"When escalation does not deliver immediate results, he questions the process itself."
And Trump simultaneously creates a new rationale in order to move the goal post. Just recently it was, if Iran still holds the strait, "Then we'll charge tolls on freight." Note that this was never a goal of Trump's war to begin with. Those original points are out the window now, so he has to invent new ones--never mind that this one is the same one that Iran claims.
And what of America stomping in and taking a shipping lane that doesn't belong to us? Is this fine with Congress, which has yet to approve the fighting? Is it even achievable or desirable? No one asks these questions, just accepts that Trump's latest whim works as a rationale for an illegal war.

A know it all president only makes it all worse. It’s always back up and punt.
You write as if Trump is a rational human being. We can only wish he were.
