Six months into the US war with Iran, President Donald Trump appears disengaged, focusing on White House renovations rather than the conflict during a recent press conference. At least 18 US service members have died and over 750 wounded, with thousands more casualties in Iran and Lebanon. Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33 percent, the lowest of his term, amid rising gasoline prices and voter anger ahead of November's midterm elections. Analysts say the war could cost Republicans control of Congress, risking Trump's legislative agenda and a potential third impeachment. Experts doubt he has fully abandoned the conflict, citing his concern for his historical legacy.
