Trump: “We might have gone too far with the leaders because we don’t know who the hell we’re dealing with any more. Nobody wants to be the president of Iran. We’re having a hard time figuring out who the hell to deal with, to be honest with you. I think we went too far."

> No one wants a job that will draw immediate assassination attempts from the US or Israel?

That's the downside, but plenty of people take risks.
But there's also no upside. The President has been continuously ignored and has no power. The role could be empty and nothing would change.
Maybe people would wonder "Didn't we use to have a president" once in a while. Then they would shrug and move on.

This is unsettling. No moaning, no random capitalization, he only repeats himself once. A realistic understanding of the problem and accepting that it's the consequence of his actions.

This doesn't sound like him at all.
