Naive Trump has blown this war — no matter what he does next

Friends,

Sorry to intrude on you again, but as we reach the fourth week of Trump’s war with no end in sight, I want to make sure you are aware of what he said this week, and its implications.

After Tehran dismissed his 15-point ceasefire plan, Trump claimed today that Iran is “begging to make a deal,” and that he wasn’t the one pushing for negotiations. (Earlier, he told Tehran to “get serious soon” about negotiating an end to the war.)

“They’ll tell you, ‘We’re not negotiating,’” Trump said.
