Trump’s latest Iran backtrack deepens his political crisis in the United States

Among the most recurring themes in Donald Trump’s prolific output on his social network, Truth, his attacks on the press stand out. Rare is the day when the president of the United States doesn’t go after one outlet or another journalist. Not all of those barbs are as harsh, however, as the one he fired on Tuesday at Elliot Kaufman — a “MORON,” he wrote to attack the member of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board. Trump also accused the newspaper — which is owned by his friend Rupert Murdoch — of “losing his way.”
