Trump is clearly the Teddy Roosevelt of our lifetimes.

Nope. Very important reason you mention this, but no, he's not. Please look up TR's lifetime and actually understand his background and see why he was an effective president. Trump is nothing like that.

tbqh if those two had ever met, roosevelt would have beaten trump into the fckin ground

Trump's Israel Ambassador pick is a certified nutcase and conspiracy theorist

It's been speculated this pick will piss off Netanyahu because Friedman is to his right and it will make it harder for Bibi to fend off attacks from the Israeli right.

I heard he's against the two state solution. Good. That'll only accelerate a single, unified Palestine where the Palestinians eventually become a demographic majority.

Which is specifically desirable why, exactly?

Because the "peace process leading to a two-state solution" has from the onset been a newspeak-facade that actually means stalling for time until Israel gets to have its cake and eat it too by making the settlements a permanent fait accompli, while not taking a demographic hit by "generously" granting the Palestinians their own "state" in the form of isolated bantustans the size of cities.

(many of) the settlements already are a permanent fait accompli, what's your point?
