CNN Suddenly Applauds Trump's 'Nefarious Ways'—When Used Against Israel

On CNN This Morning, in a discussion of President Trump pressuring Bibi Netanyahu over the latest Gaza peace proposal, Stephen Collinson, the ponderous CNN senior politics reporter, said:

"What's been missing in all of his peace efforts so far in Israel and in Ukraine, is his willingness to impose power and leverage, American leverage. We often talk about more nefarious ways he does it in the United States, but is this exactly what should be happening now, that Trump is finally standing behind his statements?"

So, suggests Collinson, Trump applying "nefarious ways" to Israel is "exactly what should be happening now."

Host Audie Cornish had highlighted a poll indicating that two-thirds of Americans oppose sending more weapons to Israel, and the same percentage support sending humanitarian aid to Gaza.

A chuffed Cornish quipped:

"There's a whole bunch of students out there who are probably like, hey, thanks for coming around."

Yes, keep up those pro-Hamas encampments, teaching disruptions, building occupations, and "From the River to the Sea" chants, kids! It's working, and Audie is with you!

Trump seems to want to wrap up this thing in Gaza before we move on to Iran.

I think he wants to wrap things up in Venezuela before he moves on to Cuba.
