'Ready to move on': Trump adviser says he's growing increasingly 'bored' with Iran war

(AlterNet) President Donald Trump is growing increasingly "bored" with the Iran war, according to Jonathan Lemire of The Atlantic, describing comments from and "outside adviser" who speaks "regularly" with the president.

According to Lemire's Friday report, "Trump really, really wants the war with Iran to end."

It turns out the war is far more difficult than Trump anticipated, and it has lasted much longer than he expected, the report said.

"He doesn’t want to be bogged down in a Middle East conflict like some of his predecessors were. He doesn’t want it to upend his high-stakes summit next week in China. He is ready to move on," said Lemire.

Yeah right. His brain is cooked, China hasn’t done anything he’s wanted, and that isn’t going to change. Especially with most of his tariff abuses being blocked.

because it wasn't going according to whatever script he had in his head, which was he would go in, Iran would grovel and plead and give him the oil, and he would get out. Except Iran flipped the script and basically told him to fuck off and die. He doesn't like pushback.
And not only is Iran pushing back, so is the much of the rest of the world.
