This was supposed to be another one of those satire articles written in a right-wing voice but not really feeling it right now. It’d be too flippant with the miseries being inflicted upon innocent people in both Israel and Gaza starting with the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on Saturday.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t shitpost for just a little bit here and ask the question posed in the headline here: Where’s the “King of Israel” now? How come he isn’t heading to the country to provide comfort to the people he says would elect him Prime Minister “easily” if he wanted to run there? If this never would’ve started if he were still president then surely he could do something to stop it now on his own, right? So why doesn’t he just take “Trump Force One” there?
This isn’t as deeply couched in bad faith as it would first seem. Yeah it’s not “good faith” either, though it should follow that if Trump’s fanboys screamed at Biden for not visiting the East Palestine, Ohio train wreck like Trump did, and Detroit during the auto workers’ strike – Trump announced first but Biden visited strikers a day before Donald’s non-union rally – then lib trolls should nag the MAGA assholes about Trump visiting Israel. If he’s serious about winning American Jews’ votes and so they can “get their act together” then Trump should 100 percent go there right now. Show the leadership Biden supposedly isn’t. Make a fiery speech to a gathering of right wing politicians. Rally the IDF’s troops. Whatever. It’s a long flight, he can figure out what to do on the way. Israel needs their King.
