>Senior White House officials are reportedly having “buyer’s remorse” over the Iran war as the realization sets in that President Trump was “high on his own supply” when he launched it.
>That bombshell is buried inside a new Axios dispatch. It lays bare a deep fracture inside Trump’s inner circle, now navigating week three of a bloody conflict that has claimed at least 13 American lives, left more than 1,400 Iranians dead, and produced one of the worst civilian atrocities attributed to the U.S. military in decades.

I can only imagine how anxiety-inducing working in that White House must be. It’s like a Medici-era ducal household.

At this point, the leaks are less like a dripping faucet and more like a broken dam. It’s hard to maintain any cohesive strategy when the internal divisions are being broadcast in real-time.

How is it possible to be the strongest and richest country on earth and not even think twice before doing something like this? What a disaster! 🤦♀️

The president of our country said that Iran surrendered a week ago. What happened to our country that we just don’t give an actual shit about such insane incompetence and lies? This is ridiculous. Soldiers are dying and this shitstain is sending out fundraising emails with images of their caskets.

Lol he literally destroyed the White House without thinking of the consequences. This just theme.

The best way out of this complete debacle is to conduct a full-on regime-change here in America.

Who would have figured making a government with a senile morron, drug addicts and neo-nazis was a bad idea.

Just a reminder that we have 2+ more years of this.

The US should surrender unconditionally and beg Iran’s forgiveness.

Maybe we shouldn’t let one person have the ability to decide to start a fucking war.

The war with Iran is a bailout for Russia. That was the point of this. And to exhaust our military resources and put our troops at risk. Pretty soon the US economy will tank and we’ll all be sitting ducks. He’s a traitor

Thank god the most corrupt and evil administration in American history is also the dumbest group of motherfuckers to fail upwards in life.
This nightmare still needs to end yesterday.

Iran has a population of ~92 million people, the country is 4x the size of Iraq, and there is only one feasible access point to the urban centers. We could have had 2 access points, but Donald Trump surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban in his first term.
When you don’t understand logistics, mechanization, numbers, directions, distances, etc – you work yourself into these little situations.

For a country founded on “no kings” we really found a way to create kings.

>An insider says Trump “grossly overestimated” his own abilities in the conflict.
Unlike in every other arena where Trump grossly overestimates his own abilities. Did anyone ever expect he would be competent at managing a war, when he can’t manage a peace?

lol I have zero confidence that grown-ass men who wear the wrong size gift shoes from Trump are going to speak up on anything that matters.
Somewhere in a musty basement in Foggy Bottom is a pile of all their spines.

Hopefully this is his downfall, no allies are coming to help open up the Strait of Hormuz, he’s now stuck in a war where he has to sacrifice American lives and basically nobody’s coming to bail him out. Surely this has to result in a regime change.

13 military lives you say? Where have I heard MAGA in an uproar about 13 military lives before? Hmmm

Come on r/politics , stop getting played. Here’s some of your headlines for the last week:
“Trump’s Iran war could hand Congress to the democrats!”
“Trump’s Nixon moment may be coming!!”
“Trump draws backlash…”
“MAJOR Whitehouse split leaks!”
“Frantic Trump Melts down….”
How fucking stupid do you think we are? Does clickbait like this belong on this sub? Who the hell is moderating?
This just perpetuates the idea that somehow the law or the GOP, or MAGA itself is going to stop Trump somehow, when we all know they will NEVER be disloyal. This is Fascism, and these propaganda messages only serve to demoralize the public by showing that no matter the outcry, Trump escapes justice every time.
Stop allowing this garbage on your sub, or I will mute it. I may be only one person, but Ive had it.

Ban the Daily Beast and any other paywall rags. All they do is post sensationalism, which is the last thing we need with Trump out of control right now.
