Ronald Lauder said that Israel has an image problem and needs professional help. He’s right, up to a point. The billionaire cosmetic heir is a personal friend of both Trump and Netanyahu.

The greatest threat facing Trump is not that Republicans will find their backbones and tell him “no” but that voters in November will.

More than any single player, Bibi bears responsibility for the loss of American support among most Democrats, a growing number of Republicans, and increasingly within the Trump administration.

If there are any winners during the war with Iran, one may be Vladimir Putin, the man Trump has frequently called his “good friend.”

Overconfidence and poor planning condemn Donald Trump’s war with Iran to fail.

Trump has aggressively taken away power from Congress, much of it surrendered willingly, thanks to weak and inept leadership.

He is using all his power, with the collusion of a spineless Republican-led Congress, to make it more difficult for millions of Americans to cast their votes this fall and into the future.
