Ruler? Oh come on now. He can and probably will be impeached in the dims gain the house this November. He doesn't sound like a ruler to me, he is a leader making the tough choices.

In particular, the decision not to insult this country's most important Arab ally.

That's the image he gives when he is 1/2 cocked and threatens to veto any attempt to block the port deal (you know, the one he didn't know much about).

The admin is tone deaf. They haven't communicated this issue very well at all. Awful.

We have Arabs with whom we do business when it is expedient to them. But we do not have nor will ever have an Arab ally.

Right now, Turks are lining up around the block to see a movie in which a Jewish doctor cuts organs from Turks to send to Israel. Two years ago relations between Israel and the Turkish generals were so cozy that Israeli pilots were training in Turkish airspace, of which there is a great deal more than Israeli airspace. Now this. Just goes to show that no matter how you get along with the elites the man in the street hates your 'crusader and Zionist' guts and this will be the deciding factor.
