Trump initiated the war in Iran without attempting to garner public support. When this support failed to materialize, he criticized the American public, allies, and the media for not boosting his popularity in response to the conflict.
On Monday, Trump once again attempted to sway the media and stock market with misleading statements about the war.
President Trump announced on Monday morning that a peace agreement with Iran would be finalized “today” in Islamabad, claiming that Vice President Vance was en route.

The president’s falsehoods did not result in a stock market increase or altered news coverage.
Trump noticed this lack of impact and was mentally affected.
