    He has learned that people dislike him massively, especially in his groupies group for the rise in fuel prices. That is unbearable for this narcissist, so he wants to get out and be praised for lowering gas prices again.

    He just has no clue how to do that.

    No matter what the outcome at this point, this administration is fucked.

    If the war continues, more US service members die while oil prices continue to surge and Trump’s favorability ratings continue to tank.

    If the US pulls out, the Strait remains closed with Iran in full control of which ships can go in and out. They still have the majority of their drone and missile stockpiles intact and can leverage the flow of oil for years to come, meaning they can continue to put pressure on the US economy. Plus they now have a regime who is markedly more hardline than it was before the US and Israel assassinated all the moderates who might be willing to negotiate.

    This has to go down as one of the most mind bogglingly stupid self-owns and worst foreign policy blunders in US history.
