How do we make sense of Trump's seemingly nonsensical comments on Iran?
I'd say: look to Trump's reverence for The Power of Positive Thinking and its author, Norman Vincent Peale.
Peale, you see, argues that if you believe hard enough that something will happen, you can will it into being. 1/🧵

Those of you celebrating the Knicks’ victory in the NBA Championship should enjoy yourselves and leave this one for later.
Basically, Trump isn't just a liar. He's a liar who, by virtue of his socialization into Peale's ideas about manifestation, believes that if he just thinks those lies hard enough, he can--with only the power of his thoughts--make his lies be true. 4/

Fast forward, and Trump finds himself in a situation where he very much needs the Iran war to end (even though he started it). But rather than actually do anything to end it, he's just leaning on his Pealean training and clinging to the idea that if he says it enough, it will be. 3/
Trump, meanwhile, attended Peale's church as a child--Peale even officiated Trump's first marriage-- and both Trump and Trump's father were big fans of Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking. 2/
