Netanyahu can’t wipe the smirk off his face.

US soldiers should not be put in harms way for Israel.

Imagine if Putin came to New York and said, "everyone has to move out, we are sending you to Canada and Mexico and taking away your homeland". What a moron

[czogg]

Why are the US taxpayers cleaning up Nathanyahu’s mess in Gaza. Do you know how many billions it will take to rebuild Gaza . What kind of foolishness is this.

[Bargerland]

Yes, because this worked so well in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump, the NeoCon Artist.

[DR_Hiss]

In not even three days he caved to Canada, Mexico, and now Israel. So embarrassing.

Don’t act surprised. He’s doing exactly what he said he’s do. If you didn’t know that, reconsider your news sources.

Wildman Trump has Netanyahu smirking like a kid in a candy shop.

[Globodyne]

Netanyahu was smiling when Trump was talking about death and destruction.

[prometheusc]

Trump's solution to the most complex conflict on the planet is building casinos and condos in Gaza. This would be funny if he and Netanyahu didn't have the military power to make this happen.

[rjs]

I have a really bad feeling about this one.

[johnmisrahi]

Democrats who didn't vote for harris because she supported Israel. How's that working out for you now😢

[professorakiba]

Someone who thinks Donald Trump isn't interested in acting on Panama, Greenland, and Canada, this is an example of the truth behind the "jokes".

[TorchAnalytica]

Israel and USA are one country secretly.

[trevorfrancis]

To say that Trump is a Muppet would be an insult to Kermit
