From the surreal whiplash of launching a “Board of Peace” days before bombs fall, to the gamble of shock-and-awe without boots on the ground, they trace how foreign policy becomes personal survival strategy in a “government of one.” Is this a calculated move, a headline reset, or simply Trump following his gut in the fog of war? Along the way, they unravel the politics of his speech to Iranians, the MAGA base’s unease with another Middle East conflict, and the looming midterms that may be shaping every decision.
