So I'm wondering which of his advisers is telling him it's a good idea to nuke the Middle East, dump NATO, and charge Israel for defending it?
It’s called “negotiation.”
You demand far more than you actually want at the beginning so your adversary is happy when you settle on a compromise that you both can live with.
It’s all in The Art of the Deal, but like I said you obviously are a person who doesn’t need facts because you already know everything.
“So I’m wondering which of his advisers is telling him it’s a good idea to nuke the Middle East, dump NATO”
I just read the transcript, he explicitly says he doesn’t want to go nuclear.
He explicitly says he doesn’t want to dump NATO.
So did you just make this phony stuff up or what?
As opposed to “carpet bombing” the Middle East, advocating belonging to an organization structured for a war that the paradigm has shifted, the U.S. foots the bill and the other participants have let their militaries dwindle and rust?
