Trump's personality and the making of history

There is no doubt that there is a strategic alliance between Israel and America, and Trump was part of this alliance during his first term in office, during which he killed Soleimani, canceled the nuclear agreement with Iran, moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli property.

But Trump, with his confident personality and arrogant pride, which only grew after the US election results, in which he won by an unprecedented majority, became more impulsive and overconfident, to the point of arrogance. Let's not forget his frequently repeated statements, such as: "If I were president, the war in Ukraine would not have happened," "If I were president, October 7 would not have happened," "And I will stop the war in Ukraine before I assume the presidency," etc.

One hundred days into his presidency, Trump is discovering that he has not fulfilled any of the promises and plans he announced. He has stumbled in Panama, Canada, Greenland, Europe, and Ukraine, and is now about to turn to the Middle East.

Trump pauses to review the past, saying to himself: "I canceled the nuclear agreement in favor of Israel, and now it's dragging me into a war with it and trying to interfere in negotiations with Iran... I killed Soleimani in favor of Israel, while it denied any connection to the operation (to avoid revenge)." Then he reviews the past 100 days and says: "Israel supports Zelensky (the Jew), who rebelled against me at the beginning of my term, left the meeting as a hero, did not sign the minerals agreement, and did not accept an end to the war." Without Netanyahu's knowledge, he decides to initiate negotiations with Iran.

Trump recalls how he imposed a ceasefire in Gaza shortly before taking office and how the aid delivery began. He then recalls how Netanyahu capitulated to the extremists, canceling the agreement and starting the war again, this time more intense and brutal, with famine imposed on Gaza. He also recalls the decisions of the Israeli security cabinet to launch a wider war and occupy Gaza, and Netanyahu's statements that he would not withdraw from it. His memory takes him back to his dream of controlling the Gaza Strip, only to realize that the victory he achieved by stopping the war has been lost, and that his dream of owning Gaza has evaporated.

Trump sees Israel's eagerness to grab a piece of the "Syrian pie" and its complaints about Türkiye's role, so he responds: "Erdogan is my friend... go and talk to him."

Trump recalls that he launched daily raids on Yemen on behalf of Israel, and when he hears Netanyahu declare that he is "not bound by the previous pattern of responses," he feels insulted. He immediately stops, calls Yemen, and reaches an agreement without having to inform Israel.

On his way to Saudi Arabia, he recalls the call he had with Mohammed bin Salman, during which he received a trillion dollars. Then he recalls the sums America spends arming Israel, and asks, "Why should I pay Israel what I receive from Saudi Arabia?"

He remembers that his national security advisor made contact with Israel without his permission, so he gets angry and fires him immediately.

He also remembers the massive demonstrations in America and Europe against the war, against Israel, and against America itself, and he says to himself: "Why should I pay the price?"

Trump recalls the election period and the Zionist lobby's stance, shaking his head, dismissing his son-in-law Kushner and replacing him with his Lebanese cousin, Massad Boulos.

Netanyahu bombs the port of Hodeidah and declares that he "consulted with Trump," only to receive a response from America: "He informed us... but we did not consult."

As Trump packs his bags, he decides there's no need to visit Israel. Netanyahu leaves the courtroom where he's being tried for corruption and heads to the operations room to witness the destruction of Sana'a airport.

Trump looks at the map and finds that all the countries in the region are loyal friends of his (the regimes), with the exception of Netanyahu... his strategic ally. He recalls his landslide victory in the presidential elections and says to himself: "Netanyahu has rebelled against me. He acts as if he were my partner in the presidency, and he must be punished. We gave him everything, and he did not win in Gaza. He must go."

As for Netanyahu, he drinks a lot of coffee, paces back and forth in his house, screaming and crying, and says to himself: "Should I resign to maintain America's support, or should I use the lobby to get rid of Trump?"
