Trump Shrugs Off Netanyahu on Gulf Tour​

When President Trump shook hands with Syria’s new leader and promised to lift sanctions on his country at the Saudi royal palace this week, it was a vivid demonstration of how the president’s Middle East diplomacy has all but sidelined Israel.

“Tough guy, very strong past,” Mr. Trump said about President Ahmed al-Shara, who once had ties with Al Qaeda. Mr. Trump said he was ending the sanctions, many of which had been imposed on Syria’s previous government, “to give them a chance at greatness.”

In doing so, Mr. Trump was effectively shrugging off the views of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government calls Mr. al-Shara a “jihadist.” Israel’s military has bombed Syria hundreds of times since December, when rebels led by Mr. al-Shara ousted President Bashar al-Assad from power.

Mr. Trump’s five-day tour through the Middle East this week underscored a new dynamic, one in which Israel — and Mr. Netanyahu, in particular — is something of an afterthought. In Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Trump has sought to negotiate peace deals in Iran and Yemen and cut trillion-dollar business deals with the wealthy nations of the Persian Gulf.

He did not make a stop in Israel.

What is Netanyahu's most valuable asset in Don's transactional eyes? Helping deliver votes. In part due to the tangential relationship of evangelicals with Israel and the plight of Israelis.

Does he need Bibi for that now? No. If trump seeks another term it will not be by way of the ballot box.

What has been trump's lifelong goal? Wealth. Who can best deliver it to him, Israel or countries in the ME? The answer to that question can be found in where Don spent the first foreign trip of the new regime.

“The overall sense is of shifting attention and perception of interest, mainly to the Gulf States, where the money is,” said Itamar Rabinovich, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States.

True. Yet there he is, enjoying the disgustingly opulent decor of the Oval Office. I'm not sure I've seen anything more ridiculous in my life. It's a disgrace.

Did you notice how MBS's new best friend, replacing Prince Jared, made a comment on how something needs to be done about Israel's attempt to starve the people living in Gaza? This, coming after Sheik Donald spent some time among Muslims.

Who knew US foreign policy could be bought with a used jet containing some golden bathroom fixtures?

Trump says "a lot of people are starving" in Gaza, as death toll from Israel's assault reportedly hits 53,000

As health officials in Hamas-run Gaza put death toll over 53,000, Trump says, "we're going to get that taken care of. A lot of people are starving."

Sigh...the antichrist adored by Israel is predicted to backstab them in prophesy, after he gets the middle eastern countries and Israel to sign a 7 year peace agreement....3.5 years later, KABOOM! Will the beloved by Trump, Abraham Accord, be that peace agreement, the calm before the storm?

Watching overseas commentary, the whole world knows you want to give him stuff, treat him like royalty, compliment him like he's seven, and try to be the last person to talk to him.

The whole fuckin' world knows it. This is humiliating.

It's the essential rule of dealing with the Grifter-in-Chief, yet Zelensky forgot it in that Oval Office meeting. Perhaps he was distracted by all the golden chalices and vases. If he had only verbally massaged Don's scrotum he could have gotten anything he wanted.

Yeah, you could see him stepping right into it. Maybe it was all the press and he figured he needed to stick up for himself with his country watching. But he just walked into a buzzsaw. He gave the bullies everything they wanted.

I thought JD was going to try to put Zelensky in a headlock while giving him a noogie. The man was seething. I wish he had tried.

Vulgar, gaudy. Just another embarrassment.

Like a megachurch "pastor" (wink wink).

For Trump and his flock, it's very classy.

As I recall he referred to the WH as a dump during 1.0. Obviously it didn't have enough mirrors and gold leaf for his 15th century taste. What's next, a bronze statue of himself in the Rose Garden?

You made Trump. He took your shit, your accusations, you assassination attempts and your traitorous ways and told you to shove it. And he shows you this every day. You give him massive free TV entertainment/media time. There are voters who will never approve of him. There are voters who change their minds though or are independent. There are African American males who have more in common with him who voted for Trump than most of the African American Progressives elected in politics. This is not about removing rights. It is about using common sense in the 21st Century.
