Trump's Iran war is 'an absolutely stupid adventure' | Patrick Sigler-Lathrop

What was said

"Then he's going to do like almost all presidents do in their second term after they lose control of Congress, they go into the one area where they're free to continue to act with impunity, is the area of international politics. So we who live in Europe are going to get not less of Trump, but more of Trump in his last 2 years in office after the midterms."

Sigler Lathrop predicted that following an expected Republican loss in the midterm elections, Trump will shift focus heavily toward international affairs where presidential power remains unrestricted. Europeans should expect increased, not decreased, Trump involvement in foreign policy during his final two years, potentially creating further diplomatic turmoil given his interest in Greenland and disdain for Europe.
