Not voting for either and not advocating such, just wondering if this lib talking point holds up in reality. I know he recognized Jerusalem as the capital, but dem reads as far more committed overall to the zionist project to me.

Probably yes, but you can never be sure with Trump, he really is the wildcard candidate. The Isntraelis have been getting more and more unhinged, and all it takes is them mouthing off at him one time for the friendship to sour. Cause he’s a vain, petty shit and every interaction has to stroke his ego, while Bibi is in a tenuous position and cannot afford to be seen as weak to anyone rn

But then again maybe the Zionist blob can jangle shiny enough keys in front of Trump to smooth things over

Looking at a situation like when Biden "paused" a weapons shipment and israel threw a hissy fit and various ministers started saying things like "Biden ♥️ Hamas", I genuinely wonder if Trumps ego would have been activated causing him to turn on israel, at least a little.

Plus, I could see him absolutely loving seeing something like the crowds in Yemen chanting some shit about him being strong or some other positive adjective. The man is pure ego and loves crowds. But they are brown so he might fucking hate that so idrk

There's two wolves inside Trump. One is an inveterate racist scumbag. The other is up it's own ass with egomania. Both have hypertension.
