It is foolish to trust in goyim, in other Jews, or even in oneself.

אלה ברכב, ואלה בסוסים;

ואנחנו, בשם-יהוה אלהינו נזכיר.

But Trump's history is that of a guy who makes incredible deals. Only Nixon could go to China. Nothing is over yet, and the greatest crime is малодушие.

No "good" has ever come from Trump. No "good" will ever come from Trump. As his dementia progresses and his grasp of reality deteriorates further, either one of his worshippers will turn on him or he will start the next very short world war hoping that the three survivors will remember him as "the greatest" - better than Mohammad Ali.

Did you raise the same concerns about the previous President, who definitely had a severe dementia?

The previous president wasnt destroying the world economy to satisfy his sense of inadequacy, nor did he claim to be an omniscient genius. He had competent people with expertise other than kissing his "ring". I didn't like a lot of what he did and said, but Trump is another story. He is difficult to criticize because he denies he said what he said, makes up whatever "facts" suit him at the moment, and revels in his own stupidity and ignorance. Perhaps you should spend a few minutes watching his "campaign speech" where he spends several minutes mimicking somebody performing oral sex on his microphone. This was his hilarious critique of Kamala Harris' politics and would have resulted in anybody else getting pulled off the stage for their own protection.

Ronald Reagan demonstrated that the country can survive a President with Alzheimers but he was only suffering from dementia. That's the least of Trump's psychological problems. The list is very long. It isn't at all clear that the country or the world will be able to survive his special combination of psychological conditions plus greed, amorality, greed, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, greed, ignorance, stupidity, greed, and a few other wonderful qualities.

Can you have a rational conversation with a person with a severe TDS? Is throwing misdiagnoses is, in fact, a reverse symptom. Go away.

Covering your ears and yelling "I can't hear you" is not productive and will not save you from his eventually turning against whatever is is you think he is going to do to benefit you.

This conversation has to start by you admitting the faults of the left. But your religion and TDS precludes that. So there is nothing to talk about.

It is "almost" amusing that, when the conversation gets to how Trump is a lying, thieving, corrupt, psychopathic, antisemitic, xenophobic, germphobic, amoral, ignorant, stupid, arrogant, fool, whose social development ceased at around the age of 7, the response is ALWAYS "TDS, NYAH NYAH". This is classic stuff for person who has no idea what he's talking about and is stuck with the social development of a 7 year old child . If you think a man who can be trusted only to lie whenever it suits him, to take bribes and brag about them, to rip up agreements that negotiated himself because they're "so unfair" after having declared the same agreement "the greatest deal anybody has ever made" ,

to think out loud only about how he can get richer, that such a man is going to give any thought to " saving Israel from Hamas" or anybody else, then you need to get some help to get you out of a dangerous cult. Wake up. He does not care a damn about Israel, Jews (except "they make the best accountants and doctors"), nor his plastic beautiful wife - the most beautiful woman in the world, of course - nor about anybody else except people who can help him get richer or just give him oofles of cash - until he thinks they've stopped doing that.

I doubt if thinks any more about Israel since Bibi won't listen to him or help him get that beautiful golden resort in Gaza built.

That's reality. If you don't know that, you have not paid attention to the behavior of this slimey crook for the past 4 or 5 decades and seen that his current behavior is only the same greedy shenanigans brought to a new, more intense level.
