'This is a disaster': Trump's stated goals from February thrown in his face on MS NOW

The number of goals Donald Trump set out on Feb. 28 when he launched the unprovoked attack on Iran was held up to the light by MS NOW’s David Rohde on Tuesday morning, who made clear the president's war so far has been a failure.

'He’s desperate': Ex-insider reveals Trump's eagerness to end war being used against him

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton warned on Monday that Iran can sense how "desperate" President Donald Trump is to secure a deal that its leaders are "playing him."

Bolton told CNN anchor Pamela Brown that as negotiations drag on, Tehran has sensed Trump's weaknesses — and that the president might not fully understand Iran's level of "fanaticism of what's left of the regime and the people who are in power." Bolton argued that Trump's worldview throughout his life has been that he can negotiate with anyone, and that's not the case with this military conflict and adversary.

Expert says Trump accidentally revealed his Obama ties: 'He doth protest too much'

A veteran foreign policy expert delivered a cutting verdict on Donald Trump's Iran diplomacy Monday, arguing that the president's relentless attacks on Barack Obama's nuclear deal are actually an admission that his own deal looks remarkably similar.

"He doth protest too much," said Richard Haass, the veteran diplomat and foreign policy analyst, responding to Trump's repeated Truth Social broadsides against the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
