    Trump's never going to be as eloquent as Obama.

    But, he's also not going to coddle the Mullahs in Iran.

    As a result, he got a much warmer welcome in both Riyadh and Jerusalem. Israel knows they have a friend and supporter in the White House again. That's more important to them than who wrote the better message ay Yad Vashem.

    At least that has a certain flair to it.

    *Great pull, by the way.

    LOL.

    He said the information he had supported the FBI's probe to determine whether or not there was collusion. He's not putting the cart before the horse - which is what you're demanding.

    Nick Mulvaney is on my TV right now giving a press conference in which he is spouting absolute bullshit. He's trying to explain away ridiculous assumptions that give him unicorn and pixie numbers. ... He refuses to accept reality! Because he's a positive guy.

    What he is saying is akin to a baseball team planning their season by assuming that 4 of their players will bat .500. Anyone who scoffs is just negative.

    They are in fantasy land. Even if this thing wasn't politically dead on arrival. ... it is more of the same. Shifting the deck chairs, but more debt on top of debt. It assumes that is even possible for another 10 years at the pace they are talking about. It isn't.

    I'm not sure I understand.

    We all know that the Trump campaign was understaffed, and had inexperienced employees, who shared crude internet memes without giving it much thought.

    Do you think that, as a result, the Israelis are not happy to have Trump in the White House?

    I don't see how you could make any argument that they don't prefer Trump's policies to Obama's.

    In particular they are fans of him giving intelligence shared in confidence to his Moscow buddies.

    He saw "contact". We all know that Page, Manafort, and Flynn had contact with Russia. And, in regards to all three of them, these contacts pre-date the Trump campaign.

    Despite months of investigation, Brennan is still unable to say he's seen any evidence of collusion.

    Who do they prefer Dick, Trump, or Obama?

    Despite his flaws, it's obvious they prefer Trump.

    What Obama did to Israel at the U.N. on his way out the door was despicable. It's ridiculous to even suggest the leadership does not prefer Trump.
