Insiders reveal tensions as Trump 'getting a little bored' of war

Tensions are flaring and major divisions are forming within the White House over President Donald Trump's comments about how the war in Iran has already been won, according to a new report from MS NOW, with insider sources revealing that he is "getting a little bored with" the war he started.

Speaking with MS NOW for a report published Friday morning, sources within the White House expressed frustration over the contradictions in Trump's handling of the Iran conflict, with him both declaring victory early and ordering the deployment of thousands of new troops to the Middle East, all while the Pentagon plans to request billions in funding. The insiders described the president's communications as "confusing, internally inconsistent and increasingly detached from battlefield reality."

"It’s part [of Trump] just wanting to declare victory and move on," one senior White House official told MS NOW, adding that the president's claims about the war being won are "mostly hyperbole."

The official continued: "[Trump] is getting a little bored with Iran. Not that he regrets it or something — he’s just bored and wants to move on."

Another White House official said that Trump is eager to "move on" from the conflict he started with Israel and focus on domestic issues like the economy, which are certain to determine the outcome of the midterm elections in November. The war has resulted in a historically massive disruption in the global oil supply, sending gas prices into the stratosphere and tanking one of the only affordability messages he might have been able to make.

Another source, a former Trump official, told MS NOW that the president is betting on his ability to convince the American people of his own lies. While that has worked for some issues in the past, the former official expressed doubt that he will be able to manage it again without real results.

"He has learned he can tell the American people his feeling, and — with enough time — the American people will accept his lie,” the former White House official explained. “Just telling us the war is won isn’t good enough. We need to see it; we need to feel it.”
