A habit Donald Trump has picked up during his second term in the Oval Office will hinder his administration's war in Iran, a political analyst claimed. The United States joined Israel in striking Iran earlier this month, and with constantly changing reasons for attacking the Middle Eastern country, the president is coming across as unfocused, according to Simon Tisdall. The political analyst, writing in The Guardian, suggested that Trump's lack of focus and inability to understand the weight of the war at hand will affect how he can end the war. He wrote, "Ignoring facts on the ground, the White House continues to spew lies and bombast. Trump is plainly in denial, claiming regime change has already been achieved via assassination. He has this strange habit of behaving like a spectator, detached from the chaotic events he himself sets in motion. "He acts as if the global energy shock, the US’s abject failure to defend the Hormuz Strait and its Gulf allies, Iran’s unyielding defiance under fire, and the absence of the predicted popular uprising in Tehran have nothing to do with him. He doesn’t understand Iran is fighting an asymmetric war, that even the biggest bombs cannot obliterate pride and ideology, faith and history."Part of the problem, Tisdall argues, is who Trump is now surrounded by in the White House. Few allies remain for the president abroad, with the political analyst suggesting the president has been played by Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. "Trump is increasingly isolated and out on a limb," Tisdall wrote. "His wealthy Arab business cronies no longer trust him. US bases on their territory now resemble a liability, not a defence. When he demanded Nato’s help, Europe said: we’ll let you know. "Likewise, Iran’s ethnic Kurds are less than keen to die for a muppet. Support for the war among the US public and the MAGA right, always weak, is a fast-vanishing mirage. Having egged him on, Netanyahu refuses to bail him out – or to stop bombing everyone in sight. "Silly-billy Trump! He believed Israel’s assurance of quick victory. As for Iran, its surviving leadership, dominated by ultras, reckons it’s winning. Its hard line gets harder by the day."

Donald Trump’s border czar, who oversaw the president's demands to deploy ICE agents to the nation’s overwhelmed airports, was at a loss for words on CNN on Sunday morning as to why the president just didn’t pay TSA agents from the start when funding ran out.With the country’s airports in chaos due to TSA no-showing at their jobs since they were not being paid, Tom Homan filled in the gaps to a slight degree with ICE agents pulled from their jobs, rounding up immigrants off the streets to help out overwhelmed TSA agents and harried travelers.On “State of the Union,” host Jake Tapper had to ask Homan twice why Trump didn’t alleviate the problem weeks ago.On his second try, Tapper asked, “But if if President Trump had the power to pay TSA agents this whole time, why only start doing it now?” After a pause, Homan admitted, “Look, I don't understand. Look, I'm a cop, I don't understand the whole, you know, appropriations language, appropriations law. I just, you know, I'm just glad that President Trump is able to pay the TSA agents –– at least that's a start. But again, there's a lot more, many more, thousands more, tens of thousands of more DHS employees who are not being paid that need to be paid.”The CNN host pressed, “Once TSA agents start getting paid, will ICE agents leave the airports?”“We'll see,” the Trump official replied. “You know, it depends how many TSA agents come back to work, how many TSA agents have actually quit and have no plan coming back to work. I'm working very closely with the TSA administrator and the director to decide what airport needs what. But you know, God bless the men and women, right? So they're doing the job, they're plugging those holes or they're keeping the security airport at a high level, again, because of heightened threat.” - YouTube youtu.be
