Trump saying he doesn't want to "get it over before the Midterms" (his Iran war) is your confirmation that he does

Trump said Wednesday there is “no time frame” for the conflict with Iran and rejected suggestions that political considerations are influencing his approach.

He also said, in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, that there was “no time pressure” on the ceasefire that he extended Tuesday afternoon or for new peace talks to occur.

Asked when the war might come to an end, Trump said there was “no time frame” and there was no rush. He had previously said the war would last four to six weeks, but it’s now in its seventh week.

“People say I want to get it over because of the midterms, not true,” Trump said, adding that the administration wanted to “get a good deal for the American people.”
