Trump: Let Israel Finish Off Our/Your Enemies

We need to start loving to win again.

We have a historic opportunity to let Israel win for us. And more: to help Israel win for us and make it permanent, so we can refocus elsewhere the way Trump wants.

Israel’s String of Wins for Us

Hamas. Hezbollah. Iran. One by one, Israel broke their backs.

We should have thanked Israel profusely and helped it complete the victories it won for us.

Instead, every time Israel was on the verge of finishing off an American enemy, our Obamas and Bidens would step in and rescue the enemy.

We have paid a high price for this.

Israeli victory could have freed America of its problems in the Mideast and enabled the USA to concentrate its efforts elsewhere, e.g. China, the way Trump wants. Instead American presidents kept rescuing America’s enemies, enabling them to rebuild their threat to us and drag us back into the Mideast.

Obama tried to pull out of Iraq. This empowered the Islamic state, which dragged us back into the region on a bigger scale.

Obama rescued Hamas from Israel in 2014. He set it up to rebuild and prepare October 7. That dragged us back into the region yet again.

Biden also rescued Hamas — many times over, demanding ceasefires and Israeli pullbacks, setting Hamas up to regroup and exact a greater death toll in the war. And shamelessly blamed the cost on Israel.

Biden protected Iran and its nuclear program against attack from Israel.

Biden’s last deed – and Witkoff’s first — was to rescue Hezbollah when it was on the edge of collapse. America will have to pay yet again for this in Lebanon.

Be a Trump Lion, not an Obama Fake Fox.

Forget the idea of ever getting praise from our media. Forget the Nobel Committee. They don’t really like the idea of being on America’s side. And they’ll hate you no matter what.

Be yourself.

Win one for America.

Above all, never be an Obama-Biden.

Obama won a Nobel for not being on America’s side; specifically, for expressing negativity about America and sympathy with our enemies. He rescued Hamas. He got Russia to invade Ukraine the first time. This set the clock ticking for the present wars.

Never imitate Biden either. He rescued Hamas countless times, dragged on the war in Gaza, protected our enemies Iran and Hezbollah from Israel, and invited Russia’s 2nd, full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Obama-Biden talked the game of a clever fox, but in fact they were being too clever by half – which means not clever at all. The basis for their policy was not their imagined skill and wisdom, but a bad attitude toward America and its allies. They were ambivalent at best about being on America’s side.

They were fake foxes.

Don’t fall into the trap and become another fake fox.

Be a Trump Lion.
