I hope I am wrong. But after more than 40 years covering politics and lying politicians, I think it’s obvious Donald Trump cannot and will not end the war he started with Iran. I don’t think it has a chance of ending until he’s out of office. The clues are clear: Trump not only can’t end the war, but he also obviously doesn’t want to do so.
I’m not alone in this thought. At least three people I still talk with inside the Pentagon believe it. Former national security experts I’ve known for years from both political parties believe it. More importantly, it’s apparent Donald Trump is now admitting it.
