'This feels different': Conservative says new scandal knocked Trump off-kilter [View all]
Charlie Sykes is frequently critical of trump, but I'm posting this because of the last paragraph in this snip.
He seems very threatened by doubts on his "accomplishment."
The leak they speak of is the early assessment of the doubtful accomplishment of the strikes.

Conservative writer Charlie Sykes claimed in a new article that President Donald Trump has been so unnerved by the Iran scandal fueled by his own administration's claims that he can focus on nothing else.
So far, only one of 17 intelligence agencies released reports on the possible effects of last weekend's bombing, yet the Trump administration continues to call it a raging success. When the press has questioned exactly how Trump knows Iran's nuclear capabilities have been wiped out, the president has been going ballistic.
"Trumpian rage rants are, of course, routine," Sykes wrote. "But Playbook suggests that this time feels different. 'The president posted 21 times on Truth Social yesterday about the supposed success of his military strikes. And at yesterday’s NATO summit — a moment specifically designed by the Western world for Trump to bask in the glory of a huge defense spending boost — he spent most of his public appearances repeating his assertions on Iran.'”
Sykes turned to Politico's reporting to find the reasoning behind Trump's "latest indignant frenzy."
"Critics see a president spooked by a bombshell leak that has undermined his authority," wrote Politico's Jack Blanchard and Dasha Burns.
As usual, he is doing himself in. 
If he posted 21 times, that's roughly twice an hour in a 10-hour day. Safe to say it's constantly on his "mind."
