In the wake of new reporting<\/u> showing that Iran was plotting another assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, a leading conservative voice is questioning whether he still has \u201call his marbles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether or not you believe our 80-year-old president retains all his marbles,\u201d senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty<\/u> wrote Friday for the conservative National Review ,\u201cour commander-in-chief did not help himself when, at the G7 summit in France, he emphasized how rational, nice, strong and smart and \u2018not radicalized\u2019 the current leadership of the Iranian government is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geraghty makes this assertion in the context of the assassination plot, noting, \u201cThere is a good chance that, while Trump was telling the international press about how great the Iranian mullahs were, they were plotting to kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Geraghty writes, \u201cThis is at least the third time the Iranian government has been tied to a plot to assassinate Trump. The first was Pakistani national Asif Merchant in July 2024<\/u>; the second was alleged IRGC operative Farhad Shakeri in November 2024<\/u>; and now, this one\u2026The plots to kill Trump are separate from the Iranian plots to assassinate former National Security Adviser John Bolton<\/u>, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo<\/u>, former Special Envoy for Iran Brian Hook<\/u>, former CENTCOM commander General Frank McKenzie<\/u> and former Secretary of Defense Mike Esper.<\/u>\u201c<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, Geraghty says Trump ends up sounding \u201cnaive and foolish\u201d with his tendency to slingshot between over-the-top praise for the Iranian leadership and calling them \u201cscum<\/u>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days ago,\u201d writes Geraghty, \u201cthe often-sharp Logan Dobson asked why people were surprised that Trump is hyperbolic and exaggerates:<\/u> \u2018When he\u2019s negotiating with someone and trying to get to a deal, he says over-the-top nice things about them, and when he feels someone has wronged him\/America, he says over-the-top mean things about them.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

But according to Geraghty, it\u2019s not that \u201cpeople are surprised that Trump says things like this. They\u2019re saying it\u2019s not good for Trump or the country for him to say things that are objectively not true with the whole world watching. He sounds na\u00efve and foolish when he sings the praises of the Iranians one week, then later comes back and says everyone who doubted their trustworthiness was right all along.\u201d<\/p>\n
