Fucking everyone wants Trump because he's so fucking easy to manipulate.
Iran and China are hesitant on him. Iran because he might be stupid enough to actually start a pointless war that's in no one's strategic interests, not even the US; China because he can be bribed, but he also swaps to the opinion of the person who last spoke to him, which makes him unpredictable (and thus makes it difficult to establish any policy that deals with the US as long as he's in power).
What can you say? He's a Salesman, sure he 'might' of destabilised the world for a bunch of consecutive paydays, but he made profit!
What a champ! /s

Still kind of surprised there hasn't been a poisoning attempt on him yet because of how much his ego thrives on being buttered up
Wasn't that why he loves fast food? It's easier to target the White House supply chain for a precision poisoning than to try to hit every McDonald's in a 50km radius and hope to get lucky.
No he just likes McDonald's

Surprising absolutely no one except for the staunchest and blindest American Zionists.
American zionists are overwhelmingly christian and overwhelming support trump.
Fascist is as fascist does
Surprising Biden, who went on TV and told the world that he helped do the genocide for Bibi and should be appreciated.
Like I said, staunchest and blindest American Zionists.
“He meddled several times during the Clinton administration...
...supported fundraisers in Israel for then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election
...in 2020 he was all-out for Trump.”
all that meddling and he has fuck all to show for it lol. hopefully that is a good omen for 2024.
Fuck all to show for it? Democrats literally can't tell him "no, stop doing genocide" or they'll get primaried against "centrists" with twice their cash.
Centrists support genocide because AIPAC pays to rid them of progressives.

Damn, full support for a genocide that is unpopular with their own electorate, and this is the thanks they get? If you're willing to lose due to principles, at least make them good principles.

They gonna do anything about it or continue to bend over backwards?
I'm betting just more finger wagging while competing to be the most pro zionists in Washington
The DNC as a whole have been trying to remove PACs and undo Citizens United, which alone would gut Netanyahu's influence in the USA.
EDIT: Since this is somehow controversial, the AIPAC is a pipeline of campaign funding directly from Israel. Democrats have on several occasions pushed bills that would overturn citizens united which fail to pass both chambers of congress including HR1 For the People Act

But they continue to suck his dick regardless.
It’s the sweet ketchup scent in the diaper that keeps them coming back time and time again.
What the fuck is this and where do I buy one? How do I set it on people? Does it need their scent or does it have a little slot where I can insert someone's picture and it'll automatically home in on them?
I see you’re already familiar with our portfolio. The previous model required an item of clothing, preferably a shoe, in order for the target to be “serviced” correctly. This version simply requires a photograph of the intended victim’s unadorned foot. Right or left, the BawlSac™️ cares not.

First off, this isn't a secret, and it's not new.
This is just more of the same, the press going the extra mile to give reach-around cover and misdirection for the failed policies of the current administration, or rather, their actual policies, which have lead us to where we are.
You are incredibly misinformed if you believe the conflict in the Middle East is caused by the Biden administration. No matter who is the president, the US will always support Israel. Trump is loves to pretend he will fix something to get votes because his pocket book depends on being president.
I'm not informed...?
No US president in history, from either party, has been this hands-off with Israel. Period.
And I didn't say war, I said situation, as in the nonstop spiraling of events, without as much as a waiver in US support: diplomatically, militarily, or financially.
The fact that you don't know that, shows it's not me who is misinformed.
Maybe you are under informed. The Abraham Accords and the moving of the US embassy were escalations in this conflict.
Wait, so you're saying that US culpability in this conflict starts, and ends, with the Trump administration...?
Again, I don't think it's me who's under informed on this issue.....
No one said it was Trump. The US has been giving financial aid to Israel for over 50 years. You are misinformed because you believe Trump will fix it. News flash he was already president and he didn’t fix shit.
....what? You just said Abraham accords are the reason for this conflict... That's the same as saying Trump is to blame....
And just because I'm rightfully assigning blame to Biden, the current sitting US president and self-proclaimed biggest support of Israel, doesn't mean I support Trump.
Feel free to creep on all of my comment history, my political leanings should be pretty self-evident.
Don't you feel gross telling people that if they say Biden's policies have allowed the situation to get out of control, it means they support Trump?
I mean, you do understand that ultimately Israel is our client state and entirely dependent upon our aid for their survival, right?
They literally could not be prosecuting this war if we stopped shipping them weapons, and they would never have attacked Iran if we didn't have our CSG and accompanying missile destroyers sitting in between them.

Wait, isn't Harris pro-Israel?
Both "parties" compete over who's the most zionist.
This is emphatically false. Like... Literally just a lie straight from the "both parties" crowd.
The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically (weakly, since they seem afraid of piss off voters and hand everything to Trump).
The Republicans fully support everything taking place right now. 100% support for Israel and this Hitler-esque leader of Isreal.
“No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none,"
Joe Biden like yesterday
The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically
How is Israel being pressured? Do you mean phone calls where Biden asks bibi to chill then sends him everything he wants anyway? That's not pressure. Pressure would be putting conditions on arms transfers and Biden won't do that so the only thing separating Ds and Rs on this issue is a very thin veil of rhetoric that no one believes anyway
The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically
Saying "Hey, bud, don't do x, is I'll be real mad at you," and then going "Gee, you did what I told you not to. Well, here's a few billion dollars more weapons for you, so you can keep doing what I publicly asked you not to do." is not pressuring them, it's attempting to give plausible deniability to people who feel bad about supporting a blatantly genocidal state, and to fool the folks who take soundbites in the news at face value.
Current Democratic pressure amounts to fuck all outside of a handful of legislators who are demonized by the centrist and right wing factions of the party. To say otherwise is to either deny reality, or else willfully misrepresent it.
The democrats are currently pressuring Israel
Do you suppose they could pressure me? I could use billions of dollars with no strings attached.
Tom Cotton has all but said Netanyahu should kill every Palestinian, which is further than even Netanyahu's own far-right partners will go in public.
Well, duh.
You suspect?!
Considering how much money AIPAC has donated to get rid of any progressives that were critical of the genocidal Israeli government, I'm not surprised. I'm sure they're getting even more desperate as as they need money and arms to continue the war started because of the governments sick violation of international law.
Oh! Which candidate does he prefer??
