Israel previously had "total control" over the US Congress, and it was impossible for someone speaking "badly" of the Jewish state to be in politics, US President Donald Trump has said.
Trump said that in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller published on Monday, repeatedly stating that Israel used to have the "strongest lobby I've ever seen" in the US.
"If you go back 20 years. I mean, I will tell you, Israel had the strongest lobby in Congress of anything or body, or of any company or corporation or state that I've ever seen. Israel was the strongest. Today, it doesn't have that strong a lobby. It's amazing. There was a time where you couldn't speak bad, if you wanted to be a politician, you couldn't speak badly [of Israel]."Times have changed, and US politics now has all sorts of critics of Israel, namely "AOC plus three" and "all these lunatics," Trump added. The US president referred to the so-called 'Squad', an informal progressive left-wing faction of the Democratic Caucus in the US House, originally composed of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, known for their strong anti-Israel stance.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, prompted by a surprise assault on southern Israel mounted by the Palestinian group on October 7, 2023, has further eroded West Jerusalem's influence in the US, Trump suggested.
"They may be winning the war, but they're not winning the world of public relations, you know, and it is hurting them."At the same time, Trump praised himself for what he had done for Israel, claiming that "nobody has done more" for the country. The US president said Israel was "amazing" since he has been enjoying "good support" from them in return as well.

So get the clue Mr President - try to get back to what matters - but you never will unless you dispatch the elephant in the room - and we all know who the elephant is - and we all are god-damn sick of the zigaboos and all their trickery and all their harm upon humanity - tis really simple in a way - but could spell the end of the founders ambitions if Trump doesn't get a clue and realize - he nor the ones dc these days is beholden to hold any cards of merit in their hands - they are bereft of merit - they are the opposite of that - and it is most evident - as day by day more children starve in Gaza - and glorify that in sick-twisted minds relish child sacrifice but it is contrary to life - and justice beckons.

The scales must be balanced.
Let me add - cause it has been on my mind - haven't seen posts from some posters here muddying the waters so much lately - I ain't gonna call them cause I prefer the discourse when they are not here - and truly Lady Libra takes no prisoners....and her minions - they will KILL you in heartbeat if you enter the Cave of Wealth and Death uninvited.
So - it has been a breath of fresh air some posters ain't here muddying the waters endlessly....I don't know if it will last of it is coincidence but at some point it is necessary I think for the moderators to make hard choices and if choices have been made I hope they are permanent - cause the discourse has improved seems to me - and that is good tidings one can hope.
Yep.
