Trump: Hamas onslaught, Israel counter-attack wouldn’t have happened if I were president

“It would have never happened if I was president. Iran was broke… They had no money for Hamas, for Hezbollah, they were broke,” he says in a “Fox & Friends” phone interview.

“They wouldn’t have done it to me. I guarantee you that. They did this because they have no respect for Biden.”

Asked whether he supports the way the IDF is fighting in Gaza, Trump responds, “You’ve gotta finish the problem. You had a horrible invasion [that] took place.”

“Likewise, Russia would never never have attacked Ukraine. Never. You know it, everybody knows it. This is all on Biden.”

Asked whether he thinks US President Joe Biden is in the process of “abandoning Israel,” Trump responds, “I do believe that” before mocking his successor’s mental competence.

“It’s the fascists and the communists [who] surround him. They’re making the calls,” Trump claims.

Asked whether he supports US Vice President Kamala Harris’s call for a temporary ceasefire, Trump reiterates, “This attack on Israel, and likewise, Israel’s counter attack — which is what it is — would never have happened if I was president.”

He appears to again claim that the 2020 US election was stolen before saying, “all these people that are dead in Ukraine and Russia and Israel all these areas that are destroyed. People would be leading great lives right now.”

“We’re gonna end up in World War III,” Trump warns.

takeway:
- Trump's purported reason why Hamas wouldn't have swet into Israel taking hostages on Oct 7, namely, because Iran would be weaker and not suppplying them, rings hollow to anyone familiar with the situation.
- Trump approves of the Israeli response, and says so.
- Yet again, Trump provides zero reason as to why or how Ukraine wouldn't have happened.
- Trump's lack of intelligent statements is a true insult to Americans. His braggadocio and base swagger is rather juvenile.
 
Clearly the real problem is that we aren't supporting Israel enough! Luckily Trump is just the right person to address that.

On the contrary, those things are all as American as apple pie.

H.L. Mencken made numerous trenchant observations on this theme.

Of all the random and ignorant things Trump says, he is probably correct on that, for a variety of reasons other than "Trump is a bad ass". While Trump's unpredictability does give foreign leaders pause, the actions, corruption, and incompetence of the compromised Biden Admin are more to blame.

If we give $5 billion to Iran, that's another $10 billion+ we have to give to Israel to protect them from the military aid we just gave Hamas. That's called funding both sides of a war.

Trump wants to defund Iran, which will significantly lower the amount we would need to give to Israel to protect themselves.

I'm all for defunding both, but obviously defunding Iran and reducing the amount we have to give to Israel to protect themselves from the military aid we give to Hamas is highly preferable over the status quo.

Let me guess: "defund Iran" is your rebrand of Trump pulling out of the nuclear deal to twist it into a good thing actually.

Your $5 billion to Iran isn't real and your logic of "actually He saved money by giving money to Israel" is abused-spouse levels of apologia.

You were already dead wrong at, "If we give... to Iran."

"Defund Iran"? We don't give money to Iran. It's explained here:

Iran is not in a position of control over Hamas whatsoever. Iran gets most of its income from China, selling oil.
Hamas doesn't even have any serious weapons like Hezbollah, which also had nothing to do with October 7th.
 
Allow me to get my crystal ball out.

Part of the Iran deal involved lifting sanctions. Those sanctions included money that the US ordered frozen. Giving them their own money that we stole from them was spun as foreign aid and/or a bribe.

yes, like every day and night by the likes of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. In between big pharma commercials, of course...
 
True. Putin wanted Biden to be president because he knew it would be a lot easier to invade Ukraine.

So basically you're saying what I said is technically incorrect, but also you are admitting that Trump is correct.
 
Trump is right.

Iran has been at war with us since their revolution and both O'Bummer and Brandon gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
The enemy gave aid and guidance to its proxies to attack Israel and us.
Both also just directly gave money to Hamas and proxies of Hamas, Trump had cut off aid to them.

Ukraine wouldn't have happened because Trump would not have allowed Ukraine to provoke Russia.
 
LOL. Ukraine was provoking Russia all throughout Trump's presidency.

Not like what happened afterwards.
And Trump was exposing their corruption, that was one of the reasons the Demoncrats tried to impeach and remove him.
 
The perfect phone call about Biden getting the prosecutor fired for investigating Burisma.

Is your memory really this short? or is it just selective?

I'm not surprised that you don't remember that I considered both impeachments hogwash because I didn't consider what Trump did to amount to anything at all, because you were too busy foaming at the mouth over Justin Amash at the time in a Nixonian loyalty fit. But I didn't think a phone call inquiring about whether something was ongoing amounted to anything at all then, when that was your position too. And I don't think it amounted to anything now, while you seem to be claiming Trump exposed everything single-handed, right down to buying that second hand laptop.
