Trump arrives in Israel, and asserts to the Israelis that "We just got back from the Mideast." (Where in the world does he think Israel is?)
Trump vehemently denies doing something that no-one had accused him of doing: using the word "Israel" when he was disclosing classified information to the Russians. In doing so, he inadvertently confirmed what had heretofore only been speculation -- that Israel was the source of the classified information he had disclosed.
Trump is an idiot, but he's Netanyahu's idiot. Netanyahu looked like the proverbial deer in headlights as he stood impotently listening to Trump make a fool of himself on the issue of classified information. Netanyahu threw his lot in with Trump, and he's stuck with him, at least for now. We all pray for peace in that very troubled region, and we will thank God if somehow Netanyahu and Trump stumble into it; but it's very hard to be optimistic. Trump doesn't even know where Israel is and undoubtedly could not find it on a map.
