1083 What Trump Really Wants Out of Deadly War

from SignsWatch ⦿ Seeing the Signs ⦿ and making sense of the Times

The conversation centres around Donald Trump’s focus on achieving a “win” in his foreign policy, particularly in the context of the ongoing war. The discussion highlights Trump’s desire for a decisive victory, drawing parallels to past presidents and their military interventions. The conversation also touches on the potential impact of the war on Trump’s image and the upcoming election.The situation in Iran is escalating, with the US potentially facing unintended consequences. Trump, viewing the conflict as a television mini-series, aims to declare victory and withdraw, but the situation is more complex. The MAGA base, a key part of his support, may be divided on this issue, especially considering the potential link to Israel and the growing anti-Israel sentiment in American politics.The conversation covers various topics, including the Epstein files and his network of doctors, and the Clintons’ testimony about Benghazi. The discussion then shifts to the strained relationship between Trump and Epstein, allegedly over a property dispute, and the isolation Trump faces, particularly with his wife’s absence from the White House. The conversation also touches on Melania Trump’s recent speech at the UN, where she advocated for peace and education, seemingly distancing herself from her husband’s actions.Donald Trump’s decision to target Iranian General Soleimani is driven by paranoia about a personal threat and a desire for a “win” similar to the situation in Venezuela. Trump’s focus is on achieving success, regardless of the broader implications or potential for regime change. This approach prioritises short-term victories over long-term stability and democratic development.
