which reminded me of what Bill Clinton said in 1996 about Israel when Netanyahu was, you know, doing very similar things.

He said, who's the effing superpower here?

And, well, the answer when it came to U.S.-Israeli relations is at best ambiguous.

So what Trump leaked about him saying, like, everybody hates you, you've isolated yourself, you're crazy, which is what he said in that call to Netanyahu, I imagine he thinks leaking it makes him look strong.

They're gone even for the right.

I mean, the opinion polls are really quite stunning.

Until a year or two ago, more than 60%, usually more than 70% of Americans would say that Israel is a close ally and a close friend.

That's dropped to below 40% in a very short period of time.

So clearly that's weighing on Trump.

as indeed, of course, the economic effects of this stalemate in the Gulf.

But it hasn't done him any use.

I mean, until he can show that he is master of action, not words, then I think he's going to continue to look more ridiculous.

Yes, gas prices at the pumps are going to be high.

We've got a new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Walsh, Trump's pick to replace the guy, Jay Powell, who Trump had been essentially accusing of being a traitor and of being corrupt.

And Trump is having him investigated all because he wasn't cutting interest rates.

Well, now he's got his own guy.

There's a meeting next week and that guy is not going to cut interest rates.

because prices are rising.

You do not cut interest rates when prices, not just petrol prices, but all the things that fossil fuel feeds into in the economy, food prices, fertilizer for agriculture.

Trump's sort of Midwest rural farming base is really, really disaffected at the moment.
