Republican insiders are increasingly nervous that President Donald Trump is living in ignorance, even as he conducts a major war that he started and tramples the global economy. <\/p>\n

Republican members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees told the Daily Mail that Trump\u2019s top military brass are too terrified to speak truth to the president about the damage he\u2019s doing to the world and the hopelessness of the quagmire in which he\u2019s embedded himself and taxpayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, are being accused of not being willing to relay what troops are seeing to the president,\u201d reports the Mail. \u201cAnd two MAGA-connected Republican lawmakers, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly, have shared their concerns about Trump’s military leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHegseth is afraid of Trump and won’t be as honest as he should about the war for fear of losing his job,\u201d they told Daily Mail\u2019s White House Correspondent Jon Michael Raasch.<\/p>\n

Additionally, according to one lawmaker, Caine is not even considered to be in Trump’s \u201cinner circle,\u201d and the president, he said, is \u201csurrounded by a bunch of fearful yes men who can’t tell POTUS the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI see very few ways to wrap up Iran other than to withdraw and somehow market that as a \u2018win,\u2019\u201d said the lawmaker.<\/p>\n

A sitting Republican Senator added that Trump is flying blind because Caine is failing to connect US Central Command leader Admiral Brad Cooper directly with the president \u2014 despite Cooper being the man in charge of operations against Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneral Caine is making a mistake by not encouraging the president and Admiral Cooper to sit down and hear his view of how this operation could be successful,\u201d fumed the Senate Armed Services Committee lawmaker privately to the Mail. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s plan for Iran is still not clear as the war he started becomes a monthslong slog sliding treacherously into the midterms. Every peace deal Trump has hinted at over the weeks has melted. Most recently, Iranian leaders put a deal Trump implied to the torch this week as it ensued bombing US allies.<\/p>\n

The Senator speaking with the Daily Mail accused Caine of being afraid of blowback to any potentially risky continued operation, calling him “abundantly cautious.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s not a formula for getting out of conflict successfully,\u201d the Senator added. \u201cI think you should let the commander on the ground [Cooper] give his view to the Commander-in-Chief.\u201d<\/p>\n
