Trump post 'shameful' and indicative of an angry, frustrated president: Mid East expert | ABC NEWS

Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says Trump's use of profanity and his mocking of Islam in a Truth Social post reflects an angry and frustrated president.
He says Trump could commit a war crime if he follows through with his threats to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran. However, that is unlikely to have any impact on his thinking or decision making. Aaron David Miller also thinks we are headed for an escalation on all sides of the war.
