But after more than 40 years covering politics and lying politicians, I think it\u2019s obvious Donald Trump cannot and will not end the war he started with Iran. I don\u2019t think it has a chance of ending until he\u2019s out of office. The clues are clear: Trump not only can\u2019t end the war, but he also obviously doesn\u2019t want to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=1010\">At Delaney Hall, the struggle persists after cameras left<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>I\u2019m not alone in this thought. At least three people I still talk with inside the Pentagon believe it. Former national security experts I\u2019ve known for years from both political parties believe it. More importantly, it\u2019s apparent Donald Trump is now admitting<\/span> <span>it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Tuesday, he told Fox News\u2019 Trey Yingst that you can\u2019t trust the Iranians, and that he will continue to bomb them for as long as he wants. They break agreements, he claimed, and \u201cthey have to be beat up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe only way you can negotiate with these people is through strength,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the only strength is military strength. And that\u2019s what we\u2019ve done. And I mean, literally two days ago, we had a deal and then they broke it at the last moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Trump continued to hint at a ground war. Yingst pressed him on a \u201climited\u201d campaign. Trump wouldn\u2019t rule it out. \u201cI\u2019d say sometimes you need a ground campaign,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we have other people that will do the ground campaign for us.\u201d <\/span><span>By Wednesday afternoon Trump was hinting he would consider expanding the United States presence in Iran.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>If this sounds like the Vietnam War, it\u2019s only because it is eerily similar, but with a Trumpian twist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>If this sounds like the Vietnam War, it\u2019s only because it is eerily similar, but with a Trumpian twist. While Lyndon Johnson infamously said, \u201cWe are not about to send American boys 9 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves,\u201d Trump maintains we \u201chave other people\u201d who will do our bidding and wage a ground war.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Really? Who? The obvious implication is Israel, but it\u2019s equally obvious that Benjamin Netanyahu, the country\u2019s prime minister, has Trump doing his bidding, rather than the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We also know, thanks to Yingst, that Trump never had a specific reason for launching the war. \u201cWell, it was specific in the sense that it just never stops and they\u2019re gonna go forward and they wanted a nuclear weapon. We knew they wanted a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One national security expert I spoke with said, \u201c<\/span><span>For all intents and purposes, CENTCOM has now been let off the leash, and they are going on the offense. On the plus side, that means reduced capabilities for the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps]. But on the negative side, it means the regime will dig in and the war will continue. I don\u2019t see them suing for peace. It\u2019s just not in their DNA. And they don\u2019t give a s**t about the desires or the needs of the Iranian people, who are and will continue to be the biggest losers in all this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That may be a bit shortsighted, say others, including some Republicans. \u201cThis war will continue to impact Americans where it will hurt worse \u2014 in our pocketbooks,\u201d a leading GOP senator told me. He also said he feared \u201cit will also cost additional lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Trump says the war was necessary:<\/span><span> \u201cThey would\u2019ve never made a deal with Obama. That deal was the worst deal. What they did sign was a worthless piece of paper. What they signed, what they signed with Obama was a worthless piece of paper that was a road to a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The truth, for those who adhere to facts, is that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was signed in 2015 by the U.S. and Iran, along with Russia, the United Kingdom, China, France and Germany following 20 months of negotiations by the Obama administration. Iran agreed to limits on uranium enrichment and pledged to reduce its stockpile, with the International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring Iran\u2019s compliance. In exchange, the international community agreed to lift nuclear-related economic and financial sanctions, allowing Iran to access global markets and trade. Trump later claimed Obama put $1.6 billion on a 747, clearing out the banks in Virginia and Maryland to pay off the Iranians. That is a flat out lie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Trump tore up the JCPOA during his first administration, and Iran once again began enriching uranium. So while he complains that Iran won\u2019t make a deal, perhaps it is because the agreement we had with Iran was torn up simply because Trump was still livid with Barack Obama after Obama made fun of him at the annual White House Correspondents dinner in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I was there. I remember Trump\u2019s face. He was mad then and he\u2019s still mad now. He hates Obama for making fun of him then. He hates Joe Biden for beating him in 2020. Trump has sought revenge against Obama by trying to undo everything Obama did as president. He is seeking revenge against Biden by nullifying the election he himself lost in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As much as Trump says about his desire to limit Iran\u2019s ability to make nuclear weapons, the truth is we are now five months into a war that was <\/span><span>supposed to last only four weeks<\/span><span> but that we <\/span><span>\u201cwon\u201d in two days<\/span><span> over a weapons program that was <\/span><span>\u201cobliterated\u201d<\/span><span> in June 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, the bombs keep falling, and Trump doesn\u2019t care. But it goes far deeper than that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=1008\">Pete Hegseth wants to measure your manhood<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The president doesn\u2019t care if the war goes on. He doesn\u2019t care if housing prices spiral upward and out of control. He said he <\/span><span>wants housing prices to climb<\/span><span> to protect the wealthy. He doesn\u2019t care if Immigration and Customs Enforcement kills people indiscriminately. He recently <\/span><span>posted a statement<\/span><span> on Truth Social that ICE is doing a great job after killing four people without due process and abusing established police procedures. On Monday in Portland, Maine, ICE agents <\/span><span>gunned down Joan Sebastian Guerrero<\/span><span> in his car, later handcuffing his lifeless body while his three-year-old daughter watched in her pajamas. Trump doesn\u2019t care if his toy airplane, given to him by the Qatari royal family and pressed into service as Air Force One, took flight without the necessary security retrofitting. He said in front of reporters that yes, he could die, but reporters would go with him. That\u2019s a hell of a recruiting tool for reporters to join the travel pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Trump also doesn\u2019t care about the poor or due process or how many people die so he can claim peace. He apparently doesn\u2019t even care about himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>At this very moment, his court jesters, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who wants to juice soldiers with testosterone, and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who wants to eject 3,000 people from the country daily, are running wild. Trump doesn\u2019t care. Former Tea Party congressman Joe Walsh describes him as a \u201csociopath.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chris Vance, spokesperson for Our Republican Legacy, an organization founded by ex-lawmakers to promote what they have called the GOP\u2019s \u201ctraditional principles,\u201d said that the president\u2019s \u201cunilateral actions and disdain\u00a0for the War Powers Act undermines the Constitution.\u201d He called on congressional Republicans to \u201cdo their constitutional duty under Article 1 and \u201ctake control of this conflict.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The main issue, former Trump staffer Miles Taylor told me, is that the president\u2019s only agenda is himself. \u201cDonald Trump has signed America up for one of things he railed hardest against: a forever war, driven by the grievances and hubris of Washington swamp creatures. Only this time, it\u2019s powered by the most short-sighted, self-interested man to ever have held public office in American history. The only confidence I have is that, eventually, Iran gets a really good deal. Americans are guaranteed a raw one. Now it\u2019s just a question of how bad a deal we get.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Wall Street Journal, usually sympathetic to Trump on its editorial pages, revealed this week that the president \u201chosted a Situation Room meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the potential seizure of Kharg Island and other territory along the Strait of Hormuz using U.S. troops, as well as the potential bombing of a tunnel complex at Pickaxe Mountain, a nuclear-linked site the U.S. has yet to target. Expanding airstrikes against more targets in Iran, including energy sites, also remains a possibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other options include boots on the ground to seize Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz and bombing a fortified site suspected to be used for covert nuclear production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If Trump is as dangerous as some claim, and I believe he may well be, and if he is determined to continue hammering Iran, then I wonder this: how dangerous is the president of the United States to himself and others? Does he represent an existential threat?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His discussion of dying in an unprotected Air Force One and taking reporters with him, and his constant acknowledgement of threats against his life, are sobering and concerning. We can all see he is physically unwell. Many of us believe he is mentally fading.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He won\u2019t and can\u2019t end the war in Iran because he doesn\u2019t want to do so, and because the Islamic Republic obviously doesn\u2019t trust him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>He won\u2019t and can\u2019t end the war in Iran because he doesn\u2019t want to do so, and because the Islamic Republic obviously doesn\u2019t trust him. They won\u2019t make a deal \u2014 and continue to break agreements \u2014 because Trump first broke one agreed to by seven nations that was working. The Iranians cannot be trusted, but part of that is our fault.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Trump often refers to being at war with Iran \u201cfor 47 years\u201d \u2014\u00a0since the 1979 revolution \u2014 but Iran has been upset with us and Britain since 1953 when we staged a coup d\u2019etat using the CIA when the Iranian democracy wanted to nationalize its oil industry against the desires of some of the world\u2019s largest oil companies. We then allowed the shah to assume absolute control. In the process, he claimed to modernize and westernize the country, but he also tortured and killed his own citizens until an even crazier bunch of zealots took over the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The U.S. owns this mess, or it should. It may well be the single greatest failure of the CIA in the history of that agency \u2014 far bigger than the Bay of Pigs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But at the end of the day, we\u2019re staring at an unhinged president who began the war for intensely personal reasons. He is desperate to run Obama through the mud, and he doesn\u2019t care who suffers as he does it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Let\u2019s be honest: if Donald Trump can\u2019t get his way, he wants to burn it all down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I saw it in Trump\u2019s eyes in 2011 at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
