In his defense, he did tweet earlier today, that he was going to call the President of Turkey, before heading out to Golfing, and after Golfing "Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!"

My guess is we don’t see peace in our lifetimes. What seems logical or simple on the outside often is not on the inside where passions run hot. Take the Dome issue. There will be no compromise ever on that. @Northwest

@jackjjackson I never thought we would see a re-unified Germany either, but it happened. Same with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
There is a simple compromise for the Holy sites: create an international treaty, to demilitarize that part of Jerusalem, and allow access to everyone, with strict security protocols in place.
It's a downward spiral. Israel has no incentive to compromise, as long as we don't allow any compromise, the Palestinian territories are subjected to an apartheid existence, radicals use that as recruitment fodder, and so on and so forth.
Abbas is someone who can lead his people to a peaceful existence, but he needs someone to toss him a bone. Arafat was corrupt to the core, and he always fought for his privileges until the last Palestinian, selling his people to the highest bidder.
Netanyahu wants to replace Palestinians in the West Bank, with Jewish settlers. We're no longer even pretending to block him. He's delighted that the US is now back to its "oil first" agenda. The only problem this time around, is that the system of despots that kept the region "stable", is no longer there.
There are plenty of other moving pieces, but change can happen top down, if we care enough to make it happen. It's not going to under a Trump presidency.

Those are like the NYT crossword puzzle compared to the Israel issue. I wonder if in twenty five years when oil is obsolete whether anything will change the dynamics. @Northwest

it's ironic that he used to complain about Obama playing too much golf and taking too many vacations..

He’s good for a dozen pair. At least. @Northwest
Oh the irony of his statements.

Now let's be fair to the man. It takes great time and dedication to harass private citizens and mock colleagues in the style of a petulant 4th grader via tweets and social media. Everyone deserves some down time.
Ha ha ha! Same old old song. Different party. Different president, practically the same words. The Obama haters weren't as nasty and treacherous as the Trump haters, but it was the same whining!

Trump’s a hypocrite. I think that’s been well established.
