I do think the staggering irony in all of this is that Trump’s narcissistic stupidity might be the thing that finally breaks Israel’s hold over the US.
But considering that this really all comes down to Trump’s collapsing popularity, I just don’t know what wins out here. Failing to come up with some kind of solution to the unnecessary war he dragged America into completely fucks him, but so does losing the Israel lobby. Trump is caught between two options that are both, politically speaking, apocalyptically bad. I really don’t know which way this is going to go. Given the way Trump is talking it certainly sounds like he’s had it with Netanyahu, but will that last once AIPAC starts openly funding Democrats in every house and senate race?
It should be US vs AIPAC.
