Fran, sometimes I wonder what reality you are living under. Or maybe it's just blindness to everything "Trump" and an abandonement of objectivity in favor of bias for Trump?
In regards to the Middle East, Israel, Palestine, Zionism - here is some reference on Trump's track record and actions:
The list of resources is endless on Trump's track record in the middle-east and his true intentions (not his stated intentions that he then walks back on by calling everything he disagrees with as "Fake News")
"Here we have the author of a peace deal (Donald Trump) who is by definition a fanatic Zionist supporter of the illegal Israeli settlement and yet he projects himself as some kind of a mediator who has the Palestinians best interest in mind. It is surrealistic in every possible way and obnoxious in every possible term".
Again, the list of facts NOT in favor of Trump are endless.
Maybe you could look harder at who Trump really is and who his supporters are:
(1) Evangelical Christian Zionists are a significat base of Trump's supporters.
(2) Trump has always been a supporter of AIPAC
(3) Trump (and his family) have always supported Israel and the Zionist agenda
Yes, Biden is bad - but so is Trump. And I can't help but wonder what actions Trump would have taken in the present conflict. I mean, why are we even discussing and comparing who is worse when it comes to Israel and Zionism?
Because I didn't approve of the democrats trying to remove an elected president from office it's wrong? They tried to remove him on the lie of Russia-gate, also because this very bad man thought it was good to get along with Russia, and even paid Putin a visit. They crucified Trump, but maybe if they hadn't, and didn't have an agenda for him, like he has to go, no doubt some 400 thousand Ukrainians would not be dead. No new wars under Trump, a novelty in the 21st century. It's interesting that at the unconstitutional Jan 6 comm, and it was unconstitutional, Liz Cheney was parading her pop around, and as you know someone who got us into the war with Iraq on a lie, and of course there was those black sites and Guantanamo, and torture. Cheney as many were, including Jeff Bush, primary signatories on the Project for a New American Century based on A Clean Break written for Netanyahu, by Richard Perle, although some call him the prince of darkness, and it goes like this, "The report explained a new approach to solving Israel's security problems in the Middle East with an emphasis on "Western values." It has since been criticized for advocating an aggressive new policy including the removal of Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and the containment of Syria by engaging in proxy warfare and highlighting its possession of "weapons of mass destruction". Well, as you know we followed that neocon policy and attacked and destroyed many countries in the Middle East, under Bush/Cheney, Obama, and of course Biden. Interesting that Palestine is now facing a genocide, and it would be naive to believe it doesn't reflect our political agenda all through this century and perhaps why we supply the weapons to carry it out. Interesting that the media lost it's objectivity, but as you know it was headed in that direction anyway, but people like Amy Goodman bought it as well, and mostly wishful thinking on her part. Poor Greenwald wanted to write an article on Biden's son's laptop, but the CIA, some 50 of them, said it was all Russian disinformation and the The Intercept which he started wouldn't let him publish his piece, so he left the very publication he started.
Yes Trump certainly wasn't perfect, but he was a perfect diversion and scapegoat from the horrors the presidents in the 21st century implemented, including those of Obama and his proxy war in Syria and his war on Libya, and I hear there are now slave markets there not to mention his backing neo-nazi's to kick out Yanukovych, and a pro-Russian government. I guess he wanted the US to be close to Putin too, but not for good reason, since NATO would be right up against Russia's borders, and those Minsk accords as Merkel said were not meant to be implemented but to allow the Ukraine to build up militarily.
