This week’s Elephant in the Room: everything is starting to fall apart. Trump’s escalating Iran War looks less like strategy and more like a desperate attempt to change the subject from the growing fallout around the Epstein Files, mounting scandals, and an administration that seems increasingly out of its depth. Wars don’t erase political crises — they amplify them. And this one is already shaping up to be wildly unpopular, dangerously unpredictable, and potentially catastrophic for American lives, the global economy, and stability in the Middle East. Rick Wilson breaks down why Trump’s Iran war, the political explosion surrounding the Epstein scandal, and a White House running on panic and distraction could collide into one of the biggest geopolitical and political trainwrecks of the decade.
