The recent near-war with Iran has caused incalculable damage to America and Trump, and it's not just about turning Europe against him. The threat of a war crime, the bombing of civilian targets, sparked a global outcry, with even the Pope calling the plans "truly unacceptable". This episode has likely cost Trump the support of many Iranians, too. The senselessness of the situation raises questions about Trump's motives and the role of his yes-men in the decision-making process. The fact that both sides were so far apart and the reality of what was agreed remains unclear only adds to the sense of desperation and the potential for further conflict. This episode has also revealed a disturbing picture of how Trump was led to war, with intelligence agencies mocking his claims and the Vice President being one of the few to voice opposition. The question remains: what will be the end of season cliffhanger in the Trump White House? The answer may be more dramatic than anyone could have imagined.
