CNN: Trump saying "Don't rush me" might be to avoid bearing the shame of defeat

Golden Finance reports that on April 24, according to CNN, mainstream American opinion holds that, in order to reverse the Republicans’ loss of ground in the November election, Trump must end the war with Iran as soon as possible. But as for the possibility that the Democratic Party could win by a landslide, Trump seems to have already accepted it. Moreover, on Thursday, he appeared to be persuading the American public—and even persuading himself—that the temporary rise in oil prices is a “reasonable” price for this war. He said, “So what do they (Iran) get? Iran no longer has nuclear weapons, and those nuclear weapons would have tried to blow up one of our cities or the entire Middle East.”

Before launching the war, Trump did not present any public evidence that Iran was about to acquire nuclear weapons. And if he had raised this argument earlier, it might have been more convincing. But sometimes, U.S. presidents prolong a war they cannot win in order to avoid bearing the shame of defeat. Is that the true meaning behind what Trump said—“Don’t rush me”? (Dongxin News Agency)
