Pure contrarianism
29It's more division. His trolling is to isolate the left if anything else. That's been the alt-right strategy for a while. His base hates Israel because they hate Jews. This riles them up while also further equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Add to the fact that Trump's shit takes are blasted everywhere, overtaking any anticolonial analysis, and this becomes the dominant assumption among liberals as well. To the uninformed, leftists now look like they are tailing Trump's antisemitism.
This is my analysis for Trump's contrarianism anyway. Hunch is that this is very much a tag team effort between Democrats, Republicans, and media giants to manufacture consent while alienating the left. Trump is not as rogue or off-script as the media paints him to be. He is doing what is expected.
These past four years have felt like Democrats are trying to lose reelection on purpose, alienating every demographic that came out to reluctantly vote for them and betraying us more egriously than past administrations. At this point it really just feels like they're prepared to hand Trump the presidency and are just going through the arbitrary steps in the circus. The ruling class has already positioned themselves for the full transition from liberal domestic politics to full-on fascist takeover.
24His base hates Israel because they hate Jews.
Do they hate Israel? I mean, Trump was always a staunch Zionist, and quite a lot of anti-semites support Israel's existence because they want Jewish people separate and away from from the west (and also, they're even more Islamophobic than they are antisemitic)

Headline is a bit misleading. From the AP:
He said Israeli leaders needed to “step up their game” and referred to Hezbollah, the group Israel fears may launch a large-scale attack from the country’s north, as “very smart.” In an interview that aired Thursday, he added to his criticism, saying Netanyahu “was not prepared” for the deadly weekend incursion from Gaza.
Lmao according to that article he has personal beef with Netanyahu for acknowledging Biden's win? Anyways, I went to his truthsocial and he's only posting extreme Zionist stuff. He even has a couple videos going in about how he's the "only president that can protect Israel, no one else will"
26Thank you for clarifying! So basically he's continuing to side with the secular, Ashkenazi, Israel lobby contingent as he always has, even back when he was a democrat. Blaming Netanyahu for allowing Israeli settlers to be killed, not for genociding Palestinians. Just like Netanyahu's domestic opposition have already been doing.
Hopefully this is an indicator that the domestic situation in Israel is too polarized to form a unity government tasked with effectively wiping out Gaza, as some are calling for.

He’s trying to be controversial, all his supporters would drop him if he took a Pro-Palestinian stance
12It looks good, but you have to remember there's more or less nothing this guy hasn't said at some point or another. He's the political equivalent of a random sentence generator.
