Commentary: Trump gets into an almost hopeless situation in the Iran war

A commentary piece discusses President Donald Trump's dire situation in the ongoing Iran war. Trump often speaks untruths, but sometimes reveals honest thoughts to those closely involved in his rapidly unfolding reality show. On Sunday, he spoke truthfully to journalist Barak Ravid of "Axios" about the Iran war, which has now been raging for six months.

Trump believes the situation will improve, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. His resilience in the face of adversity throughout his life suggests why he thinks this way. As described by Trump savvy Maggie Haberman, reality is merely a temporary construct that Trump can bend to his will. Failures are all in the interpretation.

The Reflecting Pool, which quickly turned into algae after renovations, was vandalized. Trump's defeat in the 2020 election was due to manipulation.
