : Both only broke with Trump after Jan. 6, 2021, when they saw him incite a mob and try to seize power after losing a free and fair election.
24% : In 2000, per CNN, Trump was advocating a preemptive strike.
13% : In this telling, Trump is not calling "for Cheney's execution," as the Drudge Report put it, but merely engaged in some opportunistic criticism, if not rank projection.
13% : They may well be "hawks," but that is not their issue with Trump and it is certainly not Trump's real issue with them.
8% : Speaking with Tucker Carlson, an ex-Fox News anchor who recently interviewed a Holocaust denier and claimed that he was physically attacked by a "demon" -- such is the state of American conservatism -- Trump lambasted former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., as a "deranged person" who only dislikes him because, in his telling, he's reluctant to invade other countries.
4% : Instead of praising their diligence, Trump demanded to know: "Why did you wait?" All of which is to say: When Trump criticizes Cheney for being a "war hawk" he does so because her last name is Cheney and that's the most obvious criticism.
