Be Careful What You Wish For

Donald Trump gave himself credit for the Baghdad attack that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani two days ago.  As he often does, Mr. Trump responded poorly to criticism of that action, even pretending to ignore the 48-houir deadline imposed on him by the War Powers Act of 1973 (also sometimes called the War Powers Resolution).

But Trump may find himself hoisted by his own petard.  It's reported that, among the forms of retaliation against the United States being considered by Iran, Tehran will almost certainly attempt to prevent Mr. Trump's re-election.
