The article critically analyzes President Trump's foreign policy, especially his "war" with Iran, contrasting it with Obama's "Don't do stupid shit" doctrine. While acknowledging successes like the Abraham accords, the author argues Trump launched the Iran conflict without a victory plan, deeming it "daft." This has disrupted Gulf business models and eroded Middle Eastern partners' faith in America. The piece concludes Trump's reckless stupidity, despite some shared instincts with Obama, risks consuming his presidency and causing regional catastrophes.
