⚡️🇺🇸 WATCH - Donald Trump: "These poor fools talk about global warming... It's going to global warm to a point where the oceans will rise 1/8 of an inch in 355 years... And in the meantime we're spending our wealth on this foolish stuff."
"The wind doesn't work. It's very expensive, kills the birds, destroys everything around it... It's the most expensive energy. And then every nine years, you have to replace the turbines."
Regardless of your views on Donald Trump, do you think he's right about this? #asknostr

the shitcoiner in chief flapping his gums again... all he had to do was tell his loyal base to move on from the epstein files and they complied with barely a whimper. sadly, americans get what they deserve... a uniparty state with red and blue poms poms.
Why would anyone give this grifting, compromised clown the time of day?
Why would anybody who's not an American give this much of a shit?
born and raised here bro... my roots go deep... which makes it harder to watch. should I vote harder next election?
Ah you were speaking third, well, Nationality., I guess.
I assumed otherwise.
Well, I know my Day to day American experience went down with Obama admin, sky rocked in Trump 1, tanked under Binden, and (so far) normalizing in Trump 2.
Obama lied and sent us into the grinder, but Biden was still somehow far far worse.
I assume your exp has been different?
At this point, I don't trust any politician that puts their allegiance of Israel over the US... and it appears that most of them do, and simply pay lipservice to America First principles.
You could have stoped after "politician" ^-^
So what are we doing with Israel that violates America First? I've heard this brought up from time to time, but, unfortunately, I haven't heard how.
I assume it's mostly money, but if we help Isreal settle down, it may net positive.
The list is long... here are some things to chew on:
American politicians often support policies that prioritize Israel's interests over domestic American concerns, which can be seen as contrary to an "America First" approach. Here are several ways in which this support manifests:
1. **Military Aid and Weapons Transfers**: The U.S. provides substantial military aid to Israel, which can be seen as diverting resources from domestic needs. For instance, the Biden administration has approved the transfer of $8 billion in arms to Israel, despite criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza ^1^. This support continues even as the Israeli military, equipped with U.S. weapons, engages in operations that result in significant civilian casualties in Gaza ^1^.
2. **Diplomatic Support**: Politicians often align themselves strongly with Israeli policies, even when these policies are controversial. For example, during the Israel-Iran conflict, U.S. politicians have emphasized their support for Israel, advocating for a tough stance against Iran and often prioritizing Israeli security concerns over potential American interests ^2^.
3. **Economic Assistance**: Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid, with hundreds of billions of dollars allocated over the years. This economic support is often seen as a priority, even when domestic economic challenges exist. For instance, the U.S. has continued to authorize significant military aid to Israel, such as the $15 billion approved in 2024, despite growing opposition within the Democratic Party ^3^.
4. **Political Alignment**: Many politicians, especially those in the Republican Party, have a history of strong support for Israel. Former President Donald Trump, for example, recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the U.S. embassy there, a decision that reversed decades of U.S. policy and was seen as a significant concession to Israeli interests ^4^.
5. **Humanitarian Concerns**: There is often a focus on supporting Israel's actions in regions like Gaza, even when these actions lead to humanitarian crises. For example, the Trump administration has been criticized for not doing enough to address the starvation crisis in Gaza, despite providing aid, and for deflecting responsibility onto other countries ^5^.
6. **Congressional Votes**: Recent votes in the Senate have shown a shift in the bipartisan consensus supporting Israel, with some Democrats rebuking Israel's handling of the Gaza war. However, many politicians still support authorizing military aid to Israel, indicating a continued prioritization of Israeli security over potential American interests ^3^.
7. **Foreign Policy Decisions**: U.S. foreign policy decisions often reflect a bias towards supporting Israel, even when it might not align with broader American strategic interests. For example, the U.S. has been involved in brokering talks between Israel and Syria, prioritizing regional stability in a way that benefits Israel over potentially more beneficial outcomes for the U.S. ^6^.
These actions reflect a political stance that often prioritizes Israeli interests over a strict "America First" approach, which can lead to policies that may not always align with domestic American priorities.
