Skeptics have highlighted how Trump was the one who initially called for the Chinese-owned social media app to be banned in 2020

    I will argue that so was the Israel cease-fire “strong-man” act. In fact my conspiracy theory is that Israel explicitly delayed the cease-fire so that Trump could look strong by finishing it, then whined a bit in the newspapers to sell it. This is not even the first time they GOP has done this, as per the Iran hostages affair.

      Sounds like the Iran hostage crisis remake.

        Which was itself a sequel to Nixon trying to stall peace negotiations during the Vietnam War.

      Yeah and it’s not far-fetched considering how openly Netanyahu endorsed Trump. With Trump in office Netanyahu can do whatever he wants, waging a costly in terms of PR war will be no longer necessary.

      Judy Woodruff was forced to publicly apologize because Trump and Bibi said they didn’t talk about delaying it, but I still think she was right:

      I mean, I’d trust unnamed sources over these two guys any day.

      I believe it was because under Trump Israel would get better terms as Miriam Adelson paid for that.
