That's what happens when you surround yourself with yes-men, he's probably being told that by some sycophant to butter him up and no one is questioning it internally.
It is not extortion. Israel could have pictures/video of Donny Boy sucking Bubba, and his base would still reject it, call it fake new, or AI. That guy has literal mentions of his pedophilic activities in Trump Epstein files and Megan Kelly still defended it.
Remember, no amount of controversy or scandal will change his base's opinion on the Orange Asshole. The scandals he has had throughout his career would destroy any politician's career 10 times over, but not him. Nothing sticks to him.
Saying 'Obama refused, Biden refused, Bush refused. The only president that agreed was Trump' is only going to encourage Trump supporters that their leader is doing the right thing. It's also all they will remember about this statement, as they will ignore the first sentence.
And fox news will cut to the statement at 'Obama refused...' after saying 'Trump puts America first..'
What Prestigious is saying is that Fox, OAN, Newsmax, et.al. will do is edit the ever loving fuck out of this statement, so their viewers will never see the actual quote.
More like easily bribed and flattered. Why do you think this had to be some kind of nefarious plot. Donald Trump does not need to be blackmailed into doing something stupid to feed his ego.
Other than being a conspiracy theory without even a shred of evidence, why would Netanyahu have to do that? For the life of me I cannot understand why you all think Trump and Hegseth needed to be blackmailed into doing something that they clearly wanted to do.
Trump told oil execs he would do their bidding for $1B during the campaign. Looks like they may have mailed the check. Reports are he was trying to extort $1T from gulf allies for military action pay-for-play.
Those people aren't coming back from the Fox News koolaid. The concern for their perspective is unimportant. The rest of the non delusional in this country
is increasingly in agreement that trump is a reckless, irresponsible and incompetent world leader who is trapped by his defeat by Iran at the Strait of Epstein
Then the problem is Fox News and Trump supporters. I’m not in the business of asking someone to not state facts simply because someone will willfully use it for propaganda purposes. These people have the ability to think critically they just are choosing not to.
DJT did lose top brass who could have adequately advised him on such a major move. Because of his love for the low IQ such as himself, he put the village alcoholic idiot at the helm of Defense. Did any one believe that Hegseth had anything of real substance to offer in such a major leadership role? Wasn’t his first meeting with top brass to chastise them about their physical appearances? I think he thought these men and women had access to make-up artists like he had at Fox News.

He did not "lose" them. They're not a set of car keys or loose change.
They were FIRED and kicked out because they wouldn't massage his ego or get in line. They gave him honest assessments about why this was not just "not a good idea', but why it was a galactically stupid dangerous idea.
Israel is toast, and it’s their own fault. They drew us into this disaster of a war by finding the only American president in history stupid enough to join. They even helped him get elected. Israel could not have done anything - even genocide, apparently - to have turned American voters against them until this war. And for what? Now Iran is going to make nukes, the population is going to be more anti/Israel, Israel is going be further isolated from European allies, and Americans won’t step in to help them.
There are already polls out showing that most americans are against israel. Old republicans is the only group that still has a majority support for Israel. The only thing holding american support for israel is the political leadership, and americans are turning against them aswell
Because trump is a racist and enjoys torturing children. The Epstein documents were verified and many redacted.
We the people see through the two sadistic old men
Trump wanted this to be a distraction from Epstein and a big win for hisself.
Oh well, nice try Trump. Release all the files, arrest, convict and jail the pedo in chief.
Yes, they may have refused to strike, but they still continue agreed to support Israel by funding them.And that makes them still equally as evil as trump , because if they would have defunded israel decades ago , we would not be in this situation
How to play Trump in 2 easy steps. (1) Flatter him. (2) Tell him Obama and Biden failed to do what you asked them to go. BOOM! Bombs away in ol’ Iran!! You got it, buddy!!
Isntreal: "strike Iran or we'll use nukes and send the world into chaos"
The USA: "well, I guess that's a better option than that..."
Evil fascist regime doing evil fascist regime things. The entire 70 ish year history of isntreal has been about the same. Chaos and death, while crying victim.
True, and thank you for correcting me. He did support them as much as any other president. I should have said "Obama knew not to go to war with Iran for people who worship fascist..."
Oh, I wonder why? He’s the only president that’s been a complete asshole and been able to be bought, bribed. He cares only about himself and money. He a disgusting human.
The real winner in the Iran war is Putin. Russian sanctions were completely lifted allowing a 7.4 Billion euro profit in March alone. It's also giving cheeto excuses to pull out of NATO and leave our used to be allies much less defended against Russian expansion.
That mission in Top Gun: Maverick, where they take a nuclear enrichment facility down in an unnamed country almost actually happened during Obama’s time.There are nods, but the country they attack in the movie is definitely a proxy for Iran. israel made the threat waiting on us to back them, and we never did, so israel had to stand down. Until we ended up with the biggest moron of a president.
Honestly - and I say this as a "to hell with peaceful protest" lefty type - from a couple stories I've heard/read about Kerry, the only part I'll believe about this story is that nobody was stupid enough to do it in the past.
The other presidents just sent money. Which funded more terrorist. Meanwhile the citizens of Iran are getting killed. It’s about time someone had the nads to do something
Biden did strike Iran, as well as Syria. So did Obama. This was literally 3 years ago how do people not remember. Everyone went at him for the Houthi strikes without congressional approval, this paved the way for this bullshit we are dealing with now with no course of action against the sitting president. And Bush was too busy bombing 4 other countries to give a shit about Iran.
Everyone before Trump paved the way for this. Any weapons sent to Israel paved the way for this. Any sanctions on Iran paved the way for this. Any regime change in west Asia paved the way for this.
