When Trump spoke before Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives today, he referred to the Iran conflict, which has now involved more than 20 countries, as a "short trip." He said, "We took a little 'trip,' because we felt we had to do it to eliminate some evil forces. I think you'll soon see that it's just a short trip. How great our army is, right? Amazing. Truly amazing. A short trip. A short trip. Thank you. They are great."
Comment: Trump is eager to declare the end of the war and call a major conflict a "short trip," which is entirely out of fear of dragging on, fearing losses, and fearing a reversal in his campaign. If the war drags on, it will raise oil prices, impact the US stock market, and cause military casualties, directly hitting the pain points of the US economy and public opinion, and would damage his electoral base. He uses the lightest language to forcibly conclude the situation, while exaggerating the results to create an image of victory, and at the same time giving the market and voters a sense of security. Essentially, he treats military operations as a political and financial tool, taking profits quickly and cutting losses, and absolutely not allowing the flames of the Middle East to affect his political future.
