War-Weary Trump Balks Again, as Advisors Fear Conflict is “Consuming His Presidency”

Reports continue to circulate that Trump is flabbergasted and losing patience behind the scenes, as the Iran war drags on and slowly exhausts the US military’s clay colossus.

The truth is, by consuming his presidency, the war is precisely doing its job. Part of the major reason behind the war was to divert from the Epstein scandal which itself threatened to consume Trump’s presidency. As such, by laying a blanket over the fire, the war was able to snuff it out, yet now itself threatens to suffocate the remainder of Trump’s career and political legacy.

The article notes that even Trump’s top aides are in fear for their life due to CIA intelligence that Iran is eyeing them for liquidation:

The war has taken a personal toll on the president and some of his senior advisers. Some top aides have been advised by intelligence agencies that the Iranians are seeking to kill them and have been told to stop taking car services, according to people familiar with the matter.

The most eye-opening part of the article reveals Trump’s frustrations at not being able to deal with Iran’s leadership because he believes everytime the US has made headway in negotiations, Iran resorts to striking:

As the war lingers, Trump has grown less confident that the U.S. and Iran can find a diplomatic solution to the conflict. He has complained to advisers that it is difficult to know who speaks for top leadership, and every time the U.S. thinks it has made progress at the negotiating table, Iran continues its attacks, according to people familiar with the matter.

This, more than anything else, testifies to the deeply-ingrained nature of the imperial hubris that has taken over the heart and soul of American foreign policy. The arrant exceptionalism has grown so all-pervasive, that Trump simply operates from the base denominator that agreements made by the US need only be honored by the opposing side. The US itself is exempt, held to no standard because it’s assumed as a given that as global hegemon, the US’s side of the parley is allowed to be ‘fluid’.

Everyone knows it is in fact the US that broke and dishonored all agreements, or simply ignored contingencies such as the Israel-Lebanon inclusion, amongst other things.

    Trump is in the grip of a deadly fear: That he will be unable to accomplish the commands of Zion in the quest for a “Greater Israel”, and will be sacrificed on the altar of Moloch, either through the media or by the sword.

    Trapped by his past, that was planned long before, through the machinations of the Beast, he is at the mercy of his folly.

  2. War weary? Bullcrap! How can that be, if he continues to do the bidding of the Juden ?
    Unfortunately there is still the final option since he refuses to say No More to the chosen ones who always seem to be the puppet masters of evil machinations around the world..
    That final option is nuclear and if the MIGA princes he has put in power in the military leadership, of what was supposed to be our Defense protectors not our War starters, wont stand up and say that’s enough, then he may use them. Once that happens the Jews will have 9 million orgasms all at once. Because they know that will make the US the most hated country around the world instead of them, tie us forever together till infinity and we will take the brunt of the anger which was the plan all along. Destroy the US and the West will fall and the Juden will have their revenge on the Roman bloodlines finally….

  3. Of course it is consuming his presidency. A military morass has a way of doing that to a president. He bit this off under advisement from others who do not have his (or the FUSA’s) best interests at heart, and now he’s finding it increasingly difficult to chew, and giving him a bad case of indigestion and constipation.

    The same thing happened to LBJ with Vietnam, and he apparently realized how badly he screwed the pooch, because he chose not to run for a second term as the incumbent (and he would have been trounced if he had).

    Trump now faces three problems: he chose to engage in this war the FUSA cannot win with Iran, that nobody but the neocons and zionists wanted, and so he has alienated a massive portion of his (now former) base who now increasingly despises him for it (and even more so the downstream effects it is causing). In so doing, he has not only seriously damaged the military readiness of the country to deal with real threats closer to home, by spreading it too thin and pissing away it’s stocks of advanced munitions (many of which are also now increasingly being revealed as ineffective in the current state of warfare). He has also done massive damage to the domestic (and worldwide) economy, only the most superficial of which yet has even been revealed at this stage (in other words, it is going to to get so much worse from here).

    His popularity, and thus his legacy, are in the toilet. And for a man of his enormous ego, that’s one of the few things that will really sting him, especially at this late stage of both his political career and his life, where he has precious little time and opportunity to turn it around and recover from a hugely unfavorable position.

    Further, I postulate that he can’t and won’t salvage his reputation or his legacy, because he has already revealed his lack of character and ability to do so by the now six plus years of his time in office, and the visible results of his actions in that context. There’s a reason he has been dubbed “TACO”, as even if he starts something big, he has repeatedly shown that he lacks the ability to follow through when the going gets tough. And he has totally abandoned the things he should’ve focused on, that would’ve benefitted actual Americans, instead of more big government, israel, the tech bros, and filthy rich investor class.

    He should’ve crossed the proverbial Rubicon near the end of his first term, but didn’t have the stones to face the reality that this country was already over, and that pulling a Lincoln and saying “screw the rules” was the only path to throwing off the enemy. Instead, he has now effectively become the enemy by allowing the corrupt system to co-opt him and his admin. Certainly he may have failed if he tried that gambit, but if he’d been successful in eviscerating the political left (and much of the establishment right) and their myriad scams, he could’ve (eventually, with the benefit of hindsight) been perceived as the man who righted the ship. Instead, he has chosen to blow all his political capital on stupid, ruinous bullshit.
