Re: Israel v Iran conflict

He really is all over the place.

So it seems this has gone like this:
  1. Trump tears up Obama deal in his first term, Iran starts working towards a nuclear weapon again
  2. Trump hits out at Biden and the Democrats over increasing chances of war with Iran
  3. Trump gets back in, wants to sign a deal with Iran to stop them from building nuclear weapons
  4. Israel scuppers deal by bombing Iran
  5. Trump wants credit after Fox News and others praise Israel for those attacks
  6. Trump joins in on the attack, then immediately tries to avoid escalation by stating the attacks were now finished
  7. Iran also tries to avoid escalation - Trump thanks them - declares a ceasefire
  8. Trump is now genuinely angry that it isn't the end of it

It's like a child who can't control their temper and isn't familiar with the concept of consequences.

He doesn't want a conflict with Iran but couldn't control himself from joining in with Israel's attack lest he loses the respect of morons. So, he tries to engineer a situation where he can appear tough while still getting what he wants in the long term. He is now angry that this little escapade might undermine the long-term goal.
