United States President Donald Trump has denied being dragged into war with Iran by Israel as he faces increasing criticism over the conflict, including from segments of his own base.

Translation: Netanyahu talked Trump into it, but Trump was too stupid to know he’d been played.
In all fairness, “This is false, Trump is lying” is by far the most likely thing when he says anything that makes him look better (or at least less bad).
IMHO the most likely scenarion is that Trump was played by Netanyahu, later figured it out or was told that he had been played and now is lying about not having been played in the first place.
Why assuming he was played? The action the administration took to make this happen was too extreme to say “he was played”
The money all the rich made with market manipulation doesn’t indicate he was played.
Everything point at him and his groups to be actively benefiting from this situation.
He’s a psychologically sick guy with a profound Narcisist complex whose constantly harping about how he’s great at everything.
People who believe themselves better than everybody else and hence would never fall for a scam are some of the best marks around for scammers.
So it seems like a reasonable explanation that he got swindled into doing something which superficially looked like a win - especially in light of the recent similar “win” in Venezuela - but had secondary effects which turned it into a defeat.
Mind you, I’m not “assuming” jack shit, I’m just putting forward what I think is a likely explanation.
