Evaluating Trump

An old classmate of mine asks, “Doesn’t Trump get some credit for Israel? The current lunatic favors Iran.”

Re: the U.S. policy on the Middle East, I don’t know enough to address your question.  I’ve read, from Canada-based CTV  News, rated and unbiased/neutral, “Trump is not pro-Israel; he’s pro-Trump.”  That rings true, but again, I’m not your guy here.

However, I do note that you seem to be a garden-variety Trump supporter, and, accordingly, you appear to have overlooked the fact that the former president is a cold, calculating criminal who a) represents a huge risk to national security, and b) tried to overthrow the U.S. government.

To me, if he happens to deserve credit for some aspect of what he did when he was in office, that’s negligible in comparison to his status as a traitor to his country.
