White House Goons Leak Trump’s Secret Fear as His War Spirals

Donald Trump is increasingly desperate to put an end to a war he started that is now threatening his party’s prospects in November’s midterm elections.

“Even as Trump asked about resuming the bombing campaign, officials said he seemed wary about restarting hostilities and prolonging a conflict that is deeply unpopular with the American public,” the Wall Street Journal reports, citing White House sources on “a series of frenzied meetings” on Tuesday about the president’s war with Iran.

Those discussions came after Vice President JD Vance had waited much of the day to depart for the Pakistani capital Islamabad for the latest round of negotiations with Iranian officials, only for Iran to pull out of the meeting just hours before a deadline set by Trump two weeks ago.
