"In the press conference, Trump was asked about what he planned to say. He replied, "Basically, I'm going to tell everybody how great I am. What a phenomenal job I've done." This got a laugh from the MAGA fans, but it was also quite revealing."
"Despite Trump's loud, shameless tooting of his own horn-always a go-to for this most self-obsessed of men-he must know that his war of choice is damaging his presidency."
"Everyone can see that the war is not the quick victory Trump promised. As he himself admits, he "predicted" the war "was going to be over in three days." In fact, the war has gone on for a month and is increasingly looking like a major failure."
Trump's recent speech on the Iran war lacked energy and coherence, reflecting his disengagement from the conflict. Polls indicate declining support for the war and low approval ratings for Trump. His performance was uninspired, contrasting with his animated press conference where he ad-libbed to supporters. Despite his self-praise, the war is not the quick victory he promised, and its prolonged nature is damaging his presidency. The speech left many wanting a clear explanation of the war's purpose and future.
