Interestingly, Bolton and Pompeo’s quest for war with Iran has publicly put them at odds with President Trump, who reportedly told his acting Secretary of Defense that “he does not want war with Iran.” It also puts them at odds with some of Trump’s strongest supporters, like Fox News’Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson, who have publicly stated that a war with Iran would lower his electability in 2020. If this is the case, then sustained public, media and congressional pressure might prompt Trump to realize that enabling his top two foreign policy appointees is simply more trouble than it’s worth.
Sustained public, media and congressional pressure might prompt the President of the United States to realize that enabling the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor in their quest for war with Iran is more trouble than it’s worth because the two are in conflict with two Fox News commentators and the President’s re-electability is lowered?
