Sidney Blumenthal: “Donald Trump has lost his war in reality and virtual reality, not only with Iran but also in the arena where he thought he was the eternal master, in image and myth. He has lost it on land, sea and air—and in thin air. He has lost his war both physically and metaphorically. He has lost it in the Strait of Hormuz, but, perhaps equally dangerous for his political survival, he has lost it in his manosphere.”
