The Opinions · The New Tactic Trump Thinks Will Rally Voters · 25 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, I wanna begin by paraphrasing Darth Sidious from Star Wars. voice-verified

All is unfolding as we have foreseen. voice-verified

That this is, voice-verified

A very predictable outcome, and it's been very predictable ever since. voice-verified

And I really want to commend our colleagues on the news side. voice-verified

They did this really, I thought, insightful analysis in the middle of one of the rounds of negotiations, because we've been through a few rounds of negotiations. voice-verified

And essentially what they were saying was, how do you negotiate a resolution to a war when both sides are zealously committed to declaring victory? voice-verified

And one of the things that you have seen here is one of the reasons why we keep cycling into not fully war, not fully peace, not fully war, not fully peace, is that both sides have this, well, Trump in particular has an aversion to a longer war, and he also has an aversion to having been seen as losing a war, right? voice-verified

So he's got both of these things going on at once. voice-verified

The one thing he does not want by any stretch of the imagination is for somebody to be able to credibly say, you cut a worse deal than Obama. voice-verified

You were taken for a ride by the nation of Iran. voice-verified

That is the absolute last thing that he wants. voice-verified

At the same time, the Iranian regime voice-verified

also has a desire to be seen as having triumphed over the United States. voice-verified

That's a very important thing, both domestically and internationally, for Iran to be seen as having triumphed over the United States. voice-verified

So you don't just have strategic, long-term strategic thinking going on here. voice-verified

And in fact, on the U.S. voice-verified

side, I would say that an awful lot of people on the U.S. voice-verified

side are not engaging in long-term strategic thinking at all. voice-verified

But some are, but many are not. voice-verified
