President Trump has not only become Barack Hussein Obama, but he has become sleepy, deluded Joe Biden… “Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!”

Remember?

Tell me, what’s different?

Perhaps President Trump ought to stop listening to Erdogan of Turkey, Qatar [oh, that’s right, there were no strings attached to the half a billion dollar plane Qatar gifted President Trump with, right?], and to those in his administration siding with Iran at any cost.

How would President Trump, any U.S. President, any American react if it were they, their country, their region being bombarded with BALLISTIC MISSILES DAILY?

Hummm?

Why is it our presidents feel that they are in power in Israel, that they are the power of Israel, and Israel is the ONLY country they speak to, make the demands that they do?

Well, get hold of a Holy Bible and find out if not knowing.

Trump Becomes Obama

 

As Iran hits Israel with missiles, Trump urges Israeli restraint.

It was a dark evening. The Islamic Republic of Iran struck Israel, and Trump told Netanyahu not to retaliate, saying that a deal was very close to being concluded. This was nonsense from the beginning. The idea that the Islamic Republic would abide by any deal it made with the United States was always based on a towering house of cards of false assumptions, including the idea that the Islamic Republic wanted peace at all, and that it would give up its jihad against America and Israel, and that it would ever stop pursuing whatever weapons it needed in order to destroy both of those enemies.

Now it looks as if all that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and whoever else is leading Iran these days need in order to emerge victorious from this conflict is Donald Trump in the White House. Trump is so avid to be seen as the great peacemaker that he has turned against Israel, which is America’s ally, and embraced Iran, where the leadership screams “Death to America.” This is as craven and wrongheaded a betrayal of an American ally as Obama and Biden ever perpetrated against Israel, and Trump has done it for strikingly similar reasons, albeit with some important differences.

Obama and Biden wanted to bring peace to the Middle East and the world by bringing the Islamic Republic of Iran into the family of nations as a partner of the United States and a rock of stability in the region. They would do this with Obama’s nuclear deal and other conciliatory gestures, including sending billions of dollars to Tehran. Meanwhile, the various constraints they placed upon Israel — opposition to the “settlements” during the Obama years, and Biden’s withholding of weapons shipments after Oct. 7 — were meant to appease Iran’s inveterate hostility to the Jewish state, while America’s continuing alliance with Israel at the same time deterred Iran from waging all-out war against Israel.

Trump was a vociferous critic of the Obama/Biden appeasement of Iran, and promised toughness: the rescinding of the disastrous nuclear deal during his first term was a manifestation of that. But now he has decided that peace is the foremost goal of his foreign policy. He must be remembered as the man who ended wars. He must get that Nobel Peace Prize. And so as the Oct. 7 war dragged on, Trump hit on a grand solution: he would force Israel to make peace with Hamas before it had attained its oft-stated goal of destroying the jihad terror group. He would launch airstrikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran in tandem with Israel, but not in order to help the Iranian people (despite his repeated promises to do so) free themselves from the Islamic regime they detest and abhor. Instead, all he wanted to do was accomplish what Obama and Biden failed to accomplish by sending billions of dollars to Tehran: if their carrots didn’t work, he would use the stick to show the Islamic Republic that waging jihad against Israel was fruitless and not going to be tolerated. Nevertheless, he still wants peace above everything else, including Israel’s self-defense. So he has adopted what is essentially the Obama/Biden policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran: constrain and scold Israel while reaching out in friendship to Tehran.

Trump seems to think in doing this, he will bring the Iranian leadership, whether it be putative Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, whom Trump “respects” and would be “honored” to meet, or the leaders of the IRGC, to the negotiating table to conclude the deal that will establish the great dealmaker as the greatest peacemaker of all time. In this also, he has come around to the Obama/Biden establishment foreign policy perspective that he used to mock and promise to consign to the dustbin of history. They assumed that the problem underlying all the hostility between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran was a lack of trust. Iran repeatedly denounced the U.S. as “the global arrogance,” and portrayed it as a rapacious neo-colonialist power. And so the establishment foreign policy solution was to show good will, demonstrate that the U.S. was not hostile to Iran and had no wish to exploit it economically or in any other way, and expect that these gestures of good will would be reciprocated.

This was naive and wrongheaded from the start, and was based on abject ignorance of what really motivated the Iranian leaders’ hostility to the U.S. and Israel: it was all about Islam and jihad, not a response to alleged American (or Israeli) excesses, from the beginning. American good will would only be seen as weakness, to be responded to with increased aggression. Trump seemed to see that back in the days when he was ridiculing Obama’s nuclear deal and vowing to withdraw from it. He was right about that nuclear deal. But now he has become what he has detested. Now he has embraced the same set of false assumptions, and is acting upon them, thinking that if he restrains Israel and holds out olive branches to Tehran, all will be well: the Iranians will come to the table, work out a deal that satisfies everyone, and Trump will get his Nobel and the distinction of being the greatest U.S. president of all time.

Instead, the Islamic Republic fired ballistic missiles into Israel on Monday night. They see that Trump lacks the will to fight, and are exploiting his cowardice to the fullest. If only first-term Trump could reappear and remind second-term Trump of the dangers of appeasement, and the danger of showing weakness to an enemy that seeks your destruction. But alas, first-term Trump is nowhere on the horizon.
