One more case of Trump dancing to a hostile foreign leader’s tune. And Netanyahoo is hostile to America and peace in the middle east.

Does prez Full Diaper ever listen to Americans?

I would assume nearly every foreign policy decision from this badministration has its origin in somewhere other than the U.S.

Netanyahu apparently changed this position under his own volition, without any input from the Israeli security council or intelligence agencies, and secretly conveyed his new stance to the Trump administration and members of the Senate Appropriations Committee via Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S.

While its possible that such a person exists, they’re either dead or getting the hell out of politics.

So now Trump is taking orders from Israel too? He is turning us into a puppet state. SMDH.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a scumbag.

I hope American Jewry turns against him completely.

I have no idea why we support the state of Israel other than for the spying and criminal acts they must perform for us to keep the US money flowing.

Israel, Saudi Arabia and Russia are dictating our foreign policy. When does that whole ‘America First’ thing come into play.

Netanyahu better be careful - US aid to Israel could be next.

After all, in Donald’s mind, moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and his slashing aid to Palestinians and Palestinian refugees are big ‘wins’ for Netanyahu’s government. And Netanyahu’s recent law about Israel being first and foremost a Jewish state has been played up as a major victory by Israel’s far right.

Add to this the anti-Semitic attitudes of trump’s aids and supporters as well as how trump needs to find even more money to try and offset the effects the billionaires’ tax cuts are having on the national debt, I can easily see trump declaring victory and ending US aid to Israel.

And if these things don’t trigger a cut in aid, then Jarad’s failure to craft a peace deal probably will - after all, walking away from, and ignoring, failure is what Donald does best.
