“What is Trump’s endgame in Iran?”
March 10, 2026; Since an elementary school was bombed on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, reports have come out highlighting the cost of the effort. One hundred and seventy-five people died at the school, most of them children. Eight American soldiers have died so far, and more than 140 have been injured. And with the administration unable to provide a coherent, consistent answer to how or why any of this is worth it, even President Donald Trump’s own base is calling for accountability. Nicolle Wallace discusses with Shawn McCreesh, Miles Taylor, Mark Hertling and Sen. Chris Murphy.
