    One of the reasons I wince when Trump spends time with troops. They’re excited to see him. They deserve the attention. But they don’t deserve to have their service politicized. They are not a MAGA crowd. If Trump really respected them, he would leave partisanship back in DC.

    Front page Israel Hayom Thursday morning: Netanyahu’s Likud party threatens Attorney General if he indicts Bibi; Bibi announces he will not resign if indicted (as if we didn’t know already). And as Tomer Persico says, this is a mafia, and we’re just getting started.

    Says the president - who claims to have opposed the Iraq War - quoting a senior aide to George W Bush during the run up to and invasion of Iraq.

    Brad Blakeman: “The American people understand that we have been played by foreign actors who would rather have us fight their battles for them. The President says look, this is your neighborhood, you’ve got to stand up to protect yourselves. Don’t always look to America.”
