Flattery will get you everywhere: Trump goes all in for Israel
“I don’t think it can be better,” Trump said about their relationship when asked by a reporter. “We just won a big war together.”
He said a moment later the two have a “great relationship.” His comments stand out after outlets like Axios reported the Trump administration felt Netanyahu was “slow-walking the peace process” and “fear he will resume the war with Hamas.”
“He’s a wartime prime minister, he’s done a phenomenal job. He’s taken Israel through a very dangerous period of trauma,” Trump said. “Israel, with other people, might not exist right now, if you wanna know the truth. That’s a pretty big statement, but it’s true.”
And Trump reiterated his support for Netanyahu receiving a pardon for his multi-year corruption trial in Israel.
“How do you not give a pardon, you know?” Trump said while shaking his head in disbelief. “He’s a war-time prime minister who is a hero. How do you not give a pardon?”
Trump then said he talked to Israeli President Isaac Herzog — and Herzog told him the pardon is “on its way.”
The president and Netanyahu worked closely as Trump spearheaded the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal that was made in October.
Trump on Monday said “every hostage released” was because of him, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth.
“None were released in the Biden administration,” he added.4…
WASHINGTON ‒ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country plans to award the Israel Prize to President Donald Trump, breaking with tradition to honor a non-Israeli and marking the first time the annual prize will go to another country’s president.
Netanyahu announced Trump as a recipient of the Israel Prize ‒ the state of Israel’s highest civilian honor for 72 years ‒ shortly after the two leaders met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
So Norwegians gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Machado for her ‘democratic work’ in Venezuela. They thumped Trumpstein because it was just too absurd for an international audience to swallow Trump The Peacemaker, the Emperor of The Arctic, Canada, the Panama Canal, Venezuela and a Nobel for all of his War Prevention.
I cannot recall a funnier Time for the USA. Now Trumpstein issues more warnings to Iran. When Iran frys The Jewish State, Trumpstein will send in the B-52s to carpet-bomb Iran. The problem with that is that Iran is a very large country, and 95 million souls live there.
Trump needs a wakeup call in the form of Orishniks over, I dunno…the US fleet in the Mediterrraneam?
GOP approval rating is now at 32% in USA. So Trumpstein gets the Israel Prize, a participation prize I guess since even the vassal state of Norway could not quite stomach giving the Nobel to Trumpstein, the finish the job accomplice to the butcher of Gaza…. Netanyahu.
Can anything awaken the Emperor of Gaza, Arctic, Canada, Panama Canal, Caribbean, Ukraine, Venezuela, Iran..did I overlook someone? Maybe an Orishnek sinking of one of our dozen or so aircraft carriers (with 5000 crewmen aboard each one) stir the megalomaniacal sleepwalker awake? Huh…huh…I am the Chief, I am the Chief!
Trump’s ego, sort of like Walt Whitman’s ego…I am the Man of the People, I am the spirit of America. the voice of millions, the unrealized destiny of America, do I contradict myself? Very well, I contradict myself! And do not forget little Israel, our conscience and Jehovah’s chosen People, who lead us into the promised land of fruit and honey, of Greater Israel and a greater America to boot! Hail to Me, your Deliverer of Destiny.
Or, think of Toad of Toad Hall in Wind in the Willows, strutting down the railroad track with a locomotive bearing down on him. Hail to the Chief !
Trump is ignorant of history and suffers from an egotistic personality disorder. His limited experience is in “making deals” of a commercial nature. He has charm and has said and done MAGA things in the past, but he is easily “played” by cunning politicians from Bibi to Vlad.
