Trump has bigger problems than Iran
The Iran war has turned into a political disaster for President Donald Trump. The conflict was never popular to begin with, and predictably, support for it has dropped over time. Eighty percent of Americans favor ending the war as quickly as possible. Despite an overwhelming victory on the battlefield, the president and his negotiators pivoted dramatically in recent weeks and are now all-in on a deal that is looking more and more like Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, at best.
TL;DR
- The Iran war is a political disaster for President Trump.
- Eighty percent of Americans favor ending the war quickly.
- The president and negotiators are pursuing a deal similar to Obama's JCPOA.
- The war is politically difficult due to public skepticism of Middle East conflicts.
- Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal is cited as an example of public disapproval of such deals.
