Trump's Doubts on Pahlavi's Iran Leadership

In a recent Oval Office chat, President Trump shared his thoughts on various global issues. He mentioned Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's last shah, saying he seems like a nice guy but isn't sure if Iranians would support him as a leader. Trump has been vocal about backing Iranian protesters but held back from fully endorsing Pahlavi. Iran's opposition is split into different groups, making it hard to see who could lead if the current government falls. Trump thinks the government might collapse but isn't certain. He also talked about the Ukraine war, blaming President Zelenskiy for the lack of progress in peace talks. Trump claims Putin is ready to make a deal, but Zelenskiy is holding things up.On the home front, Trump dismissed Republican concerns about his interference with the Federal Reserve. He told them to stay loyal and ignored criticism from JPMorgan's CEO about inflation risks. Trump also praised Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, whom he plans to meet, and the acting Venezuelan president, Delcy Rodriguez, for being easy to work with. Trump's comments show his mixed feelings about foreign leaders and his focus on loyalty from his own party. His views on Iran and Ukraine highlight the challenges in predicting political changes and ending conflicts. Meanwhile, his handling of the Venezuelan situation shows his approach to supporting opposition leaders.
