He treated the war with the same level of thought as he does publicity stunts. One thing Trump is genuinely good at is controlling media attention and how to keep people in a constant state of shock. This is why you have shit like UFC fights and a festival so cheaply put together that things fall apart in real time. And how he tore down part of the white house before that... And now wanting the live streamed execution of a prisoner.

He treated Iran the same way he treated those other cases. Wanting it to be a cheap gag that'll garner attention for a few weeks or months before somehow disappearing into the endless list of shit he has done.

But Iran won't have that... They are fighting a war the way a war needs to be fought: to achieve strategic and political goals. To that end they are winning brilliantly.
