I’m just going to say it, I don’t recognize this Trump who we have now as versus the Trump who ran in 2016 in the first term. The whole rhetoric has changed, we have to be honest about. And I know that people say trust the plan, trust the plan, trust the plan, he’s doing 5D chess. He’s not doing 5D chess, okay. Somebody who takes the public’s money for a meme, for a crypto coin, pumps it up and then dumps it, leaving everybody else holding the bag. He’s not trusting the plan, it’s exploiting his followers.
His children and his son-in-law are heavily invested in the same Middle East where he’s dictating policy. That means the policies have a conflict of interest behind them. That’s not trust the plan, it’s just corruption.
And I want to take this a little further because we’re always getting these manipulative curveballs, like the Iran MOU was garbage. So then they came back with the Lebanon Agreement and the Lebanon Agreement allowed Israel to have a seat at the table, oh my God, and to defend themselves. And then I said, wow, you see Trump was really just tricking the world. He really is standing behind the allies.
The point is that he’s not a reliable and consistent partner to his allies. He told the Iranians to go out there in the streets, 40,000 of them got murdered. Then he said, well, the Kurds didn’t deliver the weapons that I gave them, like it’s not his fault. He talks about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu like he’s a piece of garbage and he keeps doing it. He just said, he knows I’m the boss, I’m the boss.
This is not someone who is behaving the way that he did before. This is not someone who pulled the chair out for Prime Minister Netanyahu to sit. This is someone who is intentionally being a bully and behaving with tremendous disrespect.
I want to add that there is an ideal of public service, which involves a certain respect for the office. And even if what he’s doing is legal by the book, it’s not appropriate. It’s not okay. He is taking the midterms, which everyone needs, right? We don’t want the socialists to win the midterms. He is handing the midterms to the Democrats because he already has so much opposition. And now even his supporters are becoming disgusted.
