Peinovich had expressed support for Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election and the first months of his term, but disavowed him in April 2017 after Donald Trump ordered missile strikes against Syria. On April 9, Peinovich took part in an anti-war protest opposing the 2017 Shayrat missile strike, in which 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles were launched by the United States against the Shayrat Airbase controlled by the government forces of Bashar al-Assad. The protest, organized by Richard B. Spencer, was counter-protested by anti-fascist activists. On the next episode of "The Daily Shoah", Peinovich and Spencer railed against the perceived attitudes of mainstream conservatives, especially Baby Boomers, and spoke about the growing (and, in their opinions, undue) influence of Ivanka Trump and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner on President Donald Trump, as well as neoconservative and pro-Israel influences within the Trump administration. He also commented that the alt-right was now "the only legitimate anti-war movement in the United States," and that the Antifa counter-protesters supported Trump and the military strike by virtue of counter-protesting an anti-war demonstration.
