MORNING GLORY: President Trump’s triple bogey
This is an opinion piece by Hugh Hewitt for Fox News, arguing that President Donald Trump's handling of the Iran situation has been akin to a "triple bogey" in golf, and that he must now stage a comeback. Hewitt frames the piece around an extended golfing analogy, noting Trump's reputation as an accomplished golfer, before turning to criticism of the administration's Iran strategy, including the pausing of strikes and pursuit of a diplomatic deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The article draws on Hewitt's decades of experience as a golf caddy to illustrate his argument, comparing seasoned golfers' declining performance with age to strategic missteps in foreign policy. The piece appears alongside related Fox News commentary on the Iran conflict, including pieces noting the issue is dividing Trump's supporters and questioning what changes if Iran is brought to the negotiating table. The full detail of Hewitt's specific criticisms was not available in the retrieved text.
