Trump is pushing to escalate the Iran war while even Fox News hosts seem to be backing away — bad for Iran, bad for the war-weary, and a worrying sign about Trump himself.

• Trump wants to hit Iran harder, talking about taking an island, landing troops, and bombing bridges, power plants, and water supplies.
• Even Fox News hosts sound uneasy on camera, trying to calm him down like an intervention.
• He seems obsessed with the PR war, upset that the media won't call him a winner, and sounds down about turning 80.
• A UFC fight is being staged on the White House lawn, sponsored by crypto, trucks, and beer.
• Oil executives are warning that gas prices will keep rising as the conflict drags on.

Outlook: More bombing and possible escalation toward ground troops in Iran appear likely in the near term.
