Thanks, Ismaele. Whatever happens, I hope the attack on Gaza will stop and food and aid will get to the people there who need it so badly.

"probably trying to convince him support his Zionist plan."

Not going to take much convincing for Trump to go along. Trump may be hesitant to have his name attached to the genocide, but OTOH he can always claim ignorance and blame Biden since it started on Biden's watch. Trump will be happy to continue it. Not to mention that he does whatever the last person to talk to him or the Powers That Be that control him tell him he should do.

Ever read a transcript of a White House meeting with Trump in his first term? I have. It was rambling nonsense. The guy can't even finish a sentence. He's a complete and utter moron whose limited financial success is based on his father's success and his cachet of being a "celebrity". The only reason he ran for President is 1) narcissistic ego, and 2) the knowledge that he would make billions after leaving office due to the equal cachet of doing deals with a former President, not to mention the enhanced contacts he'll have as a result of being President.

Anyone who thinks there is the slightest chance that US foreign policy will improve anywhere under Trump is as brain-dead as Trump is. And Trump is nearly as brain-dead as Biden (although at least he knows where he is in a room.)
