Breaking MSNOW: "WH OFFICIAL SAYS TRUMP FUNDAMENTALLY MISCALCULATED

[senseandsensibility]

ON IRAN AFTER NEW ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL"

So... a "WH official" has spoken to MSNOW and said that trump "miscalculated"?

What was this "official's" first clue? I mean....wow. And it is going to take a lot more than anonymous leaks from this administration's yes men to fix this.

[Renew Deal]

1. This wouldn't be happening if Trump was capable of negotiating

Trump has been lying about Irans desire for a deal from the beginning. He’s been the one most desperate to make something happen. Every statement from him is a confession.

[sboatcar]

13. Iran has time on their side

They know that there's elections coming up, so they'll just wait it out and make it more and more unpopular. After this latest round of attacks, Trump's response is so weak that they know they're negotiating from a position of power.
He'll give them whatever they want so he can say he made a peace deal.

[Ponietz]

17. Time to pull a Reagan and do our own deal, right?

[sboatcar]

26. I didn't think about that, how brilliant would that be, to do an end run around the admin?

[cstanleytech]

37. Its not an issue of not being capable of negotiating but rather one of his choosing to try and dictate.

[RockRaven]

2. I think the meaning of that quote is to be more hawkish. They mean he shouldn't have

negotiated/stopped bombing them. At least, that is how it reads to me without further context.

I don't think it refers to the miscalculation at the very beginning of this bad business which we would all agree upon but almost everyone in the WH would still dispute.

[Klarkashton]

5. Except that it wouldn't work that way either. More bombing

Isn't going to make any difference.

[RockRaven]

8. I am not saying they are correct, only what it seems to me that they mean.

[wnylib]

20. True. And he stopped bombing bc his Arab allies

who gave him tons of money and gifts in expectation of protection were being attacked by Iran. They told him to stop.

Donnie got himself into this mess with nobody to bail him out.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Breaking News. Breaking News. Dumbass Trump does dumb shit.

Who knew.

[Sneederbunk]

4. How can TSF miscalculate when he doesn't calculate at all?

Not smart..

[tanyev]

6. His gut instinct doesn't math very well.

[Lovie777]

7. shithole is the smartest person in the whole wide universe.......................

everybody needs to be subservient because they are just stupid.

Whoever leaked that out will be tar and feather and fired. Better yet, DOJ and acting AG will indict the person.

[WheelWalker]

41. Verdict first.. then the trial.

[ecstatic]

9. He thinks he's smarter than he is

"You're talking about 47 years of getting away with whatever they wanted... This should've been done long ago. This should've been done by other presidents or other countries."

Instead of thinking, I wonder why other presidents have abstained from getting involved, his first thought is: For 47 years, other presidents did nothing about Iran! I'm smarter than all of them! I have more courage than them! I'm going to do something about Iran.

There will be many more "miscalculations," and a lot of people will die as a result.

[GoodRaisin]

12. He's stupid. This time his stupidity has reignited a mideast war and he has no way out.

He is 100% responsible. He overplayed his “cards”.

He will go down as one of the worst world leaders in history because he started this.

[chicoescuela]

32. 100% correct Raisin

[purr-rat beauty]

10. Not just him

Every zealot syncophant and spineless congress person...

They own this too

[SamuelTheThird]

11. Things must be worse than we know

Something like this hasn't happened before

[bucolic_frolic]

14. There was more than one moving part, what did they expect? /nt

[irisblue]

15. No shit

[LilElf70]

16. I wonder

What the final costs will be.

[Justice matters.]

33. US casualties already cost too much:

Official U.S. casualty figures in the conflict with Iran stand at 13 service members killed in action and over 360 wounded.

The majority of the wounded sustained minor injuries, though a portion required serious medical treatment.

AND FOR WHAT? High gas prices? They should all be healthy and fine!

[mr715]

18. Which one? Any reading between the lines?

[LuvLoogie]

24. It's likely someone from the state department.

One of Rubio's deputies. Or someone from the NSA.

[mr715]

29. Ooo interesting.

Given the nature of the rumblings, I would've thought someone from Vance's camp, not Rubio nor Hegseth nor Wiles.

[Xolodno]

19. He's playing Uno...

...while they are playing no limit Texas Holdem.

[Kaleva]

39. lol!

[struggle4progress]

21. Oopsie doodle

.Fortunately nobody knows as much about miscalculating as Donnie the Dim!

[DavidDvorkin]

22. He can't miscalculate because he doesn't calculate

He does everything by whim of the moment.

[senseandsensibility]

23. Well, you have a point there

Unfortunately.

[FakeNoose]

25. He figured MBS and the other Arab leaders would get him out of this

Instead, they're letting him twist slowly in the wind....

Chump is on his own, and he knows he started this when he tore up Obama's treaty in 2018.
He deserves the opposite of the Nobel Peace Prize, whatever that may be.

[tulipsandroses]

27. And yet he's focused on going to a fucking basketball game.....

Just imagine if this was a democratic president. The media would lose their shit.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Trump thinks it's a PR event that he is managing.

[gay texan]

30. Just forgot to carry the 1. Sheesh pesky maths and stuff..... n/t

[Beacool]

31. This is your daily reminder that Trump is a MORON!!!!

[Blues Heron]

34. his uncle was a genius. trump, not so much

[LymphocyteLover]

35. Trump has "miscalculated" every goddamn day of his miserable life

[Hope22]

36. This wouldn't happen if imbeciles weren't playing war!

Service members should be irate about the lack of planning and consideration. This is the kind of crap we marched against regarding Iraq!!

[Beartracks]

38. But but Trump is the most geniusy genius that ever geniused.

And we know this for a fact because he told us himself.

====================

[Aussie105]

40. Don't TELL me, SHOW me!

Who would have thought that the billions of taxpayers dollars 'invested' in the military industrial complex, and the God given moral superiority America assumes is theirs, would be insufficient to stomp a supposedly backwards country like Iran into the ground?

Yet here we are.

[usonian]

42. Yadda Yadda, but will this prevent him from being the MVP at the NBA finals game?

I understand that hackers have taken over the "Jumbotron" at Madison Square Garden and plan a UUUUUUGE surprise or two or tnree.

That would give him a stroke, since he physically cannot get a heart attack.

[haele]

43. I read the title as "Fundamentally Emasculated"

Any difference?
