Trump vs. Iran: The Sequel nobody asked for

Original version ·

History is basically just a loop of presidents realizing that wars have a nasty habit of outlasting their welcome.

It is the classic presidential trap. Trump is currently grappling with the reality that getting into a conflict is easy, but finding an exit that doesn't look like a total disaster is a nightmare. History is full of leaders who thought they could just drop in, make a point, and head home for dinner.

Wars are like bad houseguests; they always overstay their welcome. Even when you have the biggest ego in the room, the messy, unpredictable nature of regional power struggles doesn't really care about your campaign promises or your polling numbers. It’s the same old ghost of Hoover—the realization that staying too long makes the whole presidency look like a hostage situation.

It’s funny how everyone thinks they're the exception until they're staring at the exact same mess as their predecessors.
