During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump defended his prediction that the Iran War will end after the 2026 midterm elections and responded to a question on why the war will end if Republicans lose the elections by saying that “a lot of people think if we lose, then I’ll be much more angry and I’ll just take care of business, that’s another way of doing it.”
Host Laura Ingraham said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is “trying to wait out the midterms as well, isn’t he?”
Trump responded, “I think a lot of people are. So, Iran’s — as soon as they’re — by the way, the war will end right after the midterms.”
Ingraham then asked, “If Republicans win. But if Republicans lose in the midterms, why would the Iran War end?”
Trump answered, “Well, I think a lot of people think if we lose, then I’ll be much more angry and I’ll just take care of business, that’s another way of doing it. Either way, they lose.”

Beyond the brilliance of it? I don’t get the question.
No point in “waiting it out”, though, is there?
Nope, life is too short.
Better vote Republican or Trumps going to be mad and just take care of business.
RE: ...defended his prediction that the Iran War will end after the 2026 midterm elections.
One of the two times I reacted with a yuge “NO.”
1) As I turned on the TV to see how the massive attack promised against Iran was going to begin at 8:00pm Eastern Time April 8, 2026:
Jesse Watters: “We have a ceasefire.” (His eyes glistening, looking excited.) No bombardments.
2) This time with Trump calmly saying maybe the war will end after the midterms. Meaning in some of our opinions, after we LOSE America to the socialists and Dems and Trump’s agenda is slowed to a stop by ongoing impeachments. A fizzled out and inconclusive war after billions spent and lives lost will make the Dems’ criticisms look good to voters.
NO.
I’m afraid I’ve given Trump too much credit for intellectual integrity.
At least, some of the morons in D.C. know that we’re smarter than they!
God help us.
Does anyone wanna take a stab at what the hell Trump is saying here?
—
He’s capitulating or surrendering depending on one’s viewpoint. The only question is who will meet Iran’s surrender terms?
Why? Are you having second thoughts girl?
.
Word salad is a communicable disease. LOL
Comes in handy at times, I guess.
Trump style psychology.
Or just get out now and focus on lowering gas and food prices.
Where did the idea come from that stipulates a POTUS has the power to lower prices?
Bust up the ag conglomerates, go after price gouging (it’s happening, don’t go to war because Israel tells you to.
I see you are a Tucker anti semite.
Noticing is not anti semitic.
“”whatever has to occur to make life worse for MAGA et-al will be what happens after the Mid Terms as per the request of the Democrats to their illustrious friends in Iran.””
.
Correct.
No matter what the weak-kneed here may have to say.
.
Iran is the (crypto)globalist’s AntiFa.
The US will win no matter what happens in the midterms. How is this confusing. Also, for what its worse I think his original point about the war being done after is just what it looks like is already happening. Iran is all in on the Democrats winning and their immediate catalyst for survival is a Democrat victory. Once that happens what is their next catalyst? If their play on getting Democrats elected doesn’t solve their problem do they have another play? Trump is suggesting he thinks they are going to put their best foot forward before the elections.
That’s what you all tell yourself.
