    Trump is undoubtedly bad for the US, like a brexit that only lasts 4 years, (hopefully.) He destroys our international credibility and will leave an indelible scar on our international relationships.

    However, this statement doesn’t make sense:

    I like Trump, Biden’s gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.

    Trump will give Israel a blank check, and he’ll probably want to push the missile launch buttons himself if given the opportunity. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

      I do think that Trump would do a lot more damage to the Palestinians; that’s true. This whole conversation took place before the current operation in Gaza. I think what the person I was talking to was talking about was a little more referring to effective diplomatic and strategic assistance to the Israelis, which Biden also does (and fuck him for it), which Trump is just inherently incapable of by virtue of being a dumbfuck on an almost unimaginable level.

      In the long run, I think Trump and Netanyahu would be sort of neck and neck for who can do the most damage to Israel and make the average Israeli person less safe and interfere with Israel being able to accomplish their goals against any people who aren’t completely powerless.
