Yes true. And DOGE is fantastic.
But his statements about Gaza have pretty much turned Egypt and the Saudis. The Saudis wont fight, they just want to protect their oil and their lives, but Egypt said if Israel violates the ceasefire with Hamas, then Egypt will violate their ceasefire with Israel.
My longshot hope is that Trump is pretending to help Israel by being extreme in a way that he knows will infuriate all their enemies and actually collapse Israel. But I think that is a longshot. More likely he sees Gaza as real estate.
