As the Iran war stretches into its second month, anger is mounting among some White House officials, according to a new report. Discontent over the Middle East conflict is concentrated among younger, “more-right wing” staffers, an unnamed source with knowledge of the matter told Politico.

“They’re very frustrated,” the individual said. “They didn’t love the war to start with, and since it began, the constantly contradictory messaging from the president himself, is just brutal, brutal for staff to deal with and making their life really hard. He puts his people in a really tough position, especially people who are public-facing.”

The 79‑year‑old Republican president and other senior administration officials have offered up multiple justifications for the war, citing an imminent Iranian threat to the U.S. while also pointing to regime change as a factor. Trump has also sent mixed signals about when the conflict might end and whether or not he intends to deploy ground troops.

A White House spokesperson dismissed the Politico report, claiming that, by waging the war, the Republican president is acting on issues central to younger generations.

1. Awww, you thought Donald Trump was telling the truth about anything

That’s so cute.

[Cha]

2. the PEDO Protectors in the "WH" are Nothing

but a Shitload of LIES.

Grateful some staffers are "Angry".. I know Patriots across the country and Ocean are Mad as Hill!

[Rebl2]

12. If they

are so mad, why don’t they quit.

[sop]

3. I find this hard to believe.

They're upset about Iran, but all the other crap Trump's done hasn't bothered them?

4. There is a loud subset of MAGats

who want "America First" and actual "isolationism", having believed the lies about "no more 'forever wars". They are like the other subset of MAGats who continue to push for release of the Epstein files.

All these subsets are finding that they have been betrayed.

7. If we're lucky, some of them will prevent Trump from making a nuclear attack

on Iran.

But who would stop Netanyahu?

9. Would have to rely on uncompromised generals

and those few billionaires who understand that doing something like that would be "bad for global business".

(ETA - keep in mind that despite Iran's attempts at nukes, Pakistan DOES have them... which is partially why I think they have suddenly become involved in mediation and they are a predominately Muslim country)

5. It didn't happen to them

This might. It's the key to understanding Republicans.

6. It feels like something is going to break soon.

Hoping it’s him and not us. He’s hellbent on taking everyone down.

8. no way they dont grok that he's humiliating them for sport.

they’re stupid, but they’re minimally sentient.

[niyad]

13. Are you quite sure about that?

[mopinko]

14. yes. yes i am.

cuz ya know what? bitter white guys keep careful track of slights.

[niyad]

15. I do hope that you are correct, because any evidence of sentience

in them has escaped me, with the glaring exception of naziferatu.

10. Doesn't matter when they have their M-16 locked and loaded in Iran

They might reconsider lots of things….

Whether they might want their platoon leader to be a competent DEI or would they just want a white man.

Whether the person of color next to them might have been looking at their hateful blogs and they are forced to question - who has their back.

The GOP younger generation is in for a rude awaking…

[Martin Eden]

11. These young Nazis don't like war, because...

Ultimately, it brought about the end of the Third Reich.
