Trump’s War Is Staggering to an Incoherent Defeat

Tom Nichols: “Many of those most alarmed about what Trump might end up accepting to get out of this dead-end conflict in Iran are not his critics, but his supporters.

It will be very easy for Trump’s enablers to blame Obama for setting him up for failure. They just need to be reminded if the talking points and that will be enough for them.
