| It's Not Just Iran. Trump Is Flailing on Multiple Fronts.
|
| The president is on a losing streak, and even some of his
| aides are dismayed by his choices.
| ...
| Meanwhile, as negotiations with Iran stumble forward, the
| Strait of Hormuz is still in Tehran's hands and now
| President Trump has authorized a risky naval blockade that
| will likely send prices soaring further. Moreover, Trump's
| poll numbers have continued to fall, Republicans worry that
| both houses of Congress could be lost in November, and the
| president threw away a remarkable amount of geopolitical
| capital trying to support his now-defeated illiberal buddy
| Viktor Orban of Hungary. Oh, and Trump deeply offended
| adherents of the world's two largest religions in one
| week's time.

Even Susan Collins went along to get along with Republicans and voted yesterday to reject another War Powers Resolution to limit Trump on
Iran.

She's toast in Maine after November, maybe she knew she was anyway and
doesn't care anymore.
