I think he's just boxed in by AIPAC and situation. He didn't "launch a war of aggression on behalf of a foreign government", Israel attacked and we got drawn in by existing WWI-esque commitment to help Israel no matter what.
What if he'd said 'too bad Israel you're on your own', the political fallout would have been a nuclear winter on his term. Instead he defined a win condition for America (no Iran nukes), did a big show to make it seem like the nukes were gone, and that gave him the position to order Israeli jets back in-air.
That's a pretty good resolution. If he could reach the Israel monkey on his back to throw it off that'd be better but his reach isn't that great.
Here is the thing. He is on his 2nd term so there isnt re-election. And we already see republican senators and congressmen being difficulty and faggoty with an already ewww BBB and made it worse.
No sure whats to worry about by defying them. There isnt a civil war.. we can at least shake up the system politically then (ie saying FU to aipac)
Deporting 40 million people is going to shake up the political system and that seems to be his main goal.
He had to get funding past Congress, and lots of them are up for reelection and think they need Israel's support to win.
That's why I said he's boxed in. It's not about what Trump wants to do, it's about what he can get done.
