No one will be surprised when a Trump Tower goes up in the midst of the disputed territory.

Hey Bibi, I believe your homeland is Poland. Your father, Benzion Mileikowsky, was born in Warsaw. He changed his name to Netanyahu sometime after 1920.

Jamie Stern-Weiner wrote this about Bibi:

“If Benjamin Netanyahu hadn’t gone into politics he’d be on Broadway, hamming it up as a pantomime villain. Israel’s hawkish prime minister is theatrically obnoxious to the point where even Israel’s staunchest allies in the American Jewish community are urging him to tone it down. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t just show up to your house uninvited but brings along his dirty laundry, empties your fridge, urinates in the sink and then abruptly storms out, complaining about poor service”.

This is a good article on Bibi:

After reading the Trumpisms in this article I ran “embarrassment” through thesaurus.com hoping to find an appropriate descriptor for our new orator-in-chief. The English language is a failure. Sad.

“But Bibi and I have known each other a long time. Smart man, great negotiator. And I think we’re going to make a deal.

So the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be solved by Israel negotiating with the U.S. :rage:

“I am looking at the two-state, and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like,” he said. “I am very happy with the one that both parties like. I can live with either one. I thought for a while that two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two. But honestly, if Bibi, and the Palestinians— If Israel and the Palestinians are happy, I am happy with the one they like the best."

Any description of that statement as “word salad” is a grievous insult to salad.

Sure, it’s all the same to Donald - he doesn’t really know that much about countries and policies and that kind of stuff. And history? - forget about it.

Does that mean he’s got chutzpah?

Indeed. A more parsimonious reply would have been something along the lines of ‘a beeb a da bop, a beeba da bob; six a one, half dozen of de udda.’

When Netanyahu failed to respond substantively…

At what point do foreign leader start to think, “he’s not going to last long, I better wait for the next guy.”

Ha! Exactly! Bibi likes that solution just fine. And Donnie doesn’t have a clue whatsoever.

Pictures of Bibi and Trump together, and still holding their respective offices, are going to become quite rare and valuable in the next few months.

I bet former presidents are kicking themselves for not realizing the solution to that particular difficulty was that fucking simple.

Blistering incompetence is a double edged sword, hindering the ability to achieve good outcomes As well as bad.

The current occupant of the WH has a long history of stiffing creditors and members of his clubs (see the recent decision by a Federal judge in Florida ordering him to refund about $5 million in membership deposits that he had refused to pay) he has declared bankruptcy while leaving his investors high and dry and calls those “great deals.” So I doubt he would make a deal that both or even one would consider great, except possibly for himself (Trump Tower West Bank?).

President Trump’s hill billy christian evangelical friends are not going to be happy with President Trump’s lack of unconditional support for Israel. This is going to bigly delay the second coming of Jesus, the apocalypse and all the good things the End Times bring for christians.

With every passing day Trump appears more clownlike than the day before. As a negotiator he’s functionally worthless. His tactics are laughable as best.
