Members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle are experiencing “buyer’s remorse” over the Iran conflict and are beginning to regard Operation Epic Fury as a disastrous mistake, according to a report.

The U.S. and Israel launched surprise joint airstrikes against Tehran in the early hours of Saturday, February 28, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Ayatollah Khamenei on the first day of the aerial bombardment, ending his 47-year authoritarian reign in one fell swoop.

Iran quickly hit back with retaliatory strikes of its own against its Gulf neighbor states hosting American and Israeli military assets. So far, 13 U.S. servicemembers have died. Meanwhile, Tehran’s moves to target tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world’s total oil supply is shipped, have caused global fuel prices to soar.

Now an administration source quoted by Axios has claimed that Trump was “high on his own supply” when he gave the greenlight for the joint operation to commence.

1. They are so unqualified to deal with mental health crises

Malignant narcissism becomes more pronounced with age. Could result in oodles and boodles of plastic surgery. Or invincibility delusions. Or younger and younger companions, no matter the cost. Power is not studied as much because of fewer examples. Mix in Operation Epstein Files, and there you have a home brew.

2. This administration leaks like a sieve

Would love to know who the source is…my guess is it’s someone not wearing a brand new pair of ill fitting Florsheims…

3. They completely fucked up big time. This wretched regime has gone completely mad with power.

All the sick fucks that made this happen need to be fired and imprisoned immediately.

5. This wretched regime has gone completely mad with power. That sums it all up in nine words.

[Initech]

7. And that's the nicest thing I can say about these scumbags!

[Blues Heron]

4. Realistically how much longer can this last? The harm is being felt globally, how long are the ptb putting up with this

15. Until t is no longer useful, and they can't make any more money off of it.

6. Ahem ... (cough, cough) ... 25th Amendment ... maybe it's time?

[Grim Chieftain]

13. Should have been invoked during his first term

[ShazzieB]

8. Trump was "high on his own supply"?

9. Time for an intervention.

I doubt it would actually work, but a bunch of people in that inner circle need to sit him down and read him the riot act. Threaten to 25th him if he doesn’t do something.

10. And joining the Trump regime was a disastrous mistake.

Consider the stupidity of believing the second Trump regime would be any different than the first.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. Why. Can't. He. Just. Die?

Think of all the good, decent people we have lost in recent months, and yet there he is, the most vile, toxic, wretched being ever to occupy the presidency.

God, I loathe him and his enablers.

12. Buyer's remorse?

It’s more like a dumbass’s doubletake.
Trump and his clueless team are creating a failure of historical proportion.

14. High on sniffing his own farts.

16. He's been high on his own supply since he came down the escalator.

He lives in a fantasy world created by his malignant narcissism and cruel psychopathy. He doesn't just believe his own hype. His is so immersed in his own delusions of brilliance and power he lost all contact with reality years ago.

The true insanity are the number of people who joined him in his deluded bubble.

As more if them crash into the wall of reality, there will be more and more "leaks" about his volatility and opposition in the ranks.
