'Ready to move on': Trump adviser says he's growing increasingly 'bored' with Iran war [View all]

(AlterNet) President Donald Trump is growing increasingly "bored" with the Iran war, according to Jonathan Lemire of The Atlantic, describing comments from and "outside adviser" who speaks "regularly" with the president.

According to Lemire's Friday report, "Trump really, really wants the war with Iran to end."

It turns out the war is far more difficult than Trump anticipated, and it has lasted much longer than he expected, the report said.

"He doesn’t want to be bogged down in a Middle East conflict like some of his predecessors were. He doesn’t want it to upend his high-stakes summit next week in China. He is ready to move on," said Lemire.
