The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

      So we should be happy that our best option is moderately less horrible than our worst option and pretend we’re ok with that

      For Palestinians he is slightly worse if not the same. So if that is the criteria for the choice, there is insignificant difference between them.

      The difference might be to be killed in a few days (Trump) vs a few weeks to months (Harris).

        Well at least you’re admitting he is the worse choice for Palestinians, so that’s a start.

        He’s also far, far worse on every other issue I can think of, such as those directly impacting Americans.

          Him being worse doesn’t make Harris good, she is just not that bad.

          For people voting on that basis might decide immediate death would be better than definite death after prolonged suffering. That makes him better.

          Gaza is a foolish hill to die on and make a choice on. Nothing you do or choose is going to make a difference.

          He’s also far, far worse on every other issue I can think of, such as those directly impacting Americans.

          He is no different than all the despots and dictators America has exported. He is no different than the founding fathers.

            What a mind numbingly stupid thing to say.
