Trump and Carter: Lessons of History

The article compares the situation of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter before the 1980 elections with that of current President Donald Trump amid the war with Iran and ongoing political crises.

It appears that Trump is facing a comparable situation amid deteriorating conditions in the Gulf and declining American public support for the war. The article notes that Iran is exploiting the crisis to escalate tensions and play a role in worsening Trump's situation as the midterm elections approach. U.S. efforts to halt the escalation are facing difficulties, while Iran is adopting a strategy of delaying solutions and intensifying attacks. Meanwhile, Trump faces both internal and external challenges that impact his electoral prospects.
