President Donald Trump has just laid the groundwork for one of the "greatest tragedies in American foreign policy history," according to a GOP analyst.
Stewart Stevens, who was Mitt Romney's chief campaign strategist during his 2012 presidential campaign, argued in a recent interview on MS NOW's "Alex Witt Reports" that Trump appears incapable of recognizing the mistakes his administration has made in the war in Iran. He said that failure could create a situation where U.S. soldiers and Iranian civilians face "complete tragedies" of Trump's own making.
"This is not a healthy humanbeing who's making decisionshere," Stevens said. "This is a very damagedguy who's in decline, who has no one around him to limithim, and we've stumbled intothis war."
Stevens added that Trump's lack of an exit strategy could compound the issues he faces in Iran.
"There is no exitstrategy here," Stevens continued. "Donald Trump said that he wants to decide who's going to be the head of Iran. Well, that ain't goingto happen. And it's the makings of one ofthe great tragedies in Americanforeign policy history."
