Breaking MSNOW: "WH OFFICIAL SAYS TRUMP FUNDAMENTALLY MISCALCULATED [View all]

ON IRAN AFTER NEW ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL"

So... a "WH official" has spoken to MSNOW and said that trump "miscalculated"?

What was this "official's" first clue? I mean....wow. And it is going to take a lot more than anonymous leaks from this administration's yes men to fix this.
