    I think this is a real possibility but the danger is the people around him -- Pompeo & Esper -- will foreclose the de-escalation option.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1214727694732144641 …

    I know this is going to sound crazy in the heat of the moment but if this is true my bet is that Trump takes the off-ramp. https://twitter.com/jenanmoussa/status/1214726322053881856 …

        Is there anyone in his administration who can help him reach this decision? Because I feel he will have his advisors egg him on for escalation.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        In an ideal world, this would be the characteristic Trump moment when he walks away and declare victory. I'm not optimistic about that, though: it seems more likely the will "double down," e.g. escalate towards the war with Iran that Trump seems to have wanted all along.

        He has a long history of doubling down despite the odds, despite the truth, despite the insanity.

        Might have been a good idea to slather Trump with praise. No way Trump doesn’t hit back without the Iranians gushing over how magnificent he is.

        I don't believe for a second the Pentagon line that this was trump choosing an option from a menu that surprised them. The Hawks clearly have his ear and he's doing whatever they want.

        I’m not sure Esper is in the same class as Pompeo. OTOH, Trump listens to Pompeo more than anyone else
