Trump's inner circle is reportedly privately pushing him to find an exit from the Iran war as oil prices spike past $100, polling shows most Americans oppose the conflict, and nervous Republicans are already calling about the midterms.Trump told reporters Monday the war would be over "very soon" and that the U.S. is "way ahead of schedule." But minutes later he added: "We could go further, and we're going to go further." At this point, he's negotiating with himself in real time.The tell is in the details.His advisers are watching oil prices with "alarm." They've built a new communications strategy to "sell the public" on the war.Trump has been briefed on polling. Republicans are making worried phone calls. And the White House just admitted it needs to lift oil sanctions on unnamed countries to bring prices down.The problem is Israel still wants to strike, Iran's new leader won't bend, and the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Trump wants off the ride but nobody is letting him get to the exit.Source: WSJ
