Trump has twice stated that he received a "confession"-like statement from a former president: this former president expressed remorse in a private conversation, regretting not having the courage to attack Iran as Trump did. However, all four sitting former presidents of the United States have clarified through their aides that they have not recently contacted Trump. Meanwhile, Trump himself has refused to reveal who this former president is, which has led to external doubts about whether this eccentric president has once again fallen into his old habit of speaking recklessly. However, some details can provide some clues, and this former president is likely Clinton.

The four former presidents seem to have a poor relationship with Trump

This incident occurred on March 16th, when Trump spoke at the opening of a meeting of the Kennedy Center Board of Directors at the White House, discussing the current situation regarding Iran. To further support the justification for attacking Iran and to elevate himself, Trump repeatedly emphasized: for decades, Iran has always been a threat to the United States, but no president was willing to act, only he was the only president with the courage to take military action against Iran.

At the same time, he also further revealed: a former president had talked to him about Iran, and he really wanted to do what he did.

This statement immediately attracted media interest: which former president was it? When the media asked, Trump refused to name him. Later that day, Trump brought up the topic again, but he continued to refuse to reveal the identity of this former president.

Currently, there are four sitting former presidents in the United States, but none of them have good relationships with Trump, or they are very cold. More interestingly, these four sitting former presidents all made statements through their representatives: they have not spoken to Trump recently. This has increased external confusion: is Trump speaking nonsense again? But in reality, Trump would not bring up this issue without reason; there must be something fishy behind it.

If someone loves war the most, it's definitely Bush

Subsequently, the media caught a detail: when Trump brought up this issue again later that evening on March 16th, a reporter immediately asked: Is it Bush? This reaction was very interesting. The reason the reporter first mentioned Bush was mainly because of two reasons: first, he and Trump are both Republicans, although their relationship is cold, they are still from the same party, and in some ways, they share similar ideologies.

Second, and more importantly, when it comes to wars in the Middle East, Bush is certainly the most aggressive among the four. During his term, he launched two wars in a row. After the Iraq War, Bush once considered attacking Iran to completely change the Middle East, but due to the Iraq War becoming a quagmire, Bush was forced to abandon the idea of attacking Iran. If among these four sitting former presidents, who is most likely to support Trump attacking Iran, Bush is undoubtedly the highest probability.

But when the reporter asked this probing question, Trump directly denied it. Then the reporter continued to ask, "Is it Clinton?" At this point, Trump's attitude showed a slight subtle change. He did not publicly deny it as before, but simply answered, "I don't want to say."

Normally, Clinton's relationship with Trump is also bad. They did have contact, but during the 2016 election, their relationship broke down directly. Trump even publicly mocked Clinton over the "Lewinsky affair," so it doesn't look like Clinton at all?

This person is likely Clinton

However, the Associated Press found that recently, due to the "Epstein case," the Clintons have faced a storm, forcing them to testify before Congress, which is unprecedented in American history. On February 4th, Trump said in an interview that he really likes Clinton, and he understands him. It is worth mentioning that when Trump discussed this issue on March 16th, he also said that he really likes this former president.

If it is indeed Clinton, why did he deny recently communicating with Trump? Actually, Trump himself gave the answer: he does not want to say who it is, otherwise it will cause trouble for this person.
