Trump contradicts himself so much that I have no idea what his traditonal base is considered to be. However, during the elections he said that he was going to wipe out ISIS and go after the families of terrorists, so it's not like him intervening is something that he never mentioned beforehand.

While that's true, Trump attracted the anti-immigration crowd to his campaign and used Clinton's history of destabilizing the region as an attack point. However, Trump's recent actions in Syria has drawn criticism from his anti-immigration supporters in the alt right, if the media is to be believed. So where did you get the assertion that anti-immigration folk are warmongers?

It came from Donald Trump talking about destroying ISIS. You need to go to war to do that. He also continued the drone strikes and bombing attacks directly after his inauguration, and he increased the military budget by over $50 billion a few weeks ago. Why would they just start criticizing him now, shouldn't they have started in January?

He even said that he wanted increase the size of active military personnel:
