The short, fake Donald Trump really is a wholly-owned creature whose priorities are completely unrelated to American national interests:
Donald Trump told Arab leaders he will only broker a peace deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if they normalize relations with Israel, according to a leaked phone call.
The most powerful leaders in the Middle East, including those from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, joined the President on a conference call on Saturday to discuss progress toward ending the US-Iran war and reopening the vital oil passageway.
In return, Trump pressed the leaders to normalize ties with Israel, a demand aimed at nations that have opposed the Jewish state since its founding in 1948.
Arab leaders were so stunned by the demand that they refused to respond, remaining entirely silent on the call, according to Axios.
After a prolonged silence, Trump nervously joked, ‘Are they still there?’
With the silence unbroken, Trump ended the call by announcing that his envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff would follow up on Israel normalization in the weeks ahead.
Interesting and informative priorities, to say the least. After the Gazacaust,normalization is obviously a complete political non-starter; 9x more people have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli government than were reported to have been killed by the white South African government for the totality of its rule there.
At this point, I suspect the only reason Iran hasn’t proactively resumed the war is because they know the ceasefire is to their advantage with regards to rearming.
