The Atlantic published an article today titled "Why Trump Lost"
The author analyzes in the article how Trump's personality destroyed his chances of winning:
Arrogant: He mocked previous presidents and ignored major historical complexities like the "Strait of Hormuz," believing that a problem that stumped everyone before him would magically disappear the moment he appeared tough!
Reckless: He dives into desperate adventures without any "exit plan" or vision for the endgame, just as he did during the events of January 6, 2021.
Hates Institutions: He sidelined the National Security Council, ignored official procedures, and placed people in sensitive positions based on blind loyalty rather than competence.
Panics Under Pressure: Despite his tough-guy statements, he can't handle stress.
He started looking for an end to the war at any cost from mid-March onward, and the Iranians read this retreat and exploited it to their advantage.
Politically Naive: He's now negotiating a withdrawal that hands Iran massive concessions and greater control over the Gulf, and yet he's convinced himself that he's achieved a historic victory.
Lacks Military Leadership Skills: War requires a leader capable of uniting the nation and working with Congress to justify sacrifices, but Trump only knows how to issue orders and address his electoral base.
In the end..
This war will end on terms that are extremely bad for the United States. And as usual, Trump will expend all his efforts trying to fool his people and the world into believing that the defeat he suffered is the "greatest victory in history".. but this time, it's hard for anyone to believe him.
