[US Media: Trump Appears Arrogant Publicly, But Is Filled with Fear Internally] BlockBeats News, April 19 — The Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. President Trump seems to have lost his "spirit of adventure," while his sense of fear continues to grow. Previously, in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House, Trump learned that a U.S. fighter jet had been shot down in Iran and two pilots were missing. Shortly afterward, he spent hours yelling at his aides, repeatedly saying, "The Europeans haven't helped at all." According to people who have spoken with him, images of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis have been haunting his mind. After the U.S. pilots were rescued, the arrogant president took a gamble, attempting to weaken Iran's strongest leverage—its control over the Strait of Hormuz. At the time, Trump posted: "Open the strait, you lunatics." The president, who has always been keen on creating dramatic moments, applied his unconventional and extreme approach to a war in an even more radical manner. He alternated between adopting a belligerent stance and a conciliatory strategy, while secretly agonizing over how far the situation might deteriorate. He feared ordering troops into dangerous areas, which could result in injuries or prevent some from returning home—similar to the concerns faced by other presidents who have experienced war. (Jin10)
