The possibility of a quick resolution to the conflict is looking less likely for the president, but every way out will come at a cost
President Trump has already declared the war on Iran won. But this week he also said that it was still necessary to “finish the job”.
“We don’t want to leave early, do we?” he said. “We don’t want to go back every two years.”
Trump sometimes speaks as a president but often he speaks as a commentator on his own decisions.
