Dear Leader made a move designed to incite Palestinian anger and the Palestinians … got angry. Israel responded to violence with violence of course, so Palestinians are now being injured and killed. I think we need a thread to discuss what Trump supporters think of all this.
Since Trumpists are not noted for articulations reflecting any discernable thought beyond “Duh … a capitol[sic] is a capitol[sic],” it may be necessary to help out less articulate conservatives:
@ Trumpists — Please select from among the multiple choice options: Which comes closest to your view?
(A) Trump is the smartest deal maker ever to sit in the Oval Office and is engaged in three-dimensional chess far beyond the ken of any libtard. We can’t look as deep into the future as he can, but we can be sure this will all Make America Great Again.
(B) The dead and injured are all Muslims, aren’t they? Win - Win.
(D) It’s all good. The Lame-stream media was wasting our time with its FakeNews about Russian “collusion,” and spreading lies about the Greatest Tax Cut in the History of the Universe. MidEast violence will help focus media attention on what matters: The huge virility of our ferocious Leader. Even his teeniest farts are more powerful than machine-gun bullets from the cowardly Obama. With a mere word Trump can make the world tremble in fear. Let’s root for even more violence against the Palestinians and continue to demonstrate American’s Greatness to the World.
Have I left out any good options? As you can see, I’ve left room for Republicans to state their own views if they don’t quite agree with options (A)-(D).
All he did was make naked what was already known in the region, so not any great point in getting mad. The only parties to be surprised are the self decievers among the americans and maybe some of the europeans who fooled themselves into thinking any parties in the region have really thought of the americans as any kind of neutral party.
of course he thew away any leverage he has with your government for getting things. so I guess that does change something in making it more pointless for any palestinian party to deal with the americans in any serious way.
Meh, on Houston freeways, every day is a day of rage.
Seriously, though: I know Frump is pandering to a constituency that helped get him elected, but I am patiently waiting for someone to explain to me why it is so important to certain Christians that the embassy to one particular secular government be located in the city of a particular religious shrine. 'Cause I’m not getting it.
There are a few threads on the boards started by Trump supporters about this. According to those threads it seems Trump is the smartest stretegist in the room, a tell-it-like-it-is realist, or a poor soul doing what he was -not bound to- but legally able to do.
MAGA!
I missed an important Trump supporter reaction to this:
“If the Palestinians riot over this like the animals that I already believe they are, then that will prove what animals they are.”
MAGA!
Can’t that be refined just a touch further? Presumably not all of them will riot; those who do will show what they really are – and those who refrain, likewise.
I checked the other threads and was unable to discern any rationale for Trump’s move beyond
(H) “It feels good to say ‘Fuck You!’ to the Palestinians;” or
(I) …
… Embarrassing previous Presidents? Using up surplus Newlines so the Democrats can’t have them?
Could it be the real motive is something as simple as
(J) Jared Kushner likes a certain Arab brothel near Bethlehem, and a shorter commute for his matinées will make it easier to keep them secret from Ivanka?
I no longer believe Trump has a 3-digit IQ, but even morons don’t just shit on the carpets without motive. Do they?
Why haven’t the Trumpists joined this thread? We really need to get to the bottom of this. What does the Huckabee-Sanders creature say?
Locally, here in Tennessee Tea Party Country–confusion, & vague bleating of support.
Too many local connected by blood ties to military men, or having served themselves, to be** too **happy with this.
I agree that Trump is a moron who is trying to destroy America, Israel and Palestine, all, and everything he does is stupidly destructive. But honestly, is there a peace process? From where I sit (admittedly thousands of miles away), it seems like all sides are pretty ok with the status quo. Certainly, there doesn’t seem to be any urgency about the matter.
There’s no serious discussion between anyone, is there? You can’t set back a process that isn’t happening.
