GOP Operative Admits Disaster Looms for Trump

A desperate GOP operative is sounding the alarm as Americans lose confidence in Donald Trump.

The president remains preoccupied with his war on Iran, which the Pentagon says has already cost $25 billion but which economists warn might end up costing the U.S. economy up to a trillion dollars. Fuel prices have been pushed higher by Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit through which Gulf energy reaches world markets. The AAA reports that the price per gallon has jumped to $4.457.

“The warning signs are flashing,” an operative close to the White House told Politico on Sunday as Trump announced a desperate plan to pry the Strait open. But the operative suggested that the damage may have been done, and voters will remember this when they head to the polls for the midterm elections in November.
