The Emperor's Blinders: Downplaying War's Costs Donald Trump's recent comments downplaying the war with Iran, calling it "small potatoes," raise more questions than answers about his administration's priorities and ability to grasp reality.
As the conflict enters its seventh month, 18 US service members have been killed, while thousands of Iranians are dead and over 750 US service members wounded.
Trump's characterization of the conflict as a "war" is striking given his own previous dismissal of its significance.
