Yeah, I mean, look, first of all, I think it's interesting that Trump is sitting there saying, yeah, I told him he was out of his fucking mind.
You know, he acknowledged that at the beginning of that interview.
And obviously Trump was upset.
The reason Trump was upset
is that he wants this Iran war, which is a fiasco, to go away.
The only way to get it to go away is to have even the flimsiest kind of a ceasefire.
And the flimsiest kind of ceasefire requires one thing that Trump doesn't control, and that is that Israel stops its war against Lebanon.
But Israel doesn't wanna stop its war against Lebanon.
Bibi Netanyahu is launching, that's his only way of communicating to the people of Israel that they need to keep him in office.
And he's got an election coming in a few months.
So Trump doesn't control it.
And so Trump can't get the flimsy ceasefire that he wants in place.
You know, the one that says, oh, yeah, we're going to solve all these problems in the future and just punts it off into the distance, like the Gaza ceasefire agreement, where none of the tough problems have been solved, where the Board of Peace has no money, where nothing is actually advancing here.
The problem is, you know, that Trump and Netanyahu are two bad leaders who are strategically impaired, who are desperate for political survival and who have created a situation in which they need each other and in which.
they both are relying on somebody who's one of the world's worst people.
I mean, if you were making a new axis of evil, right, in it would be Trump, Netanyahu, and maybe you'd throw in Putin.
In other words, we are now the rogue state allied with another rogue state, Israel.
Both of our leaders are liars and crooks.
And unfortunately, neither one of them can survive without working with the other one.
And so, you know, to me, this is like two mob bosses getting into, you know, a dust up.
