And Trump is trying to tard-wrangle the Middle East, a place wholly dedicated to killing each other for centuries. If only there was some way to combine Massie's realistic stance on Israel with Trump's effective border control policy. Could you imagine if the government had some sort of system where people could party up and work together?
Holocaust guilt(carefully cultivated).
If Trump had any real balls, he would've just told Israel that the next time they strike the Iranians unprompted, the US will take Gaza for the Palestinians.
Trump is the Goku of Presidents. Even when he's defeated, he comes back harder, faster, stronger with a new form.
Trump has always had more economic nationalist views he was talking about how the U.S was getting trade raped back in the 1990s,he's bragged about major infrastructure plans and he feuds with the federal reserve. Also after 2020 libertarian tech bro types abandoned him in favor of Desantis and Vivek but real American patriots stood by him.
Growing up, I didn't hear a shred of this holo-shoah-whatever crap until that old miniseries (which funnily enough was around the same time Roots was airing - coincidence?)
He'll probably step in if there's a nuclear issue involved, because that seems to have bigger ramifications than just Israel itself.
I've discussed this elsewhere and a little bit in private with some other users, but Trump is some sort of autistic savant when it comes to the Middle East. GW Bush completely fucked things up there (which already weren't good), Obama couldn't make much headway because he was pro-Iran as the regional hegemon, and obviously Middle Eastern leaders walked over Biden. However, after King Abdullah died, Trump somehow managed to completely re-orient Saudi Arabia.
You're asking a lot for people to remember that.
People really struggle to accept that he's a great negotiator because they're committed to their mental image of him as a babbling retard. Point to decades of success in real estate, then TV, now politics, they won't admit any of it, it runs off them like water from a duck's back, whatever that stupid expression means.
IMO it was a matter of the stars aligining - the middle east has a new generation of people who want to have their countries be known as more than "islamic shithole number 235786324" and their leaders are taking note of that.
It should be close to 0. The fact that so many do is insane and kind of terrifying.
Luckily that kind of apocalyptic schizo Christianity is on its way out and all the discussions revolving around Israel in the younger generations are exactly what they should be about, when Israel benefits us on a policy level and when they don't, which is all that should matter.
Holy shit I don't think I've ever heard trump use the word fuck.
Trump should let them decimate each other, and pave a mcdonalds over the one that loses.
