Yeah, especially when it comes to Israel.

That was a big issue for them, even at that time when it wasn't quite so salient.

I think it's extremely dangerous and irresponsible to pretend like that, first of all, J.D.

Vance wasn't part of the policymaking apparatus of this administration and didn't have a hand in making this decision, and that Donald Trump is not a grown-up who doesn't make his own decisions.

I mean, they support a guy who they seem to implicitly

say in their discourse is swayable and controllable by other people.

So like, what kind of a person is that?

What are you doing supporting this person?

And they're creating this narrative, this kind of stabbed in the back narrative where, oh, well, you know, MAGA was great and we were going fine.

And then the Israelis, the Jews came along and screwed it all up.

Well,

Trump screwed it all up because he, unlike every single other U.S.

president, didn't see through the fact that BB's rhetoric and ideas about this were unrealistic and crazy.

And he had his own political needs to take care of that had nothing to do with the United States and nothing to do with, you know, protecting our interests and just said, go fuck yourself.

I'm not going to do it.

Trump was the only person stupid enough or mercurial enough or whatever to try to roll the dice.

I think he rolled the dice because his administration was sinking on every other issue.

Don't forget, this comes not long after the tariffs thing.

I think you have to put every decision in the context of what is going on in the news for Trump back.

shortly before.
