Insider Reveals Trump Had A Full-Blown Meltdown Inside The Oval Office

How does President Donald Trump feel about how the Iran war is going? Not great, it appears.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the president recently launched a “tirade” at Iran’s leaders, calling them “scumbags and lunatics” and “unleashing a series of expletives.”

The Journal, which cited administration officials, stated that the president is “increasingly frustrated that a conflict he once thought would be over in a matter of weeks has dragged on with no end in sight.”

This has led to fears that the war could overtake Trump’s second presidency.

“Some of Trump’s advisers now worry that the war—which has resulted in higher prices, falling approval ratings and the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. servicemembers—is consuming his presidency and damaging Republicans’ already dim prospects in the coming midterm elections,” the Journal reported.

“Trump has been trying to wind down the war for months. He announced a ceasefire in April after he threatened to end Iran’s “whole civilization.” In June, he said the U.S. and Iran had signed a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But the brief periods of calm quickly gave way to continued fighting.”

Trump has also grown skeptical about negotiations, especially after the failure of last month’s memorandum of understanding.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he will soon make a decision on whether to launch a “massive attack” on Iran after the conflict in the Middle East extended to a new battleground in the Red Sea.

“The president in recent days has grown skeptical that negotiations with Iran can produce a lasting peace, according to people familiar with the matter. A senior administration official said Trump believes that the only thing Iran understands is military force, adding that he was in “revenge mode” against Tehran.
