President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies seem to be realizing that there is no “formula” to save Trump from the disastrous fallout of the war in Iran, according to one of Trump’s biographers.
Since Trump decided to bomb Iran in late February, global energy markets have been in upheaval. The average cost of a gallon of gas in the U.S. has risen by more than $1 per gallon over the last month, at a time when public polls show voters are most concerned about the rising cost of living.
Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, argued on a recent episode of “Inside Trump’s Head,” a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, that Trump and his MAGA faithful are starting to realize that the war in Iran is an issue that could bleed over into the midterms, and that could be disastrous for the president.
“Everybody is beginning to try to find the political formula in which Donald Trump and MAGA and this whole enterprise can be saved, and [they are] beginning to worry that there is no such formula,” Wolff said.
He argued that the pushback Trump has received from within his own base could spell doom for him during the midterms as well. That could compound if Trump decides to abruptly pull out of Iran and declare victory with Iran maintaining control over its uranium supply and being led by an unpredictable regime, Wolff added.
“Beyond that, that sense that he has betrayed his movement is, I think, real and going to bite him in the a–,” Wolff said.
