UFC Match: Trump vs. Netanyahu

I've been trying to convince myself that this latest round of Trump castigating Bibi was just another ruse, but the more I watch the news, the less convinced I've been.

To sum it up, here's The Times of Israel: 

"Trump reportedly updates Netanyahu over phone that Iran deal may be signed tonight

"Reported progress toward deal comes after Iran was said to be incentivized not to attack Israel in response to Beirut strikes * Trump says Israeli attack shouldn’t have happened, none of Lebanon should be hit in future; says Netanyahu ‘has no f**king judgment’"

As if that wasn't bad enough, I then saw on TV that -- surprise! -- Tehran wants more time regarding the deal. So I shut off the news.

Iran has already had weeks to think about a deal. And we should not have stopped bombing them last week.

But when you attack our great ally Netanyahu for retaliating for Hezbolleh attacks on his country while begging a terrorist state like Iran to sign a deal today -- well, either that's the best piece of Oscar-winning acting I've ever seen, or else it sends a very wrong message to Iran. And now Iran will keep stalling because of our weakness.

I realize that Trump probably wants to be able to announce the nonexistent signed deal at the fights tonight to celebrate his birthday. But this is one thing that even he can't control. 

What he can control is the ability to issue a sincere apology to Netanyahu, ASAP.
