Trump does have some history of making Israel play ball at least partially with him.
Yup. He's definitely a hardcore Zionist, whether that's by true belief, habit, or influence of others nearby, but he's still more rational and pragmatic about it than many others, which I appreciate.
I think he does recognize we're not getting the best deal from all this, and he's all about deals.
Its still far too lenient for anyone's liking by a mile, but it does give him a little spark of genuineness to his plans.
Yup, agree completely. "Zion Don" isn't a completely unfair moniker by any means (although I'd argue it's usually also a blackpill/demoralization attack, even if true), but it's not like he's worse than other options...and at least he's also getting some good stuff done. I wish he'd stop dick riding Israel, to use your phrase, but it's not like this is the absolute worst. Unless he starts shit with Iran; that would lose me for good.
People are so black and white on this they often miss the forest for the trees. I wish he wasn't so pro-Israel. I definitely wish he wasn't appointing and surrounding himself with so many Zionist lunatics. But it's not like we had any viable options who wouldn't have done the exact same thing. Heck, Kamala basically campaigned on being the WW3 Candidate. I'll still take Trump any day of the week.
But it's not like we had any viable options who wouldn't have done the exact same thing.
They absolutely would have done worse and we'd not even know about 1/10th of it.
Harris might have talked a lot of shit about pro-Palestine, but her party and handlers would have continued the pro-Israel agenda exactly as it had been for decades without the media even talking about it. Just bills signed in silence and money/arms shipped without a peep.
Regardless of how you feel about Trump, he is rarely able to keep his mouth shut about anything, and the media will absolutely blast everything he doesn't say. So in the "both are bad" categories, at least we know and might be able to say/do something with him.
