Trump Sells a War. The Public Sees the Bill. Donald Trump made the strongest case he could for the Iran war, but the country is looking at something else: higher oil prices, a shaky exit plan, and a conflict that could still blow back into a global recession. The problem is not just persuasion — it is trust, and Trump is running low on it. That is why the speech landed badly. He talked like a man promising control, while markets heard uncertainty and voters heard gas at more than $4 a gallon. Even Trump’s insistence that the Strait of Hormuz would “naturally” reopen did not calm fears that the war could keep the world economy hostage. The political danger is already measurable. A CNN analysis said the war is hitting Trump’s presidency at the exact moment his approval is already fragile, while oil markets jumped again on fresh fears of escalation. If Washington wants out, it will need a way to leave that does not look like surrender. That is where intermediaries matter, and Russia is one of the few players with enough leverage in Tehran to help package an exit without Trump admitting defeat. #Trump#Iran#oilprices#Russia#USpolitics 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
